"I’m nothing great. But I’m a rose. I’m a rose whether I’m admired or not, I’m a rose whether anyone’s crazy about me or not. Like I said, nothing great. Just a rose.
But, do you know what it means to be a rose, my friend? Being a rose means ‘freedom.’ It means not existing by the praises of Others or not ceasing to exist by their disapproval."
-The Missing Rose, Serdar Ozkan
