A lot has happened since the last time I've written on this blog. I have dropped out of University (what a shock I know), and wondered what the fuck will I do with my life in this beautiful country Serbia.
Of course, since I was a child I've been a driven justice-seeking-Johnny-Rotten-like philosopher, and that got put on hold at the same moment when I realised that Love is actually the one thing in this world that is the most important. It's the only thing that makes life worthwhile. It's survival, and it's safety, and it's a dream come true.
Nothing else matters, having all the money in the world, going to concerts and seeing the glimpse of a person you used to be in the mirror while passing by in hurry to make it to yet another useless life's class on how to be a proper adult. It doesn't matter, if you come back home to a room you've slept in since you could breathe.
And all of a sudden, I got it. I swear to God, it's everything they say it is. And more. And it's exactly what I was looking for. And I want to say that I don't write anymore - I do, of course I do- just not about a broken heart and shooting stars.
Recently, I became that glimpse I used to pass by again. And I'm concentrating more on the adult part of life, such as the "no future" that has been inked to my soul since high school. And of course, the thought about how we're all just stumbling around trying to find cheap organic vegetables to gain the illusion that we're actually taking care of ourselves better now than when we were living with our parents, safe, warm, without paying the electricity bills... fucking electricity bills.
Anyways, the project that has been officially written is "Light the candle to support the Sun" which is the poetry anthology book written in the years between 2014 and 2020.
The book is ready to be published on Amazon KDP, because I'm doing everything alone and no Serbian publishers want to publish poetry written in English from a writer that doesn't know their ass from their pen holding hand.
That's the project I will be focusing on promoting the most, and it will be officially published by the end of June, or start of July. There will be a countdown and everything, I want the fireworks of course!
And the next project I am preparing is "The United States of Serbia" which is a book? A memoir? Maybe a collection of essays, all related, to my life. And lives of my peers in Serbia who don't know what the fuck to do in this country with no University and options like cleaning the streets and being a teacher that grant the same salary... And of course, this project is kind of a work in progress, which means that it's nowhere near finished, but it's developing quite nicely for the past few months.
So basically that's all on the past and future projects for now that I have prepared, stay tuned of course!
I am preparing the official youtube channel where you can tune in and watch me ramble about anything and everything, ask questions, and of course, follow for more updates on this bundle of chaotic energy poured into words!
