{:en} Loneliness fell like a whisper,  waiting for you in the hush of cold air.  A sorrowful longing, brittle as frost,  mist weaving its veil around the world.  The man whose eyes I once kissed—  gone.  Left like footprints on an old field road,  fading, yet the wounds he carved  ran deep, deeper than time itself.  I once believed that roads  were meant to grow shorter.  But this—  this defied all reason, all gravity.  The closer I came,  the farther you drifted… Beril Yabar {:}{:tr} Yalnızlık düşüyordu, Seni bekliyordu. Soğuk bir hava da buruk bir özlem… Sis bürümüştü etrafı… Gözlerinden öptüğüm adam, Bırakıp gitmişti. Eski bir tarla yolunda, İz bırakan ayakkabılar gibi… Yaraları vardı kalbimin, Ve onun bıraktığı izler çok derindi. Gittikçe kısalacaktı yollar, Öyle öğrenmiştim. Tüm fizik kanunlarına aykırı bu olanlar. Uzaklaşıyordun ben sana yaklaştıkça... Beril Yabar {:}

{:en} Age doesn’t progress it deepens. 
Some things don’t fade; they refine. 
What remains is not less, but clearer. 
Still 35 is not an age;
it’s a stance. Hello beautiful people 🙂 This time of year, I return to myself.  Late April… another birthday. And yes… once again, I am 35, maybe a little more.😊 At some point, age stops being a number.  It becomes awareness. But I have to say this too.. there’s a phrase I keep seeing lately: “Being fit after 40 is equivalent to owning a Ferrari.” Honestly, not a bad goal. 🙂 Every birthday feels like an internal update.  A personal software upgrade. What did I learn? What did I release? Who stayed, and who...

{:en} Dear Readers, As March continues, our relationship with planet Venus has started to retrograde. If you read my article last week, I mentioned its effects based on zodiac signs. This week, the Lunar Eclipse will occur on March 14, 2025, at 08:54 Turkey time. We have entered an important eclipse and an important month that will bring about effects that will spread throughout the year. There will be a new eclipse on March 29 following March 14. Those of you who read my first articles will remember. I stated that we will remember 2025 as a year of eclipse series and abundant transformation and change. Here we...

{:en} Hello everyone, As an architect who wanders the streets in search of meaning for no reason, I am writing this article with the desire to share with you my recent trip to South Africa and Cape Town. The city of Cape Town makes its user experience the timeless side of architecture. The city, which was formed by the articulation of different styles over time, hides a tribal culture under its modern-looking side. The city reveals this dynamic culture in itself in different contexts on facades and urban furniture. For example, while walking on an ordinary street, you may come across a series of houses whose walls are painted...

{:en} My Love and Valuable Readers, Love to all of you from the first Monday of February With the entrance of February, we are starting to lean towards more individualism. You will adopt more humanistic principles with completely free, innovative ideas in your life. Perhaps many of us will tend to take a courageous step toward things we could not do before. My advice is to check your liberation processes. We should always proceed by thinking “How will this decision I make affect me and my environment?” before taking a step. While Mars retrograde is already revealing the results of the choices we have made in the form of emotional crises...

{:en} Hello dear friends… This month, I thought a lot about what to write and how to write. As it is known, we are going through very difficult days in my country. On the one hand, seeing thousands of people die, you are trying to hold on to life and do something. On the other hand, you are trying to continue your work on art by doing more. Believe me, being exposed to and living with these situations every day for the last 20 days has made me realize that most of the time, it is necessary to work hardfor our own psychology to work properly. My only...

{:en} Seagulls, lovers of the sea, Burning with passion, The sky of Miami... At sunset, it turns into a blazing inferno, This city as furious as arena bulls, The deep wound of my heart, blood red... As for me, I'm inside my shadow, In the candlelight, I've engraved Old poems, you know? There you are: The woman who sets my world on fire... Beril Yabar {:}{:tr} Martılar deniz müptelası, Yanarken aşktan cayır cayır, Miami semaları... Adeta yangın yeri gün batımı, Arenadaki boğalar kadar kızgın bu şehir, Gönlümün derin yarası, kan kırmızısı... Bense gölgemin karasındayım, Mum ışığında çivitle yazdığım Eski şiirler var ya? Sen işte oradasın: Dünyamı kahreden kadın... Beril Yabar {:}

{:en} Depression is a mental illness that occurs with a frequency of 4-7.1% in all countries, is associated with biological and environmental factors, and can be recurrent or chronic. Depression affects every area from a person's productivity to his social life and negatively impacts physical health.

Depression can cause an unplanned increase or decrease in body weight. In studies, the strongest relationship between...
