#meanings

To me, the writer's main job is to just make the story unscroll in such a way that the reader is snared - she's right there, seeing things happen and caring about them. And if you dedicate yourself to this job, the meanings more or less take care of themselves. That's the theory, anyway. ↗

- Когато гледаш една ръка отдалеч, Кимя, може да ти се стори, че има само едно течение. Ала гмурнеш ли се във водата, си даваш сметка, че там има повече от една река. Реката е скрила в себе си различни течения и всички те текат в съзвучие, но същевременно са напълно обособени едно от друго. ↗

It makes me uncomfortable to talk about meanings and things. It's better not to know so much about what things mean. Because the meaning, it's a very personal thing, and the meaning for me is different than the meaning for somebody else. ↗
