Fiery Tenderness

There is a fire inside everyone, you just need to find it. And you never know what exactly will help you with this.

I had been looking for my flame for a long time. Probably, like many others, I wrote poetry as a teenager. I still remember that awesome feeling, when lines appeared in my mind and formed into poems by themselves. All I needed to do was just to feel and write down the results. But as I grew up, I lost that amazing feeling and poems entered my life less and less.

But then the work became the sourse of my fire. I loved it madly and was literally dissolving in it. It seemed to me that it would always be like that, but alas, at some point I fell into a trap of professional burnout. I wasn't ready to change the job, but the way I felt was extremely depressing and, trying not to allow this depressed state to develop into something more serious, it was necessary to urgently look for a new source of fire. 

And unexpectedly I found it in storytelling. I discovered the ability to create entire worlds with my rich imagination and, just as important, share them with other people. Storytelling unexpectedly led me to another hobby - drawing, which soon grew into something more and started bringing not only positive emotions, but revenues as well. 

However, the happiness I get when I write can hardly be compared to anything else. And I sincerely hope that my fire will warm you through my stories and will give you at least a tiny bit of the happiness I felt in the process of their creation.
