James’s Questions
- What is your favorite genre of music to relax with ? Why ?
I think I go with Turkish folk songs. They are relaxing in terms of the tune. But these ones are sad songs, so it also gives me a bit of sadness.
2. What motivates you to be active each day ?
The prospect of seeing, meeting and talking to people.
3. What is your favorite food for breakfast ?
If anyone knows anything about Turkey, it is that breakfast is a huge thing there (check this video). I cannot do without eggs and Turkish/Greek cheese for breakfast.
4. What is your biggest fear in life ?
Being alone.
5. What is your one hidden talent you do not share with others ?
Until recently, it was my writing. Now I made it public. So, I don’t know.
6. What is your biggest challenge in life ?
Since my biggest fear is alone, my biggest challenge is to be away from my family. And I have been way too far away from them for the past 4.5 years.
7. Who do you admire the most in your life ?
I admire some aspect of everyone. Everyone has good sides.
8. What would be your last wish ?
That everyone (including animals) be happy. Unrealistic. But I still wish it.
9. Who were you in a different life ?
I don’t know. But I also don’t believe that we have past lives.
10. Weird Question-Have you ever left a hand or foot print in a fresh cement sidewalk ?
I wish I had. It would be fun:)
11. Which is your favorite emoji to use all the time each day ?
😂
My Questions:
- Do you have a grand purpose for your life? If so, what is it?
- How much of your daily life do you spend on your phone?
- Do you prefer to have a few close friends or a large group of friends?
- How does a typical morning look for you?
- Do you like reading as much as you like writing?
- What inspires you the most (e.g. sunny weather, dog, family etc)
- If you drink coffee, what is your favorite and why?
- Did you travel to other countries? If so, where?
- Do you speak other languages than your mother tongue? If so, which languages?
- Do you like sleeping?
- Weird: Have you ever hit/slap your sibling secretly as a kid (I did, many times)

Is there any sibling exists who doesn’t pat his/her brother or sister secretly 😅🤣😅
If anyone says yes it must be a white lie(believe you me😉😂)
I do this as long as I sit with my brother.
I loved the last question by James too😊

In my case, my brother didn’t even remember that I hit him at the time because he was too young😂 when I told everybody about this when I was an adult, everyone was surprised. I managed to hide it well😂

Congrats. So happy for you and I really enjoyed reading your answers.
What can beat a Turkish breakfast? … Let me think … nothing!!! 😉
I also love your questions. They are pretty good.
Not sure how widespread these kinds of awards are in Germany. I mostly see them on foreign blogs, however, it is a great way to know more about the bloggers you follow.

Well, if it will be of interest to you, then here we go:
1.) Do you have a grand purpose for your life? If so, what is it?
I love this question and I feel for some while now, that there is something I’m about to discover in this regard … hopefully sooner than later.
2.) How much of your daily life do you spend on your phone?
Barely any.
3.) Do you prefer to have a few close friends or a large group of friends?
I prefer a few truly good friends.
4.) How does a typical morning look for you?
This really depends on my mood. I love to wake up early and start the day while the sun rises. It kind of gives me the feeling of waking up with the current day. A must in the morning: A cup of perfectly and with love prepared green tea. Anything else will depend if I have to work or have a free day.
5.) Do you like reading as much as you like writing?
I do love both. However, I mostly read non-fictional books and the blogs I follow. So reading is more or less to expand my view, gain more knowledge, rather than a relaxing activity. Writing however gives me time to reflect and it is more a relaxing and fun activity to me.
6.) What inspires you the most (e.g. sunny weather, dog, family etc)
I love everything that is not mainstream. Different countries, cultures, and languages are inspiring. Also, people who turned their struggles in their lives into something positive and uplifting.
7.) If you drink coffee, what is your favorite and why?
I barely drink coffee, but if, I prefer Turkish coffee. Of course just to do a reading afterward. Not that I have the knowledge, but it is fun to interpret the shapes in (always!!!) positive ways.
8.) Did you travel to other countries? If so, where?
Yes, I have visited one or more cities in Marrocco, Tunesia, Argentina, France, Great Britain, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, Brazil and lived in British Columbia, Canada, as well in Florida, US.
9.) Do you speak other languages than your mother tongue? If so, which languages?
Well, I have learned a bunch of languages, however, just speak three and a half :-). Turkish is my first language. German my second, since I was born and raised in Germany and currently live in Germany as well. English was my first foreign language, followed by French, Latin, Russian, Ottoman, Old Turkic, Azerbaijani, German Sign Language. German, Turkish and English are the languages I use the most and guess, I will be okay with Azerbaijani as well. All the other languages I need to practice first to read, write, and properly speak again.
10.) Do you like sleeping?
Yes, yes and yes! I also love to stay in bed even without sleeping. 🙂
11.) Weird: Have you ever hit/slap your sibling secretly as a kid?
No, never. Really.
Hope you enjoy.

These are great answers! Why don’t you turn this comment into a post?
First off, I admire how many languages you know! Also the number of countries you visited! Just wow to both!
Second, I am sure you will find your purpose soon! I am also looking for mine and I believe it will come to me at the right time!
Third, I also like things that are non-conventional. They are more interesting!
Great answers! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, Betül. I’m glad you enjoyed reading the answers. I do have a routine on my blog. The short stories I post every Tuesday are already autobiographic, so my followers learn a lot about me and my life in other ways.
I believe that everything will come at the right time. Even the life purpose. Let’s see, when it will be our turn in this regard. 🙂
Traveling is a great opportunity to gain and change perspectives. Highly recommended.
Thanks again for your interest. I highly appreciate.

So many thanks for reading my post😊 I think the most important point in blogging is that it should be something close to your heart. I mean, your blog should reflect you. Don’t try to write on topics you are not interested in just because they are popular. Second, also as important, is the interaction. It is vital to read, like and comment posts on other blogs and communicate with the bloggers that posted them. If you do these two, I think you will be on a good path😊
