Nothing Like This Existed

Nothing Like This Existed

I kept searching for something that would make me feel closer to home.

I was searching for something that would ease the կարոտ I carried for my homeland, a feeling of longing that's difficult to put into words.

I looked everywhere.

I found books filled with remarkable history and facts.

But none of them gave me the feeling I had been searching for.

None of them made me feel like I was home.

None of them made Armenia feel close.

They taught me about my country, but they never made me feel like I was there.

That's when I realized...

The book I had been searching for simply didn't exist.
