“In fact no one recognizes the happiest moment of their lives as they are living it.
It may well be that, in a moment of joy, one might sincerely believe that they are living that golden instant "now," even having lived such a moment before, but whatever they say, in one part of their hearts they still believe in the certainty of a happier moment to come.
Because how could anyone, and particularly anyone who is still young, carry on with the belief that everything could only get worse: If a person is happy enough to think he has reached the happiest moment of his life, he will be hopeful enough to believe his future will be just as beautiful, more so.”
― Orhan Pamuk, The Museum of Innocence
We traveled to Istanbul in October 2019 to celebrate my dear friend's birthday.
I quess that was one of those journeys where you step out of the plane and feel at home.
One of the days we took a ferry to Prince Islands.
And then I saw a place from my dreams.
And I fell in love with the idea of it.
One day I'll get back there.
Eventually.
with people like us our home is where we are not
