GÖKÜ'DEN NOTLAR

For the beginning... ''If the daylight breaks and you're still miles away You should move into cover''   3/4/21 Copenhagen/Denmark   Spring has arrived. Denmark is greener. It is full of sunshine and bird songs right now. We have been longing to see these spring forerunners for a long time... I would like to start with this song above. In a way, it reflects my inner world, so, literally poignant and utterly unique to me. It's been eight months since I arrived here, without a visit to my home country. It sounds quite a long time. After my experience in Germany, which lasted five months, I have now expanded my maximum period of living abroad. As I see, it comes by time. I hadn’t imagined that I would be in this situation. It was beyond my expectations , but here we are: I am walking in the reality of my dreams. What life brings us is impressive.  This journey has started to change me gradually. I am reforming. It is as if something is brewing inside me. It i...

Here is a song for the beginning... 13.10.20 Spoettrup/Denmark I've always believed in love and its chance to continue till the end of life. At first, it will probably sound childish, but on the contrary, I believe it is a very mature thing. It requires many personality traits, such as the capability to love and stand by someone, the ability to show tolerance and respect and to be patient. Surely, we also need to be a little bit lucky somehow... Because maybe love is everywhere -you know this cliché- but love is a subtle thing at the same time, so the existence of love is not enough to live it. :)) Sorry... No doubt, love has so many forms in the world. To be honest, when I started to write this essay , my main purpose was to talk about romantic love only from a very romantic perspective, but right now, I am totally aware of the romantic love shared by two (or more?) people is just one of the innumerable forms of love. You can love your pet or your plants. You can feed them with l...

A very soft song  from Aphex Twin   for the beginning. 26/09/20 Vedersoe/Denmark 04.10.20 As you can see, Denmark is mostly cloudy. This weather was not usual for me until I started to live here. Coming from a Mediterranean country (moreover from the West!), I sometimes miss the sunshine. I think I will get used to it in time.  These days, I fully feel the autumn; fallen leaves, mizzling rain, circulating warm wind around, and Halloween time coming soon... Nature is yawning and completing the last preparations to sleep. Denmark is a super silent country, let's say ''peaceful'' -if you can feel it this way-. I guess it will be more silent in wintertime. People will spend their time at home with their families. Sounds pretty. :) Maybe one day, I will be able to do so in Denmark too. Who knows?.. It is a totally cosy portrait for me. Come to mention cosy, I would like to talk about ''hygge''. It is the most popular habit in Denmark culture. Danes love i...

3/9/20 Vorupoer/Denmark A song   from  Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds People always say that “People hurt”, “People are bad, rude and unreliable (and more)”. But as far as I see, people saying this can do it without any hesitation when it's their turn. Is this revenge??!  We will probably be all dead in 60 years and while we are getting older, from time to time we will feel like a stranger in this world because time will grab our beloved ones from us. A nd this feeling will give us a bitter grief. When we look from this perspective, there is no  meaning to wasting life. Of course, wasting life has different meanings for each person. Then, what is my meaning? It is a big question and probably I cannot answer it properly.  Anyway, I can still try... T his result has been created by too many reasons coming together, no doubt about it, but I don't want to get lost in details.  When you have a partner, a wife, or a husband who loves you dearly, to cheat this pers...

  19/09/20 Aabenraa/Danimarka  Not. ''Hiçbir şey umurumda değil diyorum/ Aşktan ve umuttan başka'' -Turgut Uyar Şiirin tamamı için.. Taze gün taze kahve  taze bir arkadaşlık başlıyor. güneşli havalar gülümseten anlar taze bir yaşamda,   taze duygular uyanıyor. ona, sevgi demek istiyorum.

Here is a song from Hümeyra for the be ginning.   Not to rush about love has been perfectly expressed in her words: ''Bir köşede durup dinlenir gibi acelesiz ve rahat sevmeyi N asıl anlatsam?''     eng.   How can I best explain to love somebody in a leisurely and undisturbed mode as if  you are resting in some corner?   After so many years I am learning to be patient about lots of things. Having gone through countless events, I became a more mature and patient person. There should be a meaning to bitter experiences, shouldn’t there? My experiences taught me to wait -if you can- because generally this process brings valuable and much better results than your expectations. There is something magical in this. I said generally, because cosmic system doesn't always work in a good way :). Still, at least trying to be resilient and patient, when bad things happen or wait for something good to happen, is a wise attitude. It makes you a contender and ...

25/08/2020    Skive/Denmark    22.08 My first week in Denmark is almost finished, and I am so happy to be here. I am (contrary to   the   song ) 1,676 miles away   from home. I keep this sentence in my mind, it sounds special to me: ''Home is where you make it''. Totally true!.. In my opinion, starting to create a life from scratch is something more powerful and important for one's personal development. In the following sections, I am going to tell you why I think like this. In the book, which I am currently reading,  Women  Who Run With the Wolves ,  the writer tells about the feeling of belonging somewhere in the sixth chapter and she gives an advice about a necessity: Try to explore new places to feel that you belonged there. That's why I am here... To feel free, resilient and contented. Actually, all I want is self-discovery and self-fulfillment.  25.08 Another day... W hile it's raining,  I am current...
