Walking through the busy Istanbul streets felt like the warm sun after a day of rain. Children skipping with joy, mothers carrying bags full off bright coloured fruits and joyful looks on every stranger I passed. It was as if I landed in a place where no evil existed. The sun rays reflected on the streets making the ground sizzle like a frying pan ready to be used but I almost enjoyed the burning heat releasing from the ground. The warmth touched every inch of my skin like a comforting hug. Oh Istanbul you are so so so güzel.
How ignorant of me? I forgot to introduce myself, well hello my name is Serra, I'm 24 and well a waitress. My life isn't that interesting so let's get back to talking about Istanbul.
I had been waiting for this day for years! Istanbul was never a place I would call home. Home had always been south London where I felt confident knowing that I would never feel lost. However, I could never imagine going back to the bright red lights and honking of London taxis when I was in what could easily pass as one of the most magical cities on Earth.
Well you must be thinking what on Earth would a 24 year old young women from South London do in Turkey all alone and that's where things get serious. My aim of being Istanbul is more deeper than just finding a place where I could release my soul and find inner happiness. The truth behind moving to Istanbul will always hover over me like a grey cloud of darkness. But this goal I set was my main priority and I had to achieve it no matter what obstacle I'd face in the future.
