Quote by Mehmet Murat Ildan

“Sometimes an invisible hand touches your life; you plan to travel to the east but you go to the west; you plan to meet someone but you meet someone else; you plan to fly in the sky but you crawl on the ground! And this invisible hand is what makes this life mystical!”

Every scroll and click is another lesson in this new language of identity, where being has been replaced by buying.

“I took a deep breath. “I don’t want to marry Henri. I want to marry Eikko.” “Who?” “Erik. His translator. I’m in love with him, and I want to marry him. And even though he hates having his picture taken, I want to take a thousand so I can put him on my wall and wake up to us laughing every day, just like you do with Mom. And I want him to make me doughnuts, just like his mom does for his dad. Even if I have to let out all my dresses. And I want us to find our own thing or maybe find out that our own thing is everything, because I feel like if I have him, even the stupid stuff would matter.”
