“Dear Heval (comrade) Axîn. Take a deep breath from freedom when you feel you are really tired. A breath hurts your lungs. Say hello to the freedom and free space when you leave the breath. That time you will understand that the life is on the sweat on your forehead. Take a breath for me too, OK? Take care of yourself. Kisses.”
