Sufferings..


“Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.” Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

This road is packed with memories..
the very small part of the city where my family come from..
Edirne / Turkey



All leavings and meetings..
Together with hope and desperation..
Nostalgic Train Station in Ankara,
the capital city of Turkey.

“She was a genius of sadness, immersing herself in it, separating its numerous strands, appreciating its subtle nuances. She was a prism through which sadness could be divided into its infinite spectrum.” Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything is Illuminated

"packing, unpacking what's in your suitcase,
    go ahead and reach in and pull out a new face"
                        Living in Limbo by Jane Birkin 


                     Listening to this song over and over again..                      




   Each day sitting on a bench, watching the horizon, and reminiscing..


“but something always went wrong, and the relationship would end precisely at the moment when she was sure that this was the person with whom she wanted to spend the rest of her life. After a long time, she came to the conclusion that men brought only pain, frustration, suffering and a sense of time dragging.” Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes


Wherever you go, you are bound to carry your own being with you..

Shadows of My Mind


"If faces were different when lit from above and below - what was a face? What was anything?"
         - W.Golding, The Lord of The Flies 
Kadıköy/Istanbul

Things are out of control. Actions, behaviours, words, faces that are changing instantly lose their meaning. They continuously change. The change is spontaneous. When you deal from different perspectives, there exist different outcomes. There are always at least two different sides of things, namely events, actions, words etc.  If this is so, how one can believe in this or that one.

There is always one side staying in dark. There is always something one might not notice, which means being sure is not possible at all. One way or the other, the dark side remains.The unknown nature of it leads the dark to be frightening for people. Noone can be sure of things in darkness, whether it does bear good or evil.


"When the light begins to change 
I sometimes feel a little strange 

A little anxious when it's dark"
