A perspective on the life of a refugee.

As a refugee myself, I found a lot of points and events I can relate to in this book.
You become a new born baby once you seek asylum in a different country, except that you are in your adult body and full of experience and knowledge that might be useless in your new “home”; thus you start learning it from scratch (which is not optional).
Walking the refugee path is like going through labor to be born again. Only this time you are your own mother. You navigate your way through uncertainty and fear with the help of the struggling flames of hope you have.
On your way, you come across natives, other refugees, different cultures and new perspectives that you have never thought existed.
You might fall in love with someone and have your first kiss- again. Because everything feels like a first- again.

I found the author doing an amazing job describing this journey from his perspective and of those around him.
It might be a unique journey of his but the joy and pain that it holds make it extremely relatable.

Thank you for taking me one step closer towards being more empathetic and appreciative to everyone around me.
İyi ki varsın 😇🙏🏻
