what are the special days for? why do we feel like giving presents on those days or why do we expect? is it all about the money, the beauty of the present or is it actually serving a more emotional and sentimental idea,the meaning, the thought… is it better to buy something to someone or make something from scratch or create something? well, unfortunately in this modern world, we are evaluating the presents with their monetary values, i’d personally rather getting a poem written for me or a picture drawn to explain how happy you are to be with me, or just a letter to explain your feelings. they would go with me forever unlike a piece of material. ok, let me explain thoroughly, no matter  who you are, either a darling or a friend, just do something that shows the work you have done, the time you have spent and the feelings you have towards me. please don’t give a gift card or don’t take out for a dinner, write a letter at least, be creative. if you can’t, well, you can also buy something but try something that could have more sentimental value than its price, buy cheap stuff, maybe not one but a couple of small presents to show that you really spent your precious time for finding something, thought about multiple stuff that could make me happy… cuz it is supposed to be one of my happy days…

sometimes we see the red flags in our life and although we know how to beware of them, we just cannot achieve. it is a really a frustrating situation since you know even the worst decision is sometimes better than being indecisive at all. well red flags everywhere; in our relationship, at work, at school, basically in life. however sometimes we cannot even see them and somebody has to show us, well this doesn’t work every time cuz we still don’t wanna see then and blame the person trying to help us. what happens next; regrets sometimes big enough to mess you up, sometimes not very hard to recover. now i’m telling you the solution, i know even if you see your feelings are governing your all body and don’t wanna react for them but at least take necessary precautions for less damage for your own goodness…

i think this is a little bit of an old topic but this picture is from a fashion show arranged on the World AIDS Day on Dec 1st .  well you can easily understand the  what those little balloons are. the irony here is, to me, while everybody is talking about aids and using condoms, it is very rare to hear about having only one partner or not cheating as well as prostitution and one night stands. i can only see one reason behind that, almost all of the vices are nearly publicly accepted and we just want to convince people to put on a rubber and this is most probably only told by the strangers. now think about that, you are one of the supporters or protesters, depends on how you call the people gathering to show their opinion about aids in the arenas on that day, well, you actually don’t even know who you are trying to give the message, because nobody wants to take it on. you even tell it publicly but you can tell that to your partner assuming people around you are so naive. don’t get me wrong, i’m not against that day myself and i believe it still gives very strong messages to the people and it is also a public health issue, but isn’t there a little bit of an irony about what is going on?

one picture is worth a thousand words… visual sources are the best means of information exchange, being able to express feelings is easier when you show just a picture, sometimes it is almost impossible to be able to express the real meaning but pictures doesn’t give analytical data, everybody gets what they want to. it is sometimes misdirected by their mood or current feelings, or depends on the perspective they are looking at, but still, all of those meaning are in the picture. that’s why pictures have many faces, always show you what you wanna see…

 there is one small city where nobody knows if they never need to, but the ones who suffer from psoriasis disease know very well. those incredible fish type which happens to live only in that waters, in this city, sucks the disease out of your skin in just a limited time frame, they don’t even have any teeth, they lick the plaque that causes the skin disease and they seem like they enjoy to be fed with that. personally, i’ve never been there but my friends have, what they told me is incredible as fish, although you don’t have psoriasis, they come and try to find some delicious plaques on your skin and suck them out of you, you feel the refreshment right after you get out of the pool if you can leave the tingling and relaxing little doctors around you :)

respect…

there must be lots of definitions for respect and also lots of types to think about, some comes with obligation, some comes with love, some comes as a must to live. lack causes problems, makes life impossible. being always hidden in the mutual relationships, it is actually something we never think about but automatically do and when we don’t we lose, lose our jobs, lose our friends and relationships. self respect is also as important as the others where lack of it degrades your personality, makes you inconsistent and  starts corrupting your life. then what is the degree for this respect issue? how much to have, where to stop? well, priorities comes into consideration in that aspect, the question must be who deserves how much, which is my priority, what do i want more? decisions are always a part of our life and this is a vital one.

well, you know who those guys are, but there is a irony behind it. they have always been as their shirts, red and white, two completely different color, two completely different meaning… they have no similar points other than the dislike against imperialism. now there comes a very famous saying in our mind “my enemy’s enemy is my friend”

politics is word coming from ancient greeks. the real version of this word is poli-tika meaning many-faces… now you can see how true this word is for the current situation…

love…

if you ever read my previous posts, i’ve posted some of the poems written by RUMI. i think all of them were about love, but there is something very important here, the love that RUMI talks about is not the love towards your partner, it is towards any creature, it is towards the design of the all creatures, it is actually towards the designer of the creatures. he simply states his thoughts in this saying “The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.” however, although RUMI himself is a strong believer of islam, his sayings, beliefs and philosophy are universal.

this picture explains his universal philosophy very well and it complements with his famous saying:

Come, come, whoever you are.

Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.

It doesn’t matter.

Ours is not a caravan of despair.

Come, even if you have broken your vow

a hundred times.

Come, yet again, come, come.

current mood…

I feel so tired, not only today but nowadays. Sometimes I just feel like I’m getting older and cannot deal with the problems I used handle pretty easily or I’m more aggressive . Aren’t we supposed to be less aggressive and understanding by the time? That makes me think more and I guess it is not about getting older but the emotional tiredness. Sometimes I feel like I should give up running in this marathon, yes it is called a marathon, because you know your body can handle it as long as you are concentrated on and still have the will power. That’s the problem; I don’t really know weather I have that power or not, anymore. I might need serious help, I used to be my own doctor all the time, which I still can be, but mind and heart challenges are keeping away from giving healthy decisions. I wish everything was different…
