"A Whiter Shade of pale"

...And they told us that there is nothing to be afraid of. There might be nightmares and all that other sad dreams but the daylight would save us at the end.

We waited, oh, we waited too long.

By the time, we started to think about ourselves. Thinking was not a good idea afterwards, because it had influenced all of our inner parts, and finally, we couldn't move without thinking the next step.

Then they told us to "think" with our hearts. Heart was the most irrational part, how could a bunch of muscles could move so fast in such a short time period? That was fantastic, and we believed in that part of your body then.

However, that shouldn't be the case either. Because, then we started to lose our way. We've ended up in "no turning back" streets, and we have never seen anything coming before we go through all the pain.

So, what could be the best thing we can do?Well, we kept thinking and thinking.

Sometimes, too much thinking is not good as well as overlooking the realism that we are born in. We still try to balance our inner part. And as we get older, it gets more difficult -it seems- at least, for now.

Walking through

When she found herself piling up a list of songs she hasnt listened to for a long time, she decided to embrace the growing feeling. It was sneaking in like a drug, slowly dissolving in her veins and travelling to different parts of her body. Being aware didnt help to define what it was, as it appeared at different instances - in the midst of walking through a breeze for example, or observing a bird passing by, and then there were melodies crawling her mouth- pulling her to the songs. It was easy to be drawn to the familiarity of it. Warm and secure. Calm and see-through. And it was born at the instance of a talk- an insignificant moment for many but too late for her as she got lost in the flow and decided to welcome the new feelings. Just a talk, I assure you, an exchange of words in an attempt to express feelings and thoughts. But the flow - it was familiar, yet unknown and welcoming. Noone could tell the invisible knot that was being knit- except maybe the goodbye hugs were getting ...

Kesfedilmemis Element

Ne itiyordu beni o sayfalarca yazilari yazmaya?  10 sene önce bu blogu neden actigimi hatirliyorum. Üniversitenin ilk dönemiydi, bir konferansa katilmistik, bir hoca bize bir seyler anlatmisti, acaba neydi soylemeye calistigi seyin özu..

No Screws Loose

  It was a rainy august day when I got departed from the last piece of screw in my jaw. I welcomed it more than 10 years ago, after seemingly a brave decision to take part on a new orthodontical method for correcting teeth and how the mouth closes.  I still remember the doctor trying to convince me that some people were flying from other cities just to have their teeth corrected there. Not that the method had any particular popularity or needed selling out, it was more the dedication and willingness to have a better-looking teeth that my doctor tried to impose on the patients. He would make pictures on each step, which I assume was part of some PhD thesis along the way. At the day when he put 4 screws to my mouth and in the following months and years, it did not really seem to be the best idea to make- for whatever it was worth. But then, when everything was over and my mouth was free from all the metals and screws, it finally kicked in that I made the right decision and I...
