{:en} Time has passed so quickly. A huge vacation with you is over and I'm back home. Now I am sitting in my summer house thinking about you. In my head, I made a 26-day accounting of my vacation that started on June 7th. Where I went, who I met, and how I lived it to the fullest. How much I missed being with you, your streets, buildings, friends, acquaintances, and most of your surprising weather. Can you have 4 seasons in one day? Yes, my London is with you. Everything is possible with you. I made unforgettable memories in the company of my close friends Muge & Trevor. As soon...

{:en} Take a moment to think about the last time you felt joy. Did you smile broadly, laugh out loud, or quietly savor the moment? The answer likely depends on where you are from. In Latin America or people with Latin cultures, emotions are often expressed openly. Joy is loud, grief is shared, and anger can be temperamental but fleeting. This openness comes from a collective culture, where emotional expression strengthens bonds. In contrast, in East Asia, emotions are more covered or more silent. Societies like Japan and China value harmony, often prioritizing emotional restraint to maintain social balance. A Japanese person might feel the same joy...

Imagine a woman who has just ended an eight-year relationship after finding out her partner was unfaithful. She feels like her entire world has collapsed. There are tears, confusion and the overwhelming thought of starting over. While this kind of experience is sadly not uncommon, something about how it is shared nowadays is definitely different. Her journey is not just something she lives through, it also becomes something she gently sharesonline, in short videos with soft music and thoughtful captions and long descriptions. A quiet moment of sadness,...

{:en} In  the last ten years, meditation has grown from a purely spiritual practice into something that fascinates scientists too. Neuroscientific studies reveal that consistent meditation has the power to reshape how the brain works and even its physical structure. Research shows that meditation can positively change our brains, strengthening areas responsible for thinking, memory, and emotional control. As a result, we handle stress better, think more clearly, and focus more effectively. Consistent meditation also helps quiet the mind and sharpen attention. In addition, meditation may increase gray matter in the brain, which could help slow age-related decline in memory and cognition, providing advantages for both the young...

{:en} I woke up to the light today. Around me, there are gardens with all shades of purple, blue, yellow, and green. There are hundreds of birds chirping in the branches of the magnificent trees, the sound is like a piece of a nature documentary. A dog plays hide-and-seek with a city worker cleaning the port, having such fun it makes me smile. I am writing this article from Bodrum Bitez Mansion. There are hundreds of sailboats side by side in the harbor. A white cat is jumping from that boat to this boat. He is fed up with fish, he is looking for a game, as...

{:en} New order, new structure, new direction. A door to seriousness and reality.On the longest night of the year, when light rises at its latest point, a new door opens. The Capricorn New Moon, occurring on this date, calls for disciplined growth, not rapid expansion. Seeds are planted in the darkest hour of the night—because the soil is dark. This new moon does not grow grandiose projects, but nurtures solid foundations. Plans, not dreams, speak. Structure, not words. Stability, not emotion. This universal cycle tells us:“Whatever you are going to build, build it with patience. For this beginning takes time.”Below are the influences according to the rising...
