Some more words from Didem

Dear Carina,

I wrote the letter below three days ago but could not send it before. Writing letters, motivations, proposals, questions, philosophical concepts, imaginations, stories, metaphors in order to walk my path and also to find a safer place in another land. And/but at the same time waiting for an earthquake, coronavirus, the war right next to me… I know that I should have sent you that letter, just as I now know that I should immediately write to you. You are walking towards and through an unknown, uncanny. Your body is probably getting tired each day, but you keep walking. Meanwhile, I am extremely exhausted and still did not give up because of the weirdly strong utopia of mine, and beautiful people in my life.

For the last two hours, social media platforms are banned in Turkey, and I cannot access to any information, I can but I cannot. But I can write you a letter.
