My late canary, Coni, was born in my home on April 15, 2005, and passed away in my arms on February 23, 2020. Before taking his last breath, he sat up, kissed my cheek, and collapsed into my hand. I had prepared his grave and coffin months in advance. After his death, I immediately applied for a passport, booked a flight to Belgrade from Sabiha Gökçen Airport on March 31, 2020, for a visa-free trip to Serbia. I told my landlord I wouldn't be there next month, then the Corona pandemic started, and all flights were cancelled on March 16, 2020. My landlord had already found a new tenant, and since then I've traveled from city to city. For the first time on February 1, 2026, I settled in a city that suited my heart. I think this is the most beautiful place in Türkiye, but I was born to write. If I had the chance to settle in one of the civilized countries, I wouldn't hesitate for a minute. I would rather die in Australia, New Zealand, or elsewhere than live in Türkiye.👇🐦🐤
