Welcome to La Jolla, a seaside village that has inspired artists with its turquoise skies, elegant homes, and palm-lined streets, and has been welcoming locals and travelers with its sunshine for decades.
Let me set the scene for those of you who have never been to La Jolla. This part of San Diego is reserved for families with children as well as adults. The streets and houses are very well-kept. It has a more mature and cultured look and feel and a comfortable structure, in short, I can say it is the address for peace and luxury.
I decided to take a day trip to La Jolla, about...

It was the 2001 new year I flew back from Canada to Turkey for Christmas break and we as a tradition of my family, we decided to celebrate the New Year in London. You see we are a very secular family therefore we didn’t celebrate any of the holidays most families did around us. Most of them were like obligations of fake family dinners where everybody smiled at each other’s faces but talked behind their back. I did have a very fake family; I think that is another story for another day.
Today it is all about how I ended up in London and what is next.

Spring is making its presence known, with the weather warming up and magnolias already budding. A vibrant explosion of colors is just around the corner. Isn’t it remarkable how nature maintains such a perfect balance? Each season follows the next, bringing its unique palette and emotion, and I love them all. But I can’t help but reflect on a thought that’s been lingering in my mind—while nature keeps this harmony, we humans continue to disrupt it at an alarming pace. That said, I won’t dwell too long on the rhythm of the seasons. Today, I have a secret to share.Once again, feeling restless and eager to...

You are my little pebble
Finding your own path,
While I am the vast ocean
Waiting for you.
When we unite,
With the strength of your small heart,
You will love every part of me.
Our laughter, our lovemaking will echo.
You will want me for who I am.
But, now everything has turned into a nightmare.
I didn’t want you to understand—
Just to love me back.
This grand love frightened you.
You thought our story was a dream,
Wanted to wake up,
And you left.
I hear from you occasionally.
When the places I wounded ache,
You feel me,
Find joy in that pain.
Your leaving never diminished me,
But your scent, your voice, your love
Left with you.
That’s what hurts the most.
Friends say life is...

Some people who haven’t really engaged with the topic of psychotherapy might have very different ideas about it. These perceptions can vary greatly. Some might think that therapy brings quick results, and all concerns are resolved in just a few sessions, but real progress takes time. Others might think that going to therapy is “nonsense” and that it’s not possible to heal in a way like this. And then there are those, who want to start therapy but just don’t have the courage to take that first step. All of these perspectives are completely understandable and human!
But what does a therapy process actually look like, and...
