I Didn’t Ask for Your Advice
There’s a recurring problem I face with almost everyone I meet:The moment I establish even the smallest connection, people suddenly start giving me advice—as if they know everything. And honestly?It’s unbelievably exhausting. Sometimes I want to talk about how much I love living alone, how it’s a beautiful chance to grow and become my own…

When I Was Your Age…”: The Inheritance of Silence
“When I was your age…”That phrase, more often than not, is not the voice of wisdom—but the echo of suppressed anger, denial, and quiet defeat.I was shaped by women who tried to erase me.Like a broken chain: you must break free from them,and yet, you carry their history within you. One day, my mother said,“When…

“To Be Seen as Small as a Bug
Sometimes a phobia isn’t just a fear. Sometimes, along with that fear, you’re belittled, mocked, excluded. Not just because you’re afraid—but because your fear is seen as “silly” or “unimportant.” My phobia of insects, especially cockroaches, is one of those things. They may be tiny, but the storm they cause inside me is enormous. Is…

Stop Justifying Abuse with Bloodlines
Let’s have a real conversation.I’m tired.Tired of people thinking that just because someone is “family,” they deserve unquestioning respect. That no matter what they do—how much they hurt you, ignore you, manipulate you—they’re automatically right, simply because they share your blood. Let me be clear: being family doesn’t give anyone the right to destroy your…

Poverty is only glorified when you’re helpless.
Understanding the meaning behind this sentence isn’t hard. Lately, I’ve been hearing—and for years have heard—a misconception that I now feel compelled to address. This idea is, unfortunately, very common in my region, especially among my family. Understanding how it formed and how it leads people to ruin is a matter worthy of academic discussion.…

I can’t recall the exact date, but I know I was in middle school. It was an experience I had never had before. I remember being filled with curiosity and anticipation. For the first time in my life, I was about to see people I’d never seen, doing things I couldn’t even imagine. I didn’t…

The First Time I saw Myself
It was February 2024, I think… The first time I bought women’s clothing for myself. Two skirts, two tops. One skirt looked like something a businesswoman would wear—structured, elegant, confident. The other was red, youthful, the kind of skirt a carefree girl would wear as it twirls. Two different versions of me folded into shopping…

Hard Days, Heavy Burdens, and chasing a dream
Hard Days, Heavy Burdens, and Chasing a Dream Lately, watching what’s happening in my country fills me with deep despair. Injustice is so blatant that people have started questioning the very concept of fairness. When the judiciary is not independent and the law serves only a select few, how can we trust the future? But…

What’s happening in my country ?
Problems have started to emerge in my country that frighten me and give me great fear for the future. The problems that already existed are now becoming more visible to the public. I am very angry with myself for not having managed to leave this country sooner. It will be very hard to live with…
