Istanbul: Shocking news is coming from the other corner of the world where a Turkish TikToker, Kubra Aykut, died by suicide.

I was good to everyone in my life, but I couldn’t be good to myself.' ’Fistik' is believed to be her pet.' ‘Living as a good person gave me nothing. In this life, be selfish. That way, you will be happy. I’ve been struggling for days, but no one noticed. I’m leaving because I love myself and want to think about myself for once. I’m sorry. Kubra Aykut. How surprised are you now, right?,’ her suicide note reads, as reported.
