Growing up in the village🐓

Do you feel happy? I don’t. The bad thing is that I’ve only recently realized that I’m unhappy. I understood this after a one-week visit to my village. I realized that I wasn’t breathing and that I was living like a robot. It’s sad, very sad… The biggest decision I’ve made after returning from the village is to move to a small town as soon as possible. If I’m going to work, I don’t want to wake up to the sound of cars in the morning.

I placed a video above. The first morning I went to the village, as soon as I heard the sound, I grabbed my phone and started recording. It seems so funny now. The sound of peace that I never noticed while growing up in the village and that makes me so angry when I hear it 🙂

If you ask what it feels like to grow up in a village, I would say it feels like living and breathing. Everyone probably says it this way, but realizing and understanding it takes quite some time. It took me 30 years. It’s still not too late, and I’ve spent most of my life in the village. I think the real tragedy is childhoods wasted in big cities. I feel very sorry for children who grow up indoors without playing. I didn’t have toys, but I had many friends. We used to play games every day. Hide and seek, blind man’s buff, football, volleyball, etc. My dears… Now we’ve all grown up, and some of us even have children.

The sad thing is not realizing it while living. I really wanted to live in a big city. I wanted to wear beautiful clothes. I don’t want to say “I wish.” But back then, I really wanted to be more of a child. I wanted to go swimming in the river more often, sneaking away from my father. I miss playing hide and seek with my uncle, who was only a few years older than us, during the summers in the highlands. On the days when we got tired of grazing cows all day, I didn’t want to sleep as if I was never tired. At night, I loved going to the most secluded corner outside the highlands to watch the stars and listen to the sounds of crickets. Now, I will let you hear that sound.

Did you hear the peace ♥

I accept that ı didn’t take good photo of stars. It is not clear to see them. But there were millions of stars on the sky. It’s been a long time to see them. And ı saw them ,ı was seeing them .

There are many things I couldn’t get used to after leaving the village. For example, people going to the gym. I know it’s funny. But I never did any activities specifically to exercise in my life. However, I did a lot of walking, climbing mountains, and swimming. And I did this in nature. I was so lucky. My short village vacation was so good for me. I walked so much. I released all the energy I had accumulated for a long time into nature. I walked for hours in the river.

This is what it feels like to grow up in a village. Maybe in the future, there will be more things I will talk and write about. But right now, this is what I feel. Maybe these thoughts are filling my mind because I just returned from the village. Perhaps in the future, I can think more in-depth and write more detailed pieces.

A little video from my dear memories.
