When the world hunkered down in 2020 to fight against the pandemic, all I could do was pass the time doing what I loved most: writing. So was born Young.Geulling, an online group for writers all over the world to come on Zoom to let the creative juices flow. With 100+ produced writings, we compiled the best ones into paper publications to be shared with family, friends, and more.

Our gatherings became moments of liberation, a sanctuary untouched by the pandemic, where we could envision ourselves meeting face-to-face over coffee instead of through a computer screen. We imagined this time to be 25 o'clock, where we dwelled in our own reality, dedicated to the act of writing. After settling on the theme of time and curating the last puzzle pieces to shape our book, we designated different times of the day as chapters and finalized the layout. Each member selected the time frame that best suited their piece, contributing to the creation of the final book.
