Back in istanbul
I guess I don’t write as much as I wish I would but let’s see how I do recalling, I spent just over a month in Georgia, A trip I expected to be longer and purely focused on work. Instead, It was the opposite, I made friends early, Travelled the country, Swam in my 4th or 5th sea of the walk who’s even counting, Climbed a mountain, And fell for a woman I just met. I lived what for many would be completely abnormal, But for me it felt normal, Or at least different to the absurdity of my reality, There was a level of consistency that was unfamiliar and beautifully refreshing. I’d want to write about so much but most important to me were the people I met, At the centre of which was a woman, Wow what a woman. I often imagine myself to be the type of person that covers the corner of the table, I never expected to find someone who calms the shakiness of my leg, Someone who I cherished every moment with, What a woman. I guess I said that already haha. By now she’s a memory, But then she was a wonderful cocktail of adventure, laughter, joy and depth. The friends all remarkable people, Luka an incredible boxer and better person, Saba the quiet friend - but when he speaks it’s moving, Kosti and Tamta - a mistake that was not a mistake wonderful people, Adela sestra picha with so much love to the joy she could bring to any room even when exhausted, Jachim and Nicole a young couple with such a good energy, And finally moj princezna Radka - I don’t have words for they’d fail to do our experiences justice. The country of Georgia, Remarkable, A mix of Balkan energy, Western European commercialism and a orthodox Christianity, A beautiful mix though I will admit the food was good until I got tired of everything being bread 😅 I spent a month travelling the country, With friends from different parts of the world, Different groups for every stage and I loved all of it. I wish to never forget my time there or the people I met. Now I’m back in Istanbul, Sat by the south sea of Fatih, In a calm state, Still reminiscing on what reality was just a week ago, Calculating what the next steps will be, Wondering if the future, Still broke but who cares it’ll figure itself out, I just need to get there, The universe will figure the rest out. Swae out, And I’ll see you when I see you
