About Author, Lalita Janette
I wasn't the girl who dreamed of becoming a writer.
I'm originally from Thailand.
Today I live on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus.
Between those two places, I spent ten years working as a chemical engineer in the oil and gas industry, flying by helicopter to offshore platforms.
If you had asked me then what I wanted to become, "writer" would have been the last answer.
Looking back, I sometimes wonder if my phone had to break before I could finally hear myself.
I had travelled away to heal a broken heart.
My phone stopped working.
Suddenly there was no one to text.
No one to call.
No endless scrolling.
Only silence.
So I picked up a pen.
On the fourth day, while I was writing in my journal, a sentence appeared in my mind.
"You are a writer."
It made absolutely no sense.
English wasn't even my first language.
I had never dreamed of writing.
I argued with that voice.
"No, I'm not."
But somehow...
It refused to leave.
It took years before I believed that voice.
Years of insecurity.
Years of wondering whether I was good enough.
But something surprising happened.
I fell in love with writing.
It became the place I returned whenever life stopped making sense.
When I don't have answers...
I write.
And somehow...
The answers find me.
I still don't know exactly where this journey will take me.
I only know this:
I'm deeply grateful that one quiet voice interrupted the life I thought I was supposed to live.
Because it led me here.
And perhaps...
It led you here too.
With Love
