This is about someone I know in real life. Can they really claim to be Mexican if tbey were born and raised in LA? They can't even speak Spanglish, let alone proper Spanish. To me, they're just American, even though their race is Latino, with both parents being of Mexican descent.

Yes. I claim to be Turkish because my parents are both from Turkey and I know how to speak Turkish too (even if I’m not the best at doing so). If that’s how you want to perceive it, that’s fine as long as you respect how they identify themselves.

Well..I've actually accomplished so much this year already. It's definitely been the best year of my life so far :).
* I finally got my master's degree in June 2024.
* I've attended in at least 10 different health education trainings in the hospital.
* In September I will start studying sign language, continue studying singing in WAF singing studio, and I also registered myself in training, themed ''Communication and coping with a patient with a mental disorder''.
* I've travelled abroad in 1 new country/city (France, Paris) to celebrate my first wedding anniversary, and in September another new country/city will be added to the list (Greek, island of Rhodes), also in September I will visit Turkey again (from there I will travel to Rhodos). And from the end of November until Christmas, I will go to Ireland for seasonal work for the second year :). So 4 countries in one year (I've never in my life accomplished that before).
My life includes more stuff, but I pointed out the most important things :).

I used to like it, especially four years ago during lockdown because I could finally spend all my time being alone and away from my peers that didn’t seem to like me much anyways. As time went on, I started getting bored and irritated so I’d text my friend who used to live in the US but went back to Turkey. Our friendship came to an end and the group chat that I later was a part of wasn’t active anymore. I now have friends from here but sometimes wish I could have a friend I can regularly see/visit in person. I enjoy my own company when I’m distracted and I’m an introvert at the end of the day so I do like to listen to music, take naps, or read when I’m not in the mood to talk to anyone. These days, being alone is the last thing I want because I’ve pretty much been a loner my whole life.

I do. I had a childhood friend back when I was in second grade and we would have sleepovers every weekend even tho we lived in apartments that happened to be a few walks away. They came to stay in the US temporarily then went back to Turkey after a year of staying in the US and I spoke to her a few times on the phone afterwards but that was it. I also made a good friend back when I was in sixth grade but we don’t talk anymore since we drifted apart in seventh grade and she later moved elsewhere and so have I.

Hi Rachel, On this Independence Day 🇺🇸, are you having stuffed turkey? (I highly doubt it!!🚫🤣) I can't even count how many times I've seen people eating stuffed turkey in movies and TV shows set on this holiday. I guess it's part of your tradition. ☺️

I’ve never heard of people eating turkey for Independence Day. Usually it’s a cookout like burgers and hot dogs. I just had my usual fruit but I did go see fireworks downtown. The sky was pretty tonight before it.

I like Yorkshire pudding, I like pigs in blankets, I like turkey, I like roast vegetables etc. I’ve had polish Christmas food too and I do like the fish and beetroot soup and pierogi 🥟

Idk why my mom thought it was a good idea for my grandma to take me on a boat tour while I was in Turkey since I hardly enjoy them and they are likely to give me motion sickness although they didn’t when I went on them a few times last summer. I don’t do much to avoid them when it comes to amusement parks (if at all) since I challenge myself to go on almost every fast ride there is.

I don’t know about the jalapeño cheese bread here but in Turkey, people walk in the mornings to pick up bread for breakfast and there are lots of bread options to choose from (bread with olives, cheese, peppers, etc.).

Most where makeup for different reasons. Why do YOU currently wear makeup?

Morgen_muffel’s Profile PhotoMorgen_muffel
Froyh’s Profile Photo
Merve
I don’t wear makeup anymore but when I was younger, I used to love the idea of using makeup and would beg my family members to get me lipstick and/or lipglosses. As I got older, I started to lose interest in makeup but there was a period in high school when I was using mascara on a daily basis and would still wear lipstick every once in a while. If I ever wear makeup now, it’s probably because I’m going to a special event and know that others at the event will most likely try to look nice as well. I would’ve continued to wear mascara but when I was going to board on the plane to go to Turkey last summer, I didn’t know they discarded liquids so they took my liquid makeup remover and I haven’t bought a new one since then.

What's your plan for summer? Going on any vacations?

Froyh’s Profile Photo
Merve
Maybe we’ll start going out more often as a family when my grandparents come over but by then, my classes will most likely start. We usually go to the same amusement park every summer, my mom and I go to regular parks for my little sister to play with her friends, we go on a road trip to Florida as a family, or eat out as a family every once in a while. I was initially planning on going to Turkey again but since my grandparents will be visiting us instead, I’m stuck home.

Have you ever had to go without your glasses because you couldn't find them?

Froyh’s Profile Photo
Merve
I never had to wear glasses until my college years and I usually never wear them (unless I’m driving). My grandma wears glasses but still drives without her glasses sometimes which is how I discovered I needed glasses because she would tell me to read the signs on the highway for her and I couldn’t see them clearly from a distance. Once I came back from my trip to Turkey, I had to renew my drivers license and couldn’t pass the vision test so I was told to get glasses and come back later. Wearing glasses is just something I’m not used to and I don’t think I look good with them either. I go outside without them all the time.

I wear the bracelet that I got from Turkey last summer on a daily basis not only because it looks good, but also because it reminds me of the memories I’ve made there after not going for 8 years. I was hoping that I’d be able to go back again but since my grandparents will be visiting my uncle’s first and then coming here, I won’t be able to go to Turkey this summer.

What is the best memory you have of a vacation trip? What made it special?

When I went to Turkey last summer. What made it special was that I didn’t go to Turkey in 8 years and really missed being able to travel there and seeing all the people I haven’t seen in such a long time. I went to a vacation place in Turkey where I didn’t have any access to service or wifi so I ended up spending the week either making use of the ocean or swimming in the indoor pool instead (but the pool wasn’t free like the ocean). It was nice for a change and it was a big change for me because I’m almost always on my phone and barely stay physically active in the US. I went without my family members to visit my grandparents so I didn’t have to worry about what the rest of my family wanted to do or disagreements on where to go next. I didn’t get to spend a lot of time with everyone that my grandma knew of since it was a month long trip but, I’d do it all over again this summer if it were up to me.

My mom is looking forward to going on a vacation whereas my dad doesn’t have any plans to go anywhere at the moment. Us traveling as a family depends on whether or not my dad wants to go anywhere and he’s usually content with staying home. I’m happy that I get to take a break from classes and that my grandparents might come to visit us but that will be towards August if they do. Hopefully, I’ll be able to go to Turkey again like I did last year but it’s fine if I don’t go as long as I keep myself busy in the meantime.

At what age did you finally start feeling like an adult? What caused it?

tristanandiseult3’s Profile PhotoΣΩ
Froyh’s Profile Photo
Merve
I never felt like an adult and to this day, I still don’t. But a few months ago, I was suggested to agree on changing the dosage of the medication that I’m currently taking and they said that I don’t have to tell my parents about the change in dosage if I don’t want to because I’m an adult. I also somewhat felt like an adult when being on the plane alone to go to Turkey and visit my grandparents there. Those two instances kind of made me feel more independent since I had the option to make my own decisions without my parents being involved but usually, I feel like a kid, especially since I’m not working anywhere and still need a lot of guidance/help when it comes to completing my school assignments. I’m thinking that the age I get engaged, when I start working at a part time job, when my parents don’t have to remind me to be more responsible, and when I start looking after myself (by going to the gym, finding hobbies I can keep myself busy with, when I start driving more often, etc.), I think I’ll feel more like an adult.

I was planning on going to Turkey and staying there for two months but my grandparents are coming in August so I’m happy about that. Before that happens, it would be nice to go to Florida and stay there for a week, possibly hangout with my old friends if they actually invite me over to visit them this year, maybe visiting the zoo a few times since my mom plans on making us a member there, and going on rollercoasters. If it were up to me, I’d like to visit an island like Turks and Caicos and spend a lot of my time outdoors where there are empty grass fields that I could walk on all day and play volleyball with friends :)

Do you consider the jewelry in Netherlands to be a little different than the jewelry in the US in terms of price, looks or designs? I’m from Turkey so I find myself being fascinated by the jewelry every time I visit my grandparents there!!

I’ve never been to the U.S. so I cannot tell. 😅
Here in The Netherlands older women usually wear more colourful and bold jewelry (depending on their personality of course!)
Younger women also wear colourful jewelry sometimes, but mostly just silver, gold or rose gold.
Men sometimes wear bracelets or necklaces, but are mostly into watches.

Okay so this is my go to post workout meal whenever I don't feel like putting extra effects and I think it always comes out to be good.
"Take some bell peppers, cut the top off and remove seeds. Now in a separate pan add a pinch of olive oil/desi ghee(clarified butter) and stir fry some minced chicken(you can also go for fish or turkey or any other meat, I prefer white meat in a post workout meal so yeah) along with some salt, pepper, soya souce, honey, vinegar and a sauce of your choice, I usually go with sriracha or chilli garlic to spice things up. Now put all this mixture in the hollow bell peppers, top them with some parmesan cheese or low fat mozzarella and air fry it for twenty minutes. Don't forget to grease it with some olive oil to make it crispy.
And you can thank me later.

What’s one place you’ve visited that you never want to return to?

I wouldn’t say I’m completely against returning there but my mom, brother and I went to Izmir (somewhere in Turkey) with my grandparents and we stayed at the property of my grandpa’s brother’s vacation home. It was a bad experience because I wasn’t on antidepressants at the time and kept crying/complaining every so often while also being a hormonal teenager, I wasn’t a fan of the small house we stayed in, and I didn’t feel comfortable being around the sons of my grandpa’s brother since I saw them for the first time and just didn’t know how to act around them. However, I did like the ocean there and had mussels so it wasn’t completely bad 😋

If I felt like we connected pretty quickly, I’d give them my number but it doesn’t always mean they’ll contact me. When I went to Turkey last summer, I was on the bus and this lady sat next to me and we had a nice conversation so she saved my number on her phone to keep in touch before she got off (or at least that’s what she made me believe). I never heard from her again.

Have you ever sent a shout out or a dedication on a radio station? I remember that when I was a kid, our local radio station had that thing where you could call in or send a text message, and they would read it. You could request to dedicate a song to someone, or send out a message to the listeners.

Froyh’s Profile Photo

I had no idea such a thing even existed. I still find myself stuck in the past since I always listen to the songs I’d hear on the radio while I was in Turkey, songs that came out 8+ years ago. I’m pretty sure there are newer songs that I’d like but I just haven’t discovered them yet since my Spotify playlist always brings up the older songs and hardly ever introduces me to the newer ones.

Are you a person with diabetes?

Froyh’s Profile Photo
Merve
No but when I was on a vacation in Turkey and staying with my grandparents, I checked my blood glucose levels and they were extremely high (indicating that I was most likely diabetic) and my grandma was seriously concerned about my health. But, when I returned back home, I took the blood glucose level test again and it came back slightly high but wasn’t at a point where I’d be considered diabetic so that was relieving to say the least. I should exercise and eat better which isn’t that difficult for me as I’ve done it in the past but since I don’t exercise regularly and usually don’t care about eating healthy anymore, it’s harder to do these days but it’s worth making small changes to be healthier.

Why do people call u lazy

Froyh’s Profile Photo
Merve
My dad thinks I’m being lazy and he’s right about that sometimes but I think it’s most my depression that’s making me “lazy” since when I do feel motivated and have energy, I tend to make my own meals and finish the work I have to do. I was anything but lazy when I was in Turkey while walking from place to place so I think it depends on external factors and my mood overall.

I don’t like just any kind/type of cheese there is. My favorite is mozzarella and the stick cheese that comes in packs. I normally don’t have cheddar and don’t really like it but I do remember liking it inside a turkey wrap that I used to buy from school every so often when I was in elementary and middle school.

I never do online shopping when it comes to clothes since I have to try them on first to see if they’ll fit so I don’t have to worry about returning them again but when it comes to jewelry, I’m fine with online shopping and I usually shop at Pandora or go to a jeweler in person. The last jeweler that I went to was in Turkey and I ended up getting a bracelet from there that I wear everyday now. For clothes, I like the brands LC Waikiki or Collin’s (which are both brands you can find in Turkey). My mom also gets me clothes from Costco sometimes and they’re usually good quality clothes that last me a long time.

I definitely need summer to come here soon because these four classes that can be hard to keep up with is exhausting and idk what I would do without receiving help from anyone as I’m not the most independent person there is out there. Hopefully I’ll get to go to Turkey again this summer but if my grandparents decide to come here instead, I wouldn’t be able to go. As exhausting as it was, I miss being active and walking from place to place in Turkey as well as speaking Turkish more often so I don’t completely end up forgetting my native language.

If anyone is interested in watching my lifetime memories then yeah but as of now, I’m not really making memories and am instead spending my life chilling or working on my assignments in my room so I’d prefer that my life from 2020-2024 wouldn’t be recorded in the microchip since there isn’t anything “interesting” that’s been happening in my life for the past four years (except for the fact that I went to Turkey last summer). But, I’d love for there to be a recording of all the upsetting things people have said to me in the past to expose those people for the way they treated me. The microchip would also include those who showed signs of being a fake friend, signs that I most likely happened to miss but am slowly starting to realize were there all along while I tried my best to remain optimistic and ignored them.

It’s not boomer-ish but just facing the reality of how kids are nowadays. I wouldn’t be able to imagine my life without being on my phone these days so I totally understand why kids are also hooked on electronics but I do think that if there are enough activities to keep kids busy, they wouldn’t feel the need to be on their phones as much. I remember when my phone didn’t work for a whole week while I was on a vacation in Turkey and staying at this resort but I did have access to the pool and ocean so I spent the whole day swimming and didn’t feel as bummed out about not being able to go on my phone.

Have you ever been stalked? 😨 What was your experience like?

Froyh’s Profile Photo
Merve
I’ve never been stalked to the point where I was worried for my life but I have caught the eye of my neighbor back when I lived in my hometown. We took the same bus home and he stopped where I got off and looked at me from a distance, as if he wanted to say something but couldn’t find the courage to say it. I wish I looked back and spoke to him that day, rather than incessantly knocking on the door to my house and trying to go inside ASAP. Also, another time I felt I was being stalked was when I was in Turkey and this guy was following me around and kept his eye on me while we were shopping with my grandma and friend. I thought he was cute and would’ve stopped to talk to him but I knew my grandma would tell my mom about it and my parents would be more reluctant to send me off to Turkey again if I pulled a move like that so I didn’t say anything to him. He eventually left when I was inside the store for a while as I was trying on new clothes since I couldn’t see him anywhere around after I was done shopping.
