"The boxes in the attic are blocked by the ghosts of the past,All of them lying about on loose boards.It's difficult to reach them.Difficult to open them, butremoving the weight of everything else,releasing the place from the crowdwill clear them all.Uplift the fog,give a better vision,restoring the old library I almost abandoned." - Excerpt from chapter "Ghost of the past""I'm at a loss of words,and words are my strength,but recently I'm at a loss of words,feeling the thorns spread to the whole of my body.Overwhelmed by you.You being nice.Too nice perhaps,overshadowing me with what is mine." - Excerpt from chapter "Overshadowed"
About the author
I am a Danish-born-and-raised of Turkish-Kurdish descent living in Germany, and I'm currently a Master student studying Media Art, Culture and Communication.
I first thought to publish under a pseudonym, but I chose not to, because my name stands with meaning on the cover of this book. ''Kubra'', a name of Arabic origin, meaning great or wise, while the Turkish family name ''Okutan'' means teacher or educator. While we do have a long line of doctors and educators in the family, I did not choose to publish my writings under my given name to think wisely of myself, but to be a motivation for others to find themselves on their own path of life.
