  • This Is My Only Chance

    This Is My Only Chance

    Some people have no idea what it really means to live in the Middle East.Let me give you a simple but powerful example: imagine the spoiled child of a rich man. When you try to explain your struggles to him, he tells you that the reason you’ve failed is because you don’t believe in yourself.…

  • Those Who Invented the Airplane Deserve to Go to Heaven!

    Those Who Invented the Airplane Deserve to Go to Heaven!

    I wrote a blog post the day I got on a plane for the very first time.You might remember it.The experience was so mesmerizing that I couldn’t shake the feeling for weeks. A gigantic machine… flying through the sky.And it’s being controlled by a human being. That moment just before takeoff,when the engines suddenly roar…

  • A Journey That Hurt More Than It Healed

    A Journey That Hurt More Than It Healed

    I had volunteered to join a cultural trip organized by the local municipality to visit historical museums.I hoped it would be a meaningful experience — full of history, beautiful places, and maybe even new friendships with people my age from the same region. And at first, it was.At least on the first day.But the next…

  • The Girl Behind the Glass

    The Girl Behind the Glass

    When I try to divide my life into periods, I never struggle.Because in every stage of my life, I see myself looking out through a window. Before I started school, during those innocent years, I used to watch the neighborhood from the window.I watched other kids playing joyfully together.I was a child unaware of everything.All…

  • Forgotten Childhoods: Reflections After a Village Visit

    Forgotten Childhoods: Reflections After a Village Visit

    This is not an emotional lament. I want to speak about facts. Whether they taste like sorrow or sweetness, truth is often the sharpest medicine. Recently, I visited a family in a small village. The little girls I met there made me think. Maybe they weren’t even aware of it, but the helplessness they lived…

  • Being a Woman at the Foot of a Grave

    Being a Woman at the Foot of a Grave

    May 14, 2025 I have to write down what happened today.Because this isn’t just a story of a single day—it’s the embodiment of everything I’ve been silently carrying for years.And sadly, it came once again at the hands of people I know. The sun was already out when we set off. It was around 10…

  • Nobody cared

    Nobody cared

    Today, I have to write something important. Because something inside me is quietly breaking. Among all the thoughts spinning in my head lately, I’ve recognized a few emotions… Dangerous emotions. And to help you understand them, I need to take you back. Back to a little child. In middle school, I was—like always—introverted, overly emotional,…

  • A Skirt Shouldn’t Hurt This Much

    A Skirt Shouldn’t Hurt This Much

    This is not just a skirt. It’s hard to explain. But if I had to compress everything I’ve ever felt into a word, a photo, a single item—it would be this skirt. When I saw it, the emotions it stirred in me were unlike anything I had ever felt before. It became the embodiment of…

  • After the Dreams That Turned to Dust

    After the Dreams That Turned to Dust

    Time moves slowly in the village. Every morning, I wake up to the same view—stone walls, cracked roads, faces that never change. I feel trapped in a loop. I can’t move forward, and there’s nothing to go back to. The hours seem to grow heavier on purpose; every minute weighs on me like a burden.…
