Yuva

A short introduction to the blog for the random visitor

Hello - I write entirely in Turkish on this blog, but if you are curious, and feel a bit lost inside this nest made of unknown words for you, I will give you some information about my blog and myself (and hopefully, you will be able to see why I don't prefer writing in English haha)


Languages

Turkish, French, English - I'm more inclined to write in my mother tongue, which is turkish, and until this year, I used to have an emotional bond with French, I use it sometimes for reading French books in their original language or for searching information (searching in other languages always gives a different perspective on the subject) - and also for contents such as videos and podcast.

I'm actually trying to let go of my obsession about French.

English is my third language, I never use it besides internet, but from this year on, I'll have to read more in English, as I'm starting a master's degree. (maybe I'll try to write in English on my blog ? If I do, I might share them on this page)


Name and content

Yuva means "home" or "nest", I like this little word, It sounds dreamy and it felt like a perfect name when I first started this blog. I'm writing about daily subjects I think about, it's some sort of a "collage" I make with words. I take different times and different emotions, dream and reality and I put them in the same sentence. I'm afraid it might sound a little bit crazy and emotional when you read them but it's okay because I have very little visitors. And I'm afraid to share those with people I know in real life, obviously.

My role models (on writing) are Sei Shonagon and Kenko (!). I'd like to become an essayist one day, in a very far future.

Goasdjfk I couldn't write this much clearly in Turkish. I always find that introducing yourself and your work in a foreign tongue is much more easier to do. Should I totally switch to English ?.. I'm seriously starting to think about it right now.


About me

I'm a 25 years old Turkish muslim human being regarded as an individual. (I have to mention the fact that I'm muslim, because it's a whole culture and makes a big part of who I am, and how I think - and even what I eat).

I studied mathematics for teaching in elementary and middle schools (which I deeply regret, but It's a long story) for 4 years. After three years of desperately trying to run from my fate, but always crashing on the same wall (hah ! so your religion didn't help you !), I finally applied for a master's degree on sociology of education. (in the meantime, I studied French language and literature for one semester, but couldn't bear it anymore - learned some latin at least which is cool)

I don't really like this part of my life, It makes me feel weak, and I hate weakness. (Dwight Schrute vibesasdjkf)

Oh and I can still laugh, how lovely.

By the way, I'm a big fan of Pride and Prejudice, I even have the special edition dvd's but can't run them for a reason (oversharing).


My intentions about this blog

I first started with the idea of making a "digital garden" because I loved the concept when I first found about it. Right now, It's very far away from what I first wanted to do, I don't plan on anything, I just add a little bit every two or three days (or well, I suppress) and I mostly write intuitively about my days and my emotions, rather than sharing knowledge.

I'll continue to bring little branches of words to make this place a warm, cozy place of my own, and maybe yours if you'd wish.

That's all for now !
