To Isis

Thank you, Isis! I didnt plan to go there, but my friend, girl, insisted. Firstly, I didnt know what to do.. I felt pain of thinking about going there again, but then I realised how weak I am. Alanya is very nice place, and I didnt want to limit myself because of him. Maybe it will be torture, but I am ready to face with the problem. By the way, for him it is not easy to come, and I havent seen him since last September, I think I cant be in love as a teenage girl.. I think! :D And I am sure he will not come. Turkish dont like to be criticized, and he knows he will be if he comes. He told me he wanted to stay my friend and he would come just to see me. This time I dont expect him to come, so it will be easier. And, also.. He told me he didnt understand my reaction, why I was angry, etc, and honestly, he is right. He did nothing to hurt me... We had just bad communication, but he didnt offend me. I dont try to find excuse..it didnt work, and that's it, but is good to be fair...

Everything was so nice, but I was unhappy

What I want to tell is that I dont blame him. I am guilty. I allowed him to hurt me. It was kind of gambling. He told me he would never get married, because he didnt want to be the slave of a woman. He told me Turkish girls are jealous, and they yell a lot. I wanted to show him, there were another kind of girls. ;) We had some progress, but I was not happy with him a single day. Maybe you are wondering why his opinion about marriage is important.. but I dont accept to be in a relationship, if I dont believe it can be crowned by marriage.. I am not fun of one night love, or summer love.. Also, if I hadnt been so much hurt since then, i wouldnt have made such a mistake, satisfying with his drop of love.

And what else... They are different. Simply they are. Their mysterious approach we find very attractive. They pretend they are shy, so we want to encourage them. But as one from the girls told, there is moral problem.. We are trying to be good, and they are trying to be respected... So many things we wouldnt like to face with are allowed according to their moral.. Also, they have their internal problems.. They are not allowed to drink alcohol, to eat pork, to know women before marriage, and many of them dont respect rules of their religion, but they want to be big muslims trying to made us muslims, or to change our names.. Once he told me if he would know there was better religion, he would change his... But I was quite smart.. I told him, if, as you are telling me, there is one and just your God, and that everything is his willing, I can just tell, that he wanted me to be Christian. I will respect his wish! ;) I dont understand changing religion. Every religion is nice with statements dont kill, dont steal..., but tolerance is also very important.

Girls, having your support is such a wealth!

I want to apologize because I made so much mistakes in the previous text, maybe in this as well. You all speak English perfectly, and I clicked submit, without checking...
