In the book "Memories" is a collection of poems, written throughout various periods of my life. In it I talk about my thoughts and feelings, that I hope many can relate to. The main message I hope to deliver is that even when everything around you seems to crumble and fall apart there is always a light of hope that will shine through if only you can see it. I would like to say special thanks to my mother and grandmother, who kept believing in me; to my good friend Victoria Woodward, who helped me translate some of the poems and who was the first reader of my book; and a very special thank you to a person who helped me through a very difficult time in my life and helped me see that sometimes writing is all you need, Irina Milosevic. Without each of you I would not have begun my book, I would not have translated it, and most importantly I would not have believed I could finish it. I can only hope that my poems can bring the reader solace and comfort they brought to me.
