{:en} Hello from Turkey Bonjour from Istanbul Hallo from Beyoglu Ciao from Galata Tower Merhaba from Hagia Sofia Do you know what the first step that carries a call for peace in all languages, turns all the bad thoughts in our souls upside down, brings the dialogue on the same color, destroys distances, and brings people closer together?

Although there are many reasons to explain when I was asked what writing means to you or why you are writing, a short “memoir” for me is the best answer to this question. I want to talk about...

{:en} My dreams stayed small,  Though I dreamed them large.  Looking back now,  They’re the dreams I can’t find anymore. My dreams stayed in the clouds, The day I let them slip  While watching through the airplane window, I never found my way back.

My dreams stayed on my daughter’s cheek.  She grew up and went away.  How could I blame her?  She was only listening to me. My dreams searched for...

Maybe your clothes feel tighter even though your diet’s on point. Maybe your moods swing out of nowhere, your hairbrush is filling faster than usual, or your digestion just won’t cooperate.
