    Hi Zerlyna!

    I really appreciate you commenting to check on me. It honestly made me feel very cared for and I’m immensely grateful - thank you!

    I’m very happy to report that life has gotten a lot better since I made this post.

    1. I stopped talking to and caring about my ex. When the relationship ended, I felt like I woke up in a new world which I hated at first, but now I’ve grown to love it.

    2. I made a very close friend. I used to think I could never trust anyone this deeply again. But it turns out I met a new person and we care about each other a lot. I really enjoy every exchange we have and I’m so glad that the feeling is mutual.

    3. I can hardly believe it - but I have a crush (a different person than 2). Like 2, she’s also someone I met recently and our daily conversations are so fun and effortless. I’m expecting a no when I ask her out, but that’s okay! Merely knowing that I’m capable of these feelings again shocked me.

    4. I’d been talking about interpersonal improvements so far, but for myself, I realized that I don’t care about spending the rest of my life here anymore. I need to go on an adventure. I feel like I’m finally able to focus on spending the time I’ve been given on this earth on my own journey.

    To summarize, I think I’m finally learning the art of letting go and I’m building up meaningful relationships.

    That’s enough yapping from me! I almost feel bad for talking this much about myself. I’m sorry to hear about your bad day. Please feel free to share if there is anything on your mind, you are always welcome to . If you’d rather not, that’s just as fine and I genuinely hope that positive things are just around the corner for you too. Thanks again for your check-in and good wishes, I genuinely appreciate you a lot and wish you just the same.

    I asked my friend from Morocco. He says the cat is asking for mouse flavored “Jumbo”. Jumbo is a brand of stock cubes which normally come in flavors like beef, chicken or lamb. The shopkeeper replies “que” in Spanish which means “what?”














  • Thank you for sharing our history 💜 Kurdistan is one of the most progressive places in the Middle East. No one in my family told me what god to believe in if any. My parents taught me values of feminism, human rights and peace, and I see the same values shared by my siblings and cousins in Europe. Of course there are problems, but as my parents taught me, take from our culture what is good and do better than the things we did wrong. Long live Kurdistan!






  • Of course it should be optional, no one said it should be mandatory

    I made the distinction because English and French were mandatory at my school in Germany. Many more languages were offered though if they had a teacher available. I remember Spanish, Italian and Chinese, I just can’t remember if Turkish was one of them.

    I feel like the defensiveness of that argument is not entirely accidental.

    My family is Kurdish, so I admit that maybe there’s a subconscious bias when learning Turkish comes up, if you know anything about the situation in Turkey and Kurdistan 🙂

    as if learning french in school would be relevant to the migration of germans to france.

    French skills are extremely valuable to Germans who want to work in Switzerland or Luxembourg

    Btw, ben de biraz türkçe biliyorum, ama çok konuşmiyorum… in my daily life 😅 Dunno how to say that last part

    “let me know what you think”

    I think your advice is very obvious and too specific to your situation. The section about what kind of person you should be isn’t relevant.

    One useful nugget of information in your post is that your local library may offer services beyond borrowing books.

    Sorry, if you have good intentions I appreciate you sharing what you think is helpful. But you asked for comment so I’m explaining the downvotes.
