A question I have been thinking for a long time —yet I don’t have an answer to it. I don’t know if I should have an answer, or what direction my life will take in a couple of months. Human minds are constructed in a way that uncertainty and unknown are whatever scares you the most+1. Here I will try to make peace with this, stepping out of my comfort zone by opening the door a little on stuff makes me frustrated, happy or just —more confused.
I will be posting in two languages, Turkish and English. I feel like I can express myself sometimes better in English and other times in Turkish so this fits well into the idea of the blog itself. Speaking of the idea, I have close to no experience with writing but I always considered myself someone who likes writing -even though I don’t write-, excuse me if it goes way experimental and often grammatically incorrect.
House or Home? was born in my mind, during an exercise of an intercultural workshop where participants were asked to draw a house. And one person stood up and asked the facilitator “Would you like us to draw a house or a home?” Until that moment I haven’t really thought there is a difference between a house and a home since in Turkish there is only one word for both of them but for another person it was two different things. This leads me to think about my experiences, I clearly not always lived in a home but a house. A little wave of shock came in, at the same time some things lightened up for me. Here, I would like to talk about my experiences: to share something from me, from the “somewhere in between” and probably many Turkish expressions.
A little about me...
after having a home for 18 years, one day I didn’t and still don’t have a home. Moving around for the past 2 years looking for something, trying to find what I love while answering the same questions over and over. Where are you based? Where are you from? Are you going home after…? but in the end, what / where is home?
