One day, I found Annie Ernaux's book "Passion Simple" and read it at once. It made me think that I would be capable of writing my own story in a similar fashion.
I had a strong story in my body and mind, floating in my veins, one that entirely changed me and my life forever in a very tangible way but, when I was about to put it down on paper I realized that the facts were very scarce. Almost nothing happened in the real life to write about even if it was a passion, even if it entirely changed me from inside out and despite the fact that the object of my affection was indeed a person who lived and interacted with me under a short period of time.
Is it a pure phantasy? This is what I leave over to you to decide. If you asked me I would say definitely not - I would answer you that it was more real that the life itself.
