Beschreibung
While my full name is Fatlind, I’ve always gone by Lind. In Albanian, “Fat” means “luck,” and “Lind” means “born.” I don’t know if I was born lucky, but I’ve been fortunate enough to experience life in all its colors. That’s why I chose to go by Lind. I was born in a small village in Kosovo, Krushë e Madhe, and moved to Prizren 14 years ago. While Prizren is home now, my village has left a permanent mark on me. Krushë e Madhe, one of the most devastated villages during the Kosovo war, holds its pain in every corner. I often find myself returning to its old roads, especially during life’s hardest moments. Walking those paths reminds me of resilience and the strength to keep going. My debut book, In a Dream, is the culmination of a decade of writing. It contains poems, short texts, and diary entries collected over the years. Alongside the book, I’ve included a poster of poems that remain deeply personal—pieces I couldn’t bring myself to publish. For now, they are mine alone, safely tucked away in my drawer. The title, In a Dream, came to me as a reflection of a time in 2016. I was grappling with derealization and panic disorder, a struggle that continues but is now less hurtful. Writing became my lifeline during those days. Keeping a mental health diary often felt like wandering through a dream I couldn’t escape. I would reread my entries obsessively, questioning their coherence, grammar, and logic—terrified of losing my mind. This state, which I still call “a dream,” taught me the importance of speaking out about mental health, no matter how difficult it feels. While this book captures moments of joy, romance, and occasional glimmers of hope and freedom, its heart lies in the battle with mental health struggles. Till now, I have written six diary pieces, creatively documenting my everyday life as I wrestled with what I wished wasn’t mine. The diary remains a work in progress, much like the fight itself—a race I’ve been running for years.This book is also my journey as a writer. It reflects my attempts to explore and experiment with different forms of writing, often doubting myself along the way. The chapter divisions may only make sense to me, but you’re welcome to search for the cues and interpret them in your own way. I know I have a long path ahead to find my voice and style, but I refuse to limit myself or confine my creativity to a single approach. I allow myself to experiment, to leave words and sentences unfinished, and to burn some of them entirely.
