Fragments of a Restless Mind – Volume 1

By Kismos Yass

What happens when your mind becomes your loudest prison?

In this raw and deeply personal memoir, Kismos Yass traces the haunting echoes of a childhood that felt too quiet on the outside—and too violent on the inside. Fragments of a Restless Mind is a poetic and emotionally charged journey through silence, trauma, identity, and the desperate longing to feel understood.

Raised in a home full of love and loudness—but little connection—the author learned early to mask pain with humor, to stay quiet instead of speak, and to disappear before he was broken. From being bullied at school to hiding behind a version of himself that felt more acceptable, each chapter exposes another piece of the inner war: between who he was, and who he was told to be.

This volume is not just a story—it's a scream from within, wrapped in reflection, tenderness, and raw truth. It is for anyone who has ever felt like a stranger in their own life, anyone who's learned to survive by becoming invisible, and anyone still searching for meaning in the noise of their thoughts.

Volume 1 ends with the stirring beginning of something new: a connection that might just become love. But even that is a question. The next chapter awaits.
