Hello everyone. This is the first one without a draft before. I want to write and stay here from now on. I have many plans and being consistent is one of them here. So far, I did not feel that I got everything arranged for that but I just wanna say “it is time” instead of feeling unsuccessful. (yeah I do feel the second version but a wise man said “Be kind to yourself” before sleep and, I am trying to listen to wisdom. Hope it will work.

We got a huge earthquake and many of them later. I am not one of those people who lived there and are still struggling with them. Our place will get this too, geologists say. I felt afraid, upset, angry. Guilty.

I felt guilty at any point that I felt good. I have a warm bed now, I have hot soup to drink now, I have my people now. I did not even realize them much. No one does, usually.

Many of them could not even feel that they are alive. Waiting for people to get them for so long time, in the middle point of nowhere.

this sucks. no one deserves a middle point.

whatever we do, we need more. they will need more.

the point is, the people who suffered and still suffering, are not guilty or poor. They lost everything in seconds. They were just like us. No one would like to lose their home.

I do not want to lose my house. No one does.

If you live anywhere where it is possible to have an earthquake, please apply for the places to get your house tested.
If you can donate, in any way, your time your effort, your money, your food or clothes or tent, just do it. To the approved correct addresses.

If you can hug someone near you right now, just do this and try to start your thing. It does not make us better when we seem or feel worse and more upset. We have to work and do our things for ourselves, and also protect ourselves from them in the long run. This is something we all need and it is not one week period. Kids should know that their new friends in the class will not be able to participate in games. They should not insist on or force these new friends. Or questions might hurt. They might hurt kids and adult people. The ones you are gonna meet at work, in places; they are gonna have a big struggle.

We should be good and we should help each of us. especially kids. They are just so pure and innocent. They need much.

Having a toy can be a big need.

We felt the importance of that in the late days. Tonight we got a different kind of night during a football match of my team Beşiktaş. I feel proud of my people. It was a soft toy rain tonight. For these children.

Çocuklar hep gülsün: May the Children Smile Always

Take care of yourself, for me, for you, for everyone.

We all suffer.

we are bigger together.
we are better together.
high tight and do not leave your arms.
we are gonna make everything better.

Also, please,
Be kind to yourself.
