About this ebook

All my writings are kind of a … self therapy


And i was writing on and on and on …. defining my feelings and thoughts …

But it was a little bit funny realizing the contradiction between what i thought, what i felt deep inside of my soul … and how i was acting on the stage of life.

… analyzing and defining myself … the one that i thought i was … deep into my soul … and the one from the outside world … i was realizing it’s such a huge difference.

And still … i was trying to be better … but all i was doing was … pretending … on and on and on.

But why?!

Why … this huge different between my inner self and the one from the stage of life?!

I knew the theory … and knew all i had to do … and i was really pretending … i was doing the right thing, but …

Well …. most probably my real problem … which was a huge one …. was probably that i was disconnected from my inner self.

I knew about that self.

I knew it exists … and i had to be one with it … and even if i was pretending i was doing the right thing … it was all a lie.

I was lying myself … pretending … on and on and on …

Why?!

Why?!

Why?!

Until one day … when i decided that i need to stop doing that … and practicing the process of self therapy … i started to be more honest in front of myself.

Cause … I was simple … wasting my life … pretending … and i really had to redefine myself.

This book took me on an emotional journey, weaving together the struggles and resilience of refugees with an overarching theme of hope. Dumitru's storytelling is raw and authentic, making the reader deeply empathize with the characters' plights. It's a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit and the importance of love and destiny in shaping our lives.

About the author

I’ve started to write my first book at 16 … but then … realizing i could not publish it … i’ve abandoned the idea of being a … writer.

20 years later … i’ve started to write again … believing i will finally succeed … but i’ve failed one more time … not getting the success i was chasing for.

Another 5 years later … i’ve started one more time to write … but this time … more as a therapy.

It’s what i’ve defined as … self therapy.

I was analyzing and defining lots of weird ideas … that were a lot related to me … and my own soul.

I totally forgot that i was chasing for success.

I was simple writing my thoughts … in essays … becoming this way … maybe not a writer …. but what many define as … an essayist.

This is not a poet … and not a writer.

Or maybe is kind of a poet that is incapable of writing poetry … but is still expressing his thoughts … into a similar way … as a poet.

And is not a writer … cause have not the ability to write for too long time … about the same subject.

But maybe i am not an essayist… either.

I am just an ordinary person … that could be better defined … as a thinker.

Analyzing … and defining my life … practicing this process called … self therapy … i started to understand life … and the way to better paths which i should follow.

And i’ve wrote … and wrote … and wrote … realizing one day that i’ve published tens of books …. not really understanding how the hell I’ve succeeded doing that.

Today i dare to recommend writing … as a therapy.

I could even say … it’s a simple way of understanding who we are … but also a process that could help us … heal our souls.

I personally continue to … write.

It’s in fact … a non ending story that … at least for myself … will probably continue for the rest of my life.

But over all … i am glad … i am doing it.

I continue my philosophical journey … not being able to define myself for clear as a writer or an essayist… but …

Well …. most probably… i am on a good path.

And … i would dare to recommend to everyone … all what i am doing today.
