veliko tarnovo

it should be known that with experience comes learning and with learning comes the thirst for more experience. some experience, however, we look back on not in regret or pride in how close we came to the edge yet with a respectful amount of perspective that without these experiences we would not be the same today. they give us smile lines and creases beneath our eyelids. they leave us questioning if we will ever wake up in the morning or ever fall asleep again. they have their place and we pack them in our backpacks to share with one another when we sit down at the same feast.

bulgaria is rad. way rad. we made it to Велико Търново yesterday evening and we'll probably end staying here another night before going back to istanbul. i dont know if i ever would have chanced upon this place had it not been for my living situation in the heart of deep south eastern europe.. well technically deep west asia now, when i return i'm finally moving into my new place of dwelling in Kadıköy. i'm happy today. happy to be breathing clear and happy to be in the cold. i think i'll have a new take on turkey when i get back, the story is starting to get interesting.
