I have this love for Turkey that has gripped me so tightly. I fell for the man first who made me fall inlove with his country. I love the food, the culture, the language ( slowly trying to learn). I have desires to live in Turkey. The scenery of the country is gorgeous, fantastically gorgeous.
I can´t explain why I feel the way I do. I just do. All of a sudden, I´m aware of all things Turkish. From a person´s name, to travel channels. I greet in turkish even! It´s like Turkey is a man that I am infactuated with.
I can´t wait for my schedule to clear so I can finally visit the man (literally)and land of my dreams. I´m positively intoxicated.
Does anyone else feel the same? Or do I need to see a therapist !

I cannot stop learning Turkish? Any suggestions?

Here are some copied posts of mine:
Quoting MrX67 you can see the prints of it on songs,poems,and tunes easly,so traditional Turkish culture has very special way and difference from popular culture.and its really nice to smell a bit melancholy on everything for make stronger to feelings
(ME) "It´s quite the addiction for me, it´s confusing though I understand the soul of
it and it´s just beautiful. The most beautiful in the world to me the Turkish
language, people, land, culture....what a jewel."

Another copied post of mine:
"............When I was younger, the Turkish men would
wow me. As I got older, they seem still impressive with their big souls and
their big hearts, such sentimetal men, but it´s the language in which they use,
the land, the vegetation, their life...which makes them so addictive. They are
like a mild-jungle people, with were they live (how incredibly green and full of
live it seems there), and their language not to mention their cultural attitudes,
it´s a no wonder I´m so addicted to these people, my heart dies and lives with
each Turkish word. It fills with the pain a hard-life of a Turk can bring you and
a joy of their beauty. Someday, I will lose myself in Turkey. My soul likes it
above all of this world. It´s so obvious that magic, but it´s not very talked
about! ..................."
I understand you girl!

buhle1984, let me tell you that mental health is so cliché, do you really believe
in that bull? No, you do not need a therapist though you do need to fulfill your
calling and let no man, no person, nothing get in your way! It will set you back
greatly and ...perhaps...a greater appreciation will grow of Turkey if you do this.
This is from my experience. Let me guess, you have tried to fight it?
People so say, "Oh it is impossible that a non-turk can understand us " -
--Though we have souls which understand certain things for the souls different
fulfillments to be achieved. The worst worst worst thing to do is fight it!
Believe me, I have been for....four years...only. There is a destiny for you if
you are truly full of the wisdom of this magik.

This topic is very close to my heart, I´ve never been the same ever
since that one Turk...I believe in love, but it´s of course the only love their
is and it is a heartbreaking love. There is no such thing as a good love,
that´s why you fall in love, there is only painful love if it is true love.
Let me tell you, because I care if you are like me, that ...if you are looking
for your true love, don´t do it. Evet evet, I am the person to tell you not to,
because you will never be the same afterward. That´s if you are like me.

I give you all my prayers that you will accept that you have the
"Atatürk Syndrome"---because it´s well known that an overdose of Turkey
has killed him.
History books say that Mustafa Kemal Ataturk died from the effects of overindulgence in rakı. That is only partly true.
In fact he died from an overdose of Turkey. His involvement with Turkey,
like his involvement with rakı, was so passionate and so intense that it ultimately consumed him. The same almost happened to me. I had admired Turkey from afar, but it was only after long
nights drinking rakı with friends that I came to understand the true audacity
of the Turkish idea. Its grandeur and beauty filled me with awe.
My excitement rose with each glass as I realized how much Turkey has
to share with the world,
to give to the world,
to teach the world.

The woman is known for being the more emotional creature,and the male
the more logical one, in the majority of most studies/ yes I´m generalising.

This matter is close to my heart, and all I´m trying to say is this is your life,
your calling, your values on if it´s a journey you plan to take is up to you.
Looking forward to your post!

Reading your messages Faily, WOW!!! I have this huge smile on my face. You won´t believe it, but I already had Genis Doru Olsa on my phone. I have been scrounging around for turkish music on youtube.
I download lyrics, and sing along until I can pronounce it right. I am glad to say Turkish music is part of my bathroom ritual
I feel like the energizer bunny. I am working hard. I will get to turkey one day. Turkiye!!

Selaam to you,
I felt a slight trepidation at heart in comprehending fully your previous message and its tone. However, with a little more effort I have endeavored to seek clarification and have found it thus:
I have just finished reading all your posts and find myself short of adjectives to describe what I read. It seems there is much similarities in our journeys to this site.
There is much to be said but the ways are narrow as I find myself limited by the limitations of the language we use to converse in: English.
Possessing the ability to speak with various tongues gives one the ability to not only converse in anothers language but to secretly enter into their psyche, their thinking, their pain, their joys, their culture and their different ways of expressing life, and slowly you too start dreaming as they do and feel as they feel.
It is to that end I find, by meeting a certain Turkish person, I have opened a Pandoras Box of emotions and expressions, which at best is too difficult for me to close and at worse a nightmare to deal with. It seems that intoxicating vapours of the Turkish people and its culture have overpowered you also.
Our journeys to this magical land and people may have been different...but the roads were all the same, believe me when I say this.
My love for Turkey has taken me far and wide. Much of it is painful, but alot more of it melancholic and bittersweet. Alas, when all is said and done, it will always be the best thing I have ever chanced upon.
I will stop sounding so cryptic and end this message now.
There is a saying in Arabic..."words of the tongue only reaches the ears,...... but words of the heart ....reaches the hearts."
I hope you understand my un-understandable message.
Kandine iyi bak.

Selaam,
I feel a little reticent to call you Abla as that would automatically render you as my sister. However, I will do so as a Muslim.
Dear Abla, I have read alot of your posts and see that you have contributed immensely to the site (Allaha kebul etsiniz), to that end I wanted to mail you and request that should I need any help in translation or finding a certain turkish word I would be very grateful if you could help.
As I find your command of both the English and Turkish language to be of a high and commendable standard, which is rare amongst those I have come across. A prized commodity I am desirous of.
Tesekkurler for all the work you have done so far.
Allaha razi olsunuz,
Jannah_Male

Save your overstatements, jannah_male. I am a learner and really not capable of helping anyone. If I answer someone´s question in the forum it´s just my way to brush up my own knowledge and it has to be checked by the natives always.

Running hearts, always in a rush to discover.
Perhaps Turkish is not a path you want to discover.
Perhaps that battle-ground is not one you will wish to walk.
Because if you walk it for too long you will find unpleasant
discoveries and behold truths that are unwelcoming, in Turkey.
It´s not freedom to let a passion like that run you. Now to anyone who
has never felt or experienced it they will not know what I´m signifying here.
Though if you have felt it, it´s good but as I said do not walk the path for
too long. I took some days off from all my Turkish studies, no more Turkish
influence, music, etc...I actually felt souless at first like a part of me that´s
not me was gone though now actually I feel peaceful and may never have to
return to Turkey, the Turkish language, etc again. As I wrote before you
have to experience it to understand it, and then eventually run from it!
