Excerpts of "Long Distance" by Ayşegül Savaş

Hot and cold in a relationship. Being in love with someone is such a big exercise in trust that it's hard to stop believing in the other person, even when it hurts with how much the relationship trembles and oscillates with nothing at all.

My English professor talked about how relationships, even really bad toxic ones, are sustained because there is some need being fulfilled by it.

It's nice being on such a similar wavelength with someone. Similar enough and you fall in love with them. In social psychology, studies have shown that similarities are what really bring people together. Even with perceived differences in hobbies or "personalities," if their values are similar that's enough to hold a happy relationship (the matching hypothesis). The longer you spend with someone in that kind of proximity, it becomes easier to see the undertones that are ultimately driving the overall current of that person. Sometimes that's hard to look at directly because you want to believe that the driving force is less fundamental than it is.

I think what makes up a lot of people is their habits - what habits have they picked up from their past? What driving forces move them towards those habits? How are those similar or different to the habits I have picked up subconsciously from my past?

I'm easily disappointed in people because of those habits. But who am I to be disappointed in others, when those habits may suit their life the best?

In a relationship, because some of your habits and driving forces fit with each other, you can sustain each other on whatever special need is being met that nobody else can. But isn't it heartbreaking when that need isn't enough to keep the relationship together? Or other habits break apart the ability to keep those needs satisfied.

That's what a long term relationship is like. So many infinite weeks of marching through life, moments of really beautiful bliss (sometimes even months of it). And all of that brushed away in a single week. A person collapsing into a pile of salt.

Watch Kurulus Osman Season 1 with English Subtitles,

Watch Kurulus Osman Season 2 with English Subtitles,

This is the great heroic story of Ertugrul Ghazi & Kurulus Osman, the father of Osman who founded the Ottoman Empire. This series is created by Mehmet Bozdag (2020). The show is famous in Turkey & abroad particularly Pakistan and Azerbaijan but also has been banned in Arab countries and Fatawa has been issued against this show. The Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan Imran Khan praised the show and recommended people to watch it. Now officially, the series is broadcasting now on PTV in Urdu dubbing.

Show Name: Kurulus Osman

Language: Turkish With English Subtitles

Season: 2

Episode: 14

Season 1 of the series that will focus on the life of Osman Bey, the son of Ertugrul Gazi from the Kayi family and the founder of the Ottoman Empire. He would ignite the fire of gas and freedom with her black eyes. His name was Osman, the son of Ertuğrul Gazi. It was old u love “that guided him through the darkness. In the land irrigated with blood and tears, mown as celestial crop; He saw the dream of a nation that would cross seven heavens, seven places, mountains and seas with love. He took his power not from his sword but the love he showed, resistance to slavery with freedom, the largest empire in history has seen the name love given. The rebellion against the corrupt order that gave 72 nations hope for the silent, the cry of the oppressed was the name given to the organisation.

Ertugrul Ghazi provided a firm base for the foundation of the Ottoman Empire. Ertugrul fought with valor and bravery with the stubborn leaders to have full control of the state. During this period, Osman Ghazi was given religious as well as worldly education. Osman Ghazi became attached to a famous scholar of that time named Sheikh Edebali. Osman Ghazi used to visit Sheikh Edebali often time. Once Osman Ghazi dreamed of a tree, four rivers, and a crescent of light coming out of Sheikh Edebali and entering into his chest while he was sleeping at Sheikh Edebali’s dargah. After knowing about the dream, Sheikh Edebali was much happy and told him about the establishment of the Ottoman Empire and also that your children will rule the whole world. Sheikh Edebali also married her daughter Malhun Hatun to Osman Ghazi. He also advised Osman Ghazi about the dream as we have also seen in the first teaser of Kurulus Osman. This also means that Sheikh Edebali will be seen advising and guiding Osman Ghazi in the establishment phase just like Ibn-e-Arabi did to Ertugrul Ghazi in preparing the base of the Ottoman Empire.

Kurulus Osman season will be covering the remaining story about how Osman Ghazi turned this dream into reality and how he established such an Empire that lasted for more than six centuries. Some of the characters which have been confirmed are Burak Ozcivit (portraying Osman Ghazi), Aslihan Karalar (portraying Malhun Hatun), Nurettin Sönmez (portraying Bamsi Beyrek), Ragip Savas (portraying Dundar Bey), Aysegul Gunay (portraying Osman’s aunt as wife of Dundar Bey), and Celal Al (portraying Abdur Rahman Alp).

“You never tell me I’ve told you this before. You’re kind to humor this old fool.”

“I know you like the shop,” I said. I also knew that things don’t loosen their grip so easily, with a single utterance.
