List life's happy moments

Being back in Eskişehir for our Ramadan Holiday though I didn’t miss it at all.
The rainy/gloomy Sunday.
Cold weather.
To have nothing to do.
Listening to this song again and again since I woke up.

Finding my very first crush (whom I was never able to get over) from facebook. [In the past we were together for like one week and it was the most unforgettable summer crush of my life, also the very first.]

Learning that he lives in Ankara.

Starting to date with him :D

^{I should write a letter to the 13 y/o Didem and tell her that she shouldn’t worry and should dry her eyes and just wait about 7 years :D}

Life is so dazzling.

• Receiving the cutest postcard from very beloved Emilia :)

^{What a sweeeet postcard is this! And oh the lovely pair of those doors!! This girl really knows what I like :) Thank you Emilia for putting that huge smile on my face today, you are sweeeeet <3}

• Tomorrow
  is the first page of the new chapter of my life.

I’m offically and literally moving to Ankara tomorrow!
I’m feeling really complicated things right now.
I’m excited and I’m scared.
I’m happy, cause I’ve waited for this moment for my entire life and dreamed of becoming a METU student, But I’m sad that I’m leaving my parents’ house (also my beloved room&bed + beloved city etc.) and going to a city of 3.5 millions!!

I’m also really afraid of being dissapointed about METU, cause I wanted to be there for so long. And the METU that I created in my mind can be way different from the real METU.

But well… Things will be ok. I’ll figure them out hopefully! Or at least it’s not time to worry,

It’s time to embrace the things that tomorrow will bring and also time to get out my aquarium and see the real ocean!

May all the powers of universe be with me!

^{P.S: Sorry for the bad quality of the photo, but this is the best I could right now since everything is packed :-/}
