Story Writing

I didn’t write anything for a while, and it started to affect me. I felt anxious and tired. This morning, I woke up and said to myself, “You haven’t written anything for a while.” My inner Serra was signaling something. I opened this blank page and began to pour out whatever came to myContinue reading “Story Writing”

Feeling Free

The Guest House This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes As an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still treat each guest honorably.Continue reading “Feeling Free”

Blue Jasmine in My Hair

It was my birthday. It was so crowded that some of us were standing. There was plenty of food and also a big chocolate cake that I love very much. It was the perfect cake for an occasion like this, celebrating something special. As I wrote, it was one of my most special days. IContinue reading “Blue Jasmine in My Hair”

Being Content

For the first time, I started a piece by creating the illustration first. This post has a different flow than before in terms of how my ideas formed. I was sitting and thinking about my life while looking at the view. There were trees, waves in the sea, and a glass of iced coffee inContinue reading “Being Content”

The main idea came to me while I was swimming in the sea. A wave came,Continue reading “What are you aligned with?”

While I was enjoying my calm Sunday evening, I heard a few lines from the program that made me ask myself: “Am I procrastinating in life?” It was one of the smallest but most meaningful moments of my day.Continue reading “A Sunday Evening”

Balance

I recently started doing stretches every day. During one of the moves, I did something I hadn’t done in a long time—looking at the ceiling. Although I’ve practiced yoga and Pilates in the past, the move itself wasn’t new to me, but the feeling was. I felt peaceful and present. That moment inspired me toContinue reading “Balance”

The Rare Yellow Penguin

My inspirations come from nature. Sometimes, I see a very colorful flower; sometimes, a beautifully simple, single-colored bird. What inspires me is their connection to nature. I think I have more nature photos than pictures of people on my phone. Last year, I saw a rare yellow penguin for the first time. It was yellow!Continue reading “The Rare Yellow Penguin”

2025-First Post

Hi, What makes people authentic? Their habits, ways of self-expression, or points of view? I think all of the above, along with other things, make a person authentic. I opened this blog site to express myself better and use my unique sides. The reason I stopped writing was due to changes in life events andContinue reading “2025-First Post”

Writing and Creating Something New

The more you write, the easier it becomes to continue. I am trying to write a post, and it is very hard for me to create the flow that I want. You should see my Pages document—it is so crowded with many different ideas. 📖 Even though it hasn’t been that long since I startedContinue reading “Writing and Creating Something New”
