Have you ever wondered what the heart secretly conveys? It’s more than just words; it transcends feelings. I believe that when the mind and heart work together, they can create something beautiful.

A story comes to mind about a mushroom named Tilly that was inspired by a funny situation: my haircut reminded my sister of a mushroom. I had opted for a less experienced hairdresser because, during my university years, I didn’t have much money but loved a fancy haircut. This scenario eventually led to a new story after I flew across the world to live in another country for a while—one that continues to shape my thoughts and feelings to this day.

So, I often wonder if all my experiences hadn’t happened the way they did—the good and the bad—I wouldn’t be able to create my books as they are now. Or perhaps it’s the other way around; the stories shape themselves while I watch them grow. Maybe the author is the visionary catalyst, but the story takes its own turn.
