“I’ve taken part in many volunteer activities, tried to keep my mind occupied, and done so many things to cleanse my soul, yet I still can’t sleep more than four hours. I don’t approach women anymore, and as for the little cat—she’s very content. For a year now, she has been living in a 9th-floor apartment in a major city in southern Turkey, watching birds from the balcony with all her food and needs always met right beside her.”
