Officially entering my last week in here, Istanbul, Turkey, my country, where I went to college, lived in 5 different dorm rooms and 3 apartments, lived for 10 years, and where I thought I might be living my whole life. Apparently, that wasn't the case. But then I also I always thought I would have an unhappy and boring marriage, and I have the opposite (I have a thing for worst case scenarios). Even though I've always loved it here, or it was bearable for some reason or the other, I also wanted a change. I wanted to experience something different and foreign, counter-intuitive almost. And now it's happening. And instead of questioning or doubting it, I'm embracing it. It's a good feeling.

My favorite shapes are pear and marquise. Therefore the ring of the last photo I found to be a dear. Lovely placement really.
I have to confess though, for me it was more the stone. I felt that this little stone which is so ever-lasting, actually embodies my temporariness, my uniqueness. There will be a 1:1 mapping between us as long as I live. And then it will not be mine anymore. It will be mine one and only though, even if it gets lost, stolen or if I pass it to someone else.
So how long are you going to keep looking Pelin?
