So... I Didn't Move to Vienna After All!

İstanbul, Türkiye



Hello fellow bloggers!


After years of tip-toeing around the internet and life in general, I’ve decided to resume blogging today.


In the past, I held back from blogging because I was afraid of not being perfect—worried that what I had to say or what I was going through at the time wasn’t "good enough." But here’s the truth: no one has the perfect answer to anything. Life is messy, unpredictable, and that’s exactly what makes it beautiful. And so, I’ve chosen to embrace my life as the beautiful mess it is.


Things didn’t go according to the plan I had for my younger self. I didn’t end up moving to Vienna as I once dreamed. Instead, I spent three unforgettable months as an intern there before returning home, graduating from university, and then, as we all know, the Covid-19 pandemic hit. After months of isolation, I started working full-time as an attorney—and I’m still in that role today. Along the way, I’ve made important decisions, met amazing new people, started learning new languages, and discovered new hobbies.


As I jump back into the world of blogging, I’m excited to share everything—from personal anecdotes and reflections to book recommendations, travel stories, recipes, and even everyday encounters.


So, here’s to new beginnings! Stay tuned for more posts, and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments—I’d love to hear what you’ve been up to as well.


Until next time!
