Derya’s Recent Updates

Derya K added a status update: "Love is realized only when two people connect with each other from the essence of their being, when each holds themselves from the core of their being. This very experience of knowing from the essence is the foundation of human reality, of vitality, and of love."
— Erich Fromm

DERYA KAYA, RECURRİNG RELATİONSHİPS: BREAKİNG FREE FROM EMOTİONAL REPETİTİON

“I had made countless mistakes throughout my life. Yet, I had never before dared to label them as "mistakes.”
DERYA KAYA, the women in the green skirt

DERYA KAYA, COMİNG BACK TO YOURSELF: THE PATH TO COPİNG AND RESİLİENCE

“Either I must be accepted as I am, or I must be brave enough to grow — knowing it may cost me my place among others.”
DERYA KAYA, COMİNG BACK TO YOURSELF: THE PATH TO COPİNG AND RESİLİENCE

“Which one of these, Safira, is my true self?”
DERYA KAYA, the women in the green skirt
