{:en} 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...

{: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} 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} 2019 “The Future Is Now” – More Than Just a Nightclub Back then, going out at night in Istanbul was not just about stepping outside. It was preparation. It was a state of mind. In addition, a few names defined that state of mind. Among them, the most talked-about was Ceylan Çaplı. She was not just a club owner; she was a visionary. In the venues she opened, music did not exist on its own; it was crafted together with the atmosphere. The lighting, the decor, the sound, even the energy of the crowd, all were part of a single composition. People did not just have fun in her clubs; they were reborn within a...
