“I don’t know exactly when this book began. For many years, I thought I was writing different things. Sometimes notes. Sometimes diaries. Sometimes poems. Sometimes letters. Now that I look at them all together, I see that I was almost always writing the same text. […] Perhaps, in the end, that is all that happens here. A person trying to remember,” the author says in his foreword.
“Out of absolute darkness, a light emerges. This is not a story of condemnation, but a painful return to the truth of the self. Even on the edge of the abyss, a love of life can overcome the darkness,” Yannis Skourletis notes in the edition’s introduction. “Love is not always enough to protect us from the mistakes of those we love. Nor do good intentions undo the consequences. But understanding may allow us to stop repeating what hurt us, without having to condemn those who passed it down to us for our entire lives. Because adulthood, if it means anything substantial, is not the moment when we stop blaming others. It is the moment when we begin to take responsibility for what we do with what they gave us. […] The possibility of happiness lies not in the perfection we strive for, but in the imperfection we dare to acknowledge. We don’t need one more attempt to become better; for the first time, we need to allow ourselves to be real and endure what we discover. Because the opposite of dependence is not self-sufficiency. It is the freedom to exist without having to prove that we deserve to exist,” writes Sotiris Tsafoulias, who penned the edition’s afterword.
