Friday, August 9, 2024.
Kenosha, Wisconsin.

I drank from the Alaturka fountain,
I have walked the thorniest path,
Fate pushed me, or did I choose it?
I discovered the world in the tide.

It’s time for everything I mentioned,
Is it all about putting everything right?
Is everything of unknown origin
There’s a price, oh, my brain!

It’s a beautiful morning. The spirits are high. Losers are happy.

Today I’m sending Paula $2500. That’s why I’m happy. I’ll make a girl I like very happy and be her superhero for 5 minutes. It’s worth it. For $2500 I’ll get a priceless pleasure, a happiness.

Then Paula will forget me again. But who cares about that? Life is too short to be sad. And I spend most of this short life in sadness anyway.

But today is not that day. Today is a day of happiness. In a month or so, I may quit my job and come to Istanbul. I will come and learn from Yasin.

Or maybe I will continue driving a truck. Drive, drive, drive, drive. Until January. Or forever.
