Hi,
I think now everybody knows that I hate my life in İstanbul. Not because İstanbul is not cool. It is cool, my life is supposed to be cool; however, I am not the person to live that life which has many responsibilities. After six months of travelling, no way to live longer like that.
Please think of my last 3 months here. I arrived to İstanbul and started the big chaos of classes. Then I had to apply for the job announcements. Because I was living in the dormitory temporarily because I didnt want to live in the dorm but to rent a flat. I didnt ask many people around me. I was thinking that I will just find a room in a flat where the other were already living. However, it didnt happen so; the life is such a desicion maker so we became flatmates with an ex-erasmus friend of me and her friend.
In the beginning of October, I was going crazy like, going to job interviews, looking for a flat, going to classes, etc. I used to like a guy whom I met in Antalya and the destiny again decided not to allow us to know each other and one day after spending the whole day looking for a flat, getting wet under the rain, not eating anything, then going to my date in the evening...The result is a disaster or disappointment.
Whatever, then we have found a nice flat, very nice area, close to everywhere. Guess what happened: We couldnt move in for a months because there were bueracratic obstacles such as WATER...
Because there was not any water we couldnt clean the flat, we couldnt move in.It was tragic.I could hardly afford the rent and I couldnt live in my flat.Then We dealt with it and moved in. Then what happened? The smallest and shapeless room was mine after a lot among us. I was so sad but it is ok now:)
Then what happened strange in my life was to be very close neighbours with a friend of me who was staying with his girlfriend there. By this way we had the chance to meet often. Then his girlfriend broke up with him and we spent nearly two weeks nearly altogether. We were too different as a person; however, I liked the serenity on him, and i guess I was very interesting and different for him. Now he moved to the other side and I dont think that nothing will be the same.
I started tutoring four days at a week. I have been working one and a half day in a tourism office. One full day I spent at my tranee school. Three days at a week I have classes from 9 till 6.
So, I was kind of losing my mind, however there were my crazy weekends. During the week, I barely found the time to breathe, then at the weekends, I was partying crazily.
However now, I dont like partying either. I like the serenity in my room, dealing with stuff at my flat, reading travel books, or surfing on internet, watching tv or movies.
I am totally different from past years. My problems are also totally different. I do have many friends this year I dont know how. I remember in the past years I was feeling lonely often. Now, I need to be lonely! To stay alone makes me happy. May be I am not lonely most of the time that's why I enjoy it.
In those 3 months I have experienced a lot of both nice and unliked coincidences. Yes. I love coincidenced in general; however, I never thought that there could be also bad coincidences. Now I know.
My life is going out of my control, literally.
I hate the fact that I have to work to live in İstanbul, because I fucking like all luxury. I hate that feature of me. I eat expensive, I drink expensive, I wear expensive ( even though nowadays I even couldnt have time to shop).
If I am staying in İstanbul, I demand free time to have an activity for me such as a dance course or theatre course. I'd love to do those!
However, I want most to RUN AWAY!
I am worried of myself actually, it seems to me one day will come and I will just decide to go away. Without knowing where, with which money, and without completing my university education. Please God, show the right way. Or else i have been drifting. I need to travel. I dont have enough money to go to Beirut however, I think i am going there. During the break. I need to travel.
Ohh, I need the patience to live here one more semester. Or even more:( I need to run away at least next year even though the destination will still be Europe. However, I love Spain and the fact that I will learn Spanish make me very happy and optimistic. I need to find a way to go there!
I JUST NEED TO TRAVEL!
Look how happy I used to be:
My smile is not the same any more.
I am going to sleep 2-3 hours then I have to go to my trainee school.
Have a nice life world citizens.
Xoxo
