{:en} I haven't experienced new loves, That could make me forget the old ones. I haven't searched for your eyes, That could lose myself in. I'm afraid I'll be carried away by longing, Or that I won't return... Here I am in such a state of mind Drinking but unable to sober up, I'm in limbo... I can't find a solution. My heart is heavy. There are so many breaths I couldn't take, So many desires I couldn't live. You're standing on distant hills Gazing from afar What does it matter? I'm in indescribable pain, There's no cure for my sorrow! Yet prescriptions were written Thousands of them: Letters upon letters You didn't come... Beril Yabar {:}{:tr} Ne yeni aşklar yaşadım, Eskileri unutturan. Ne senin gözlerini aradım, Kendimi kaybettiren. Özlemin beni alır götürür...

{:en} There is a certain beauty in being alone. A quiet dinner at home, a solo workout, a walk through the city without anyone to rush you. These moments of chosen solitude can feel like a reset. A way to hear your own thoughts without the noise of other voices. They are not about loneliness, but about presence. About enjoying your own company. And yet somewhere between a peaceful Friday night spent reading and another weekend passed without a single real conversation, the line begins to blur.The truth is, solitude is not measured in hours but in intention. Cooking alone after a long day might be nourishing...

{:en} Chapter 2: Roots Editor’s Note By Melda Sherman Living in Limbo is a narrative series adapted from true migration stories. This is not simply the story of one Adem or one David.   Adem’s journey carries traces of the real experiences of dozens of people who have traveled through Mexico in an attempt to reach the U.S. border. David’s story reflects another side of migration: the memories of Americans whose families arrived in the United States from somewhere else generations ago.    Names, characters, and certain events have been adapted for the purpose of storytelling. But the emotions are real. The goodbyes are real. The fears are real. And so is the hope carried by those who wait...

{:en} We start the week with two hard angles. Mercury-Neptune square and Mars-Uranus square. Mercury-Neptune square indicates deception, deception, deception, deception, self-deception. Mars-Uranus square, on the other hand, indicates anger, nervousness, sudden emotional outbursts, accidents, tension, heart, plans and projects being turned upside down unexpectedly. Let's not say every word that comes out of our mouth this week without thinking. Let's be careful in the steps we will take and stay away from unnecessary impulsive exits. Those with planetary placements around 20 degrees in the signs of Taurus-Leo-Scorpio-Aquarius in the natal chart will be more affected. Mercury will be in Cancer from June 27 to July 11,...

{:en} I am not someone who likes to share my feelings. I am someone who lives in my own world, weighs and solves these situations. I did not want to constantly share this earthquake disaster on my social media pages, but I am in a situation that I see around me and now I need to intervene. Everyone around me is constantly talking and crying about this issue, making themselves suffer. It is very nice to share feelings, as the old saying goes, "Lives increase when shared". But there is also that; You cannot understand the pain of people who experience pain because it didn't happen to you,...

{:en} I was ten. An age when I asked questions far too metaphysical for a child… And I had fallen in love with mythology. Not kidding. I had in my hands the “Historical Encyclopedia of Mythology,” a promotional giveaway from Güneş newspaper — one of the more well-known dailies of the time. Thick, hard-covered, filled with illustrations… It felt like a kind of sacred book to me.  For 30 days straight, I clipped coupons without complaint, convinced my late grandfather to give me 30 TL, and dashed to the pickup point. Walking home with that encyclopedia in my hands, I felt like a mere mortal who had...

{:en} I'm starting the first article of 2023 with Walt Disney's words "If you can dream it, you can do it"... We started 2023 with a new page, a new beginning and new hopes.  Every year, while some people achieve their dreams, others keep their hopes for the next year with a weak hope after dozens of disappointments… We are determined.  Our newspaper is full of hope and has just been born.  You will observe that knowledge, energy and joy overflow from the writings of our authors.  Together, we will set a stone on the path to happiness.  As the Great Leader Atatürk said, "A healthy mind resides...
