Derya KAYA added a status update: The Right Not to Turn Reading into a Performance

Let’s not compete over how many books we read. Turning reading into an obsession with quantity rather than reaching the true pleasure of books can push real life behind the pursuit of numbers.

“Kaitlyn examined every curve, every elevation inside Edwin’s palm as if she was discovering a secret of her own. She was trying to read Edwin’s childhood, youth, and future in those lines.”
Derya KAYA, Coblestones of Silence

DERYA KAYA, the women in the green skirt

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

“Permanence is no longer realistic; transience is considered normal. And that very normality turns into an invisible climate that quietly threatens one’s sense of existence.”
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

“You are enough. You didn't deserve to be abandoned. You need to relearn that you are worthy of love.”
DERYA KAYA, RECURRİNG RELATİONSHİPS: BREAKİNG FREE FROM EMOTİONAL REPETİTİON

“A person who becomes attuned to what they feel and need develops deeper authenticity in relationships and a more integrated sense of self.”
