Oi Hivers!

Just checking in with you all.

Good call, son.So, I finally got to see my good friend @burcucelik after 6 months again. The past days have been pretty much exhausting lol! I first rented a cheap airbnb and the experience was pretty... special. It was really something, but glad I got to experience that as well. After 2 nights of no sleep (really no sleep), the dumbass inside my head thought it would've been a good idea to book it in one of the crowdiest streets of Izmir lol.

But finally, I made it to my friend Burcu, which makes me feel a lot safer :P. I bought a one-way ticket to clear my head, and to recharge my batteries after a period of heavy shit I'm not going to bore you with. She instantly insisted without any hesitation that I'd come visit her and relax for once. But just to let you guys know I'm still alive, I thought I'd share an incredible view of the apartment that I'm staying at. Not bad... not bad at all!

I felt a bit sick earlier today, probably because the trip was draining me in combination with no sleep and the heat over here lol. This ain't no joke bro. But that was to be expected, I'll give myself a week or two to let my body and mind adapt to the weather and environment. It's pretty noisy here, but it's nice nonetheless.

Of course, I took my gear with me, and it'll take some time before I can settle in to start making and writing content again.

The Sunset was absolutely stunning. Just moments before, it was looking like that. So, you can kinda guess that I was chilling hardcore on the balcony, with my mind set to zero, while checking how the Sun went down.

Oh, and I'm also writing this from my brand-new laptop, which seems to be working very nice. The downside is, is that I didn't fill it with my photographs of Malta yet. But yeah, that will come eventually!

Cheers,
Ruben

Have fun and enjoy your time there! I hope it will help you to forget whatever is bothering you 🙂

PS: I would probably spend a lot of time on that balcony too! 😁

Thanks! Yeah, definitely need to recharge my batteries. And it looks like I'll be getting enough time to recharge :))

The view in that place you rented is amazing. I look forward to seeing more photos when you have some time to share them here.

But remember... Rest is necessary, two nights without sleep is too much 😯 I hope you can recharge your batteries and feel a little better. Have a good start of the week @rubencress :)

Thank you!

Brother! I hope you are doing well man. Try to enjoy the trip in between the anxiety inducing moments. I've always heard that Turkey is a beautiful country.

It's been a while but you're always going to be one of the people I root for on this platform.

Appreciate that Kryptik! Haven't seen much, yet, but from what I saw, it was nice nice. It's good to have you back on the chain man! DangerZone represent! :p

I'm mostly lurking but I'm trying to be here more a little at a time.

Lurking is good too, but it's always nice to hear from you. How's the little champ doing?

I have two little champs now my dude. My boy is lost to Nintendo. The little girl is going to be a handful. She just turned 1.

spectacular view, your photos are beautiful

It's a great view indeed! Took some more shots tonight hehe

Are you in Turkey? Why don't you let me know, man? We could've had a drink, haha. It's a pity I'm not in Izmir or Istanbul. Isn't the view perfect? I knew you would love it. I can't wait to read a more detailed post about Turkey.

Where you at man? I just arrived in Turkey.

I'm in Karaman right now but will travel somewhere else soon. How long are you going to stay at İzmir?

Im gonna be here for a while :P I'll DM you on Discord :)

Alright, let's continue there 😎
