İt is not as it seems

Istanbul Is A City That Releases All Dreams

I am old and I see people coming from places or going to others. I am alive, I hurt, I feel and I breathe the same air as all those things, those people, those places… This is an impersonal journey through a background of lives, an urban mystery.

What can be seen, whom can be met, what can be done. The confusion and the excitement of a moment fossilize themselves in a dream, a long and wavy dream. At times, it is cluttered up with people to meet, places to go and things to see. At other times, it is brilliant, and fast and risky. It feels like it’s not the same anymore, I have lost a feeling, I have forgotten somebody, somewhere.

But I am not worried, I discover new feelings when I am detached, this is how I live and resist through evolution. It’s easy this way, I don’t need to attract people, they come to me. I don’t think about places to go, I am already there. I am the queen of those waters and the guardian of these gates.

The air is filled with memories; contrasted with threatening dark clouds, like the ones you see just before a storm, a butterfly flutters around, unaware of its mortal future, like in a dream, scattering away the reality.

I am a book of stories about people. I have seen many battles and many sultans, many bridges have been built on my rivers. Sometimes Ilikes them, sometimes I don’t, and I get rid of them. I am controversial, maybe because Iam neither an entrance or an exit. I am in-between or on top of many worlds. I can’t decide and for some reasons, I never could.

I am İstanbul, in all my splendour and harshness.
