This is the story of a girl from Bulgaria. (I still feel like a girl)

In 1999 I ended my college studies and before moving to the capital for studying in 2 universities, a friend of mine lend me the first 5 books of the Wheel of Time to read during the summer vacation.
I didn’t know what I’m starting at all.. a huge series that I’ll be reading for 15 years!

When Robert Jordan died, I was devastated… I still remember that moment and also the next one, when I heard Brandon Sanderson is going to finish the series.

After reading the last page I was lost… 15 years with these characters and their struggles, battles and revelations. Like I lost real friends.
Sitting on a bus one day I was thinking… ¨What will it be to watch them on a TV screen one day¨…

Years later in the beginning of 2019 I was fired by my cousin’s wife, after working for them for 8 years and even moving to Spain for that job. Some days later, I’m not sure where exactly I saw the news, but OMG… Wheel of Time was going to become a real TV show! In that really hard moment I found this glimpse of hope, that life is not so bad after all.
And like in the book… It was A Beginning.

I started composing music again… not just that.. music inspired by the Wheel of Time. I even wrote songs with lyrics from the books. I started making designs for some of my favorite WoTTubers. I even made my own channel to publish my original music.
I took part in the WoT Idol, collaborating with another fan. I found new friends around the world, passionate about the same thing.

The Tv Show – OMG… I didn’t expect to like new characters, but it happened. 

First Rand! Josha had this gargantuan task and I was so nervous about it… Rand wasn’t my favorite character in the books to be honest, but what he did…. Rand in the books is so complex, so difficult to even imagine. Josha IS Rand. This is all I’m going to say. I was so happy that he started reading the books, he even finished them and started rereading them. He’s a real fan and after season 3 I just want to see the whole journey.

Then Liandrin – I hated that woman while I was reading… I don’t know how Kate Fleetwood did it, but it was a face I wanted to see more and more on screen.

Alanna – Priyanka just gave her this feeling that I liked a lot.

Loial – I knew making an Ogier will be very difficult, I always struggled imagining these creatures while reading. But from the moment I heard his voice, Hammed Animashaun just nailed it! Even though the visual part was not perfect, that just didn’t matter at all. He was Loial a 100%.

Like many fans I had things I didn’t like, especially in season 1. Season 2 improved a lot and I found more new favorites – Mat!!! Lanfear, Elayne, Verin… 
And season 3…. OMG… I finally felt this is what I was waiting to see. I know it’s not perfect, but it just felt right! I’m in the middle of all of these people fighting to prove they are right – haters and lovers of the show. I just enjoy watching it, even with the flaws it has.

So did the Wheel of time TV show change my life? Oh… it sure did. Because of the music I started writing again, I finally shared it with the world. So one day, when I’ll be gone, I’ll know I left a piece of me for others to enjoy.

I learned how to make videos, how to record songs and music pieces, I even decided to study UX/UI design for 2 years and now I have a diploma and I work for myself as web designer.

How I want to finish this story?

Lately I was feeling desperate… because of all the things happening in the world. People are turning against each other everywhere, especially on the Internet. I live in a small village in Spain and most of the time I’m home.
When I want to escape from all the problems, I just want to watch something that makes me feel good. Now…. I can’t anymore… No more Wheel of time…. the story is not finished at all and I’m feeling like crying. I’ll not be seeing Josha, Maddy, Zoë, Ceara etc… 
And the thing that is making me even more desperate is the fact, the the fans are divided…

Why is that? Why all the hatred? Why can’t all of us enjoy what we like? Some of us the books, some other ones the TV show, and some both? What’s the main theme in the books? – If we are united, we’ll win the battle. Why try to convince people what to like and what to even hate?

Can’t we just be happy that all of us enjoy the Wheel of time? No matter the form?

Thank you all for the past few years!!!
Thank you Josha, thank you Zoë, thank you Dónal, and many many more.. Thanks to all the passionate people in the production that made my dream come true. Thanks to the fandom and all the great people I befriended.

I feel a new rush of energy right now, I want to fight for all the people like me, the people who want to see the story finished. LINK WITH US!
