July 6, 2013 - Prague
I was walking through the narrow streets in Prague, alone. Tried to spend the last few Koruna I had left in my pocket, but everything was closed. I turned a dark alley, and at the end of it I saw someone dancing with a cape on. I checked the time, 2 am, and stood still for a bit to watch the hypnotising sight. The cape was fluttering behind them with each jump and kick. I got scared, yet still moved toward them. Right before I reached, they stopped dancing and jumped down on the ground. Their cape fell on the concrete sidewalk. They began putting some sort of lotion on their naked torso. They then turned to me, and their face lit up with a very strange smile. They had a young vibe, but their face was full of wrinkles. They also had lots of scars. With their scary smile still on, they said something to me in Czech. I asked them if they're okay. They asked for a cigarette, I said I unfortunately don’t smoke. They then asked for money, so I gave them my last few Koruna.

Having read André Gide’s memories with Oscar Wilde shifted my perception of Wilde. Now I find him more human, and feel more compassion for him. I wonder how it would be to meet a person like Oscar Wilde today.

Pelin made some photos of me and D.
She then shared them on a photography group.
That's how G. came into my life.

Got a call from my uncle; apparently my little cousin D. told them that while babysitting him last week I told him “There's no God.” and that gave him distress. I didn’t say such a thing; it’s just that when the call for prayer came on blasting from the mosque, this tiny little kid completely panicked and tried to mute the TV so as not to commit the sin of having the sound of his cartoon on at the same time as the prayer. So I just said something like "Don’t be fucking ridiculous right now."
Anyway. I got into Istanbul University (my third Uni) and will study English literature the coming years.
