Some Life Rant - Biraz Yaşam Rantı [EN-TR]
Hello, even though I don't often write on topics like this, I like it because I find comfort in sharing it. I feel better psychologically. The word rant in English is not literally translated into Turkish, but we can call it a complaining style. What I'm going to do today is rant about the way my life is going.
I know I've said many times that I'm working hard these days and it's bothering me. I don't feel like it's paying off and that bothers me even more. I am young compared to a lot of people reading this right now and this may seem out of place, but I am sure a lot of people in Turkey who are around my age share my feelings. What will my future be?
I will work for years, there is no way out. I will go to work, leave work, come home, eat, take a shower, wash the dishes, maybe watch a movie or play some games and go to sleep. When I wake up in the morning the cycle will continue. What am I going to gain at the end of this? Am I going to be able to buy a house? Am I going to be able to buy a car? Am I going to be able to make myself happy, or when I have children, am I going to be able to make them happy? Am I going to be able to make my wife happy? Am I going to keep thinking every day when I put my head on the pillow, can tomorrow be a better day? Because right now I am very bored with this.
Apart from economic problems, there are other problems in my country and in the world. There are rumors of a 3rd world war, there are those who say it will never happen. We had something like the corona virus, we were stuck in our homes for years, and now they are talking about the monkey pox virus. Really? Are we going to keep worrying about bad things all the time? When will I have a really stable life and every day will be happy and fun? I ask myself this question every day when I put my head on the pillow and it's exhausting.
In my life so far, I have understood very well that you have to enjoy every moment and not regret anything. In high school I didn't go on a school trip, I regret it, I wish I had. In high school I spent too much time on League of Legends and didn't realize the beauty of the surroundings, I wish I had never played this game. In college I didn't socialize because of my girlfriend at the time, big mistake, I wish I had broken up with her and met my friends more often. All these are big mistakes in my life. I wish I had been braver. Look around you, there are people who you think are very stupid and they live better than you, do you know why? They act without caring what other people think. I see ridiculous videos on Tiktok and they get millions of views. These creators make thousands of dollars and they don't care, maybe they don't know, how stupid they look from the outside. I've never downloaded Tiktok, I wish I had, and I would make stupid videos. Maybe I wouldn't be the most popular, but I could be a nerd channel sharing informative stuff.
As I said above, probably many of the people reading this are older than me and what I am writing is not a lesson for them. But if you are young, if you want to do something and you think about what others will say, forget about them and do what you want to do. Don't be afraid, be brave and chase your dreams. Unless you are already very lucky, even if you do a job that is not your dream, not much will change.
Thank you for reading. You can share how your life is going in the comments. I hope it is going as you planned and everything is going well. Take care and have a great day!

Merhaba, böyle konularda sık yazmasam da bunu seviyorum çünkü bunu paylaşmak beni rahatlatıyor. Psikolojik olarak kendimi daha iyi hissediyorum. İngilizcedeki rant kelimesi Türkçeye tam anlamıyla çevrilmemiş ama şikayet edici bir üslup diyebiliriz. Bugün yapacağım şey hayatımın gidişatı hakkında rant.
Bu aralar yoğun çalıştığımı pek çok kez söyledim biliyorum ve bu durum beni rahatsız ediyor. Karşılığını alıyormuş gibi hissetmiyorum ve bu durum beni daha da rahatsız ediyor. Şu anda bu yazıyı okuyan pek çok kişiye oranla ben genç sayılırım ve bu yazı yersiz gelebilir ama Türkiye'de yaşayan ve benim yaşlarımda olan pek çok kişinin benimle aynı duyguları paylaştığına eminim. Geleceğim ne olacak?
Yıllarca çalışacağım, bunun herhangi bir çıkar yolu yok. İşe gideceğim, işten çıkacağım eve döneceğim yemek yiyeceğim, duş alacağım, bulaşıkları yıkayacağım belki bir film izleyeceğim ya da biraz oyun oynayacağım ve uyuyacağım. Sabah uyandığımda döngü devam edecek. Bunun sonunda ne kazanacağım? Bir ev satın alabilecek miyim? Bir araba satın alabilecek miyim? Kendim mutlu olabilecek miyim veya çocuklarım olduğunda onları mutlu edebilecek miyim? Eşimi mutlu edebilecek miyim? Her gün başımı yastığa koyduğumda acaba yarın daha güzel bir gün olabilir mi diye düşünmeye devam edecek miyim? Çünkü şu anda bundan çok sıkıldım.
Ekonomik problemler bir yana ülkemde ve dünyada başka problemler olmaya devam ediyor. 3. dünya savaşı söylentileri var, bunun asla olmayacağını söyleyenler var. Corona virüs gibi bir şey yaşadık, yıllarda evimize tıkılıp kaldık ve şimdi de maymun çiçeği virüsünden bahsediyorlar. Gerçekten mi? Sürekli olarak kötü şeyler hakkında endişelenip duracak mıyız? Ne zaman ciddi manada stabil bir hayatım olacak ve her günüm mutlu ve eğlenceli geçecek? Her gün başımı yastığa koyduğumda kendime bu soruyu soruyorum ve yorucu oluyor.
Hayatımın bugüne kadar olan kısmında şunu çok iyi anladım her anın tadını çıkarmak gerek ve hiçbir şey için pişman olmamak gerekiyor. Lisede okul gezisine gitmemiştim, pişmanım, keşke gitseydim. Lisede League of Legends'a çok fazla zaman ayırdım ve çevredeki güzelliklerin farkına varamadım, keşke bu oyunu hiç oynamasaydım. Üniversitede o dönemki kız arkadaşım yüzünden sosyalleşemedim büyük hata, keşke onunla ayrılsaydım ve arkadaşlarımla daha sık görüşseydim. Bütün bunlar hayatımdaki büyük hatalar. Keşke daha cesur olsaydım. Çevrenize bakın, çok aptal olduğunu düşündüğünüz insanlar var ve sizden daha iyi yaşıyorlar, neden biliyor musunuz? Başka insanların ne düşündüğünü umursamadan hareket ediyorlar. Tiktok'ta saçma sapan videolar görüyorum ve milyonlarca izleniyor. Bu içerik üreticileri binlerce dolar kazanıyor ve dışarıdan ne kadar aptalca göründüklerini umursamıyorlar, belki de bilmiyorlar. Ben şu ana kadar hiç Tiktok indirmedim, keşke yapsaydım ve saçma sapan videolar çekseydim. Belki en popüler olamazdım ama bilgilendirici şeyler paylaşan nerd bir kanal olabilirdim.
Yukarıda dediğim gibi muhtemelen bu yazıyı okuyan pek çok kişi benden daha büyük ve yazdığım şeyler onlar için bir ders niteliğinde değil. Ama eğer gençseniz, bir şeyler yapmak istiyor ve başkaları ne der diye düşünüyorsanız, onları boş verin ve ne isterseniz onu yapın. Korkmayın, cesur olun ve hayallerinizi kovalayın. Zaten çok şanslı değilseniz hayaliniz olmayan bir işi yapsanız bile çok şey değişmeyecek.
Okuduğunuz için teşekkür ederim. Yorumlarda siz de hayatınızın nasıl ilerlediğini paylaşabilirsiniz. Umarım planladığınız gibi gidiyordur ve her şey yolundadır. Kendinize iyi bakın ve harika bir gün geçirin!
That is some great advice for young people, I think you should do what you enjoy doing and then you would not work a day in your life! I wish I had followed more of my passions when I was younger as you cannot do it so easily when you get older.

It's definitely not easy to do, man, even when you're a few years ahead. There's a lot of things I could change if I went back.

STOPIf there are no constraints in your life now, no family commitments, no financial issues, no health concerns, what would you want to do? Where would you want to be?
Then take a step back and think, what's the next best thing you can do given your life constraints? And if you don't do that now, when's your next window of opportunity? If you're happy to wait that's fine, just get on with your life till you get to that stage. If you don't want to wait, be brave, indulge yourself for once, then you can continue with your life with no regrets
That's the problem, I'm so used to having that kind of restriction that I'm not sure what I would do without it. I'll think about it and see if there's anything I can do. Thank you very much for your advice Pauline.
Yeah.
But it's more about being opportunistic to being diligent.
being diligent means working very hard hoping to get promoted.
being opportunistic means applying for a better position in another company with better salary.
:D
I don't know, man. I do both, haha. I really want to do better in life, I need better days.
😁
I'm probably a bit older than you and have therefore other experiences than you. I also have times when I feel similarly but then I look back and I kind of think that my position in life today is the results that I took in the past. Unfortunately we can't go back and change these decisions but we can always change the decisions in front of us. Maybe what you consider to be bad decisions in the past, will help you to make better decision in the future.... If you hadn't made these bad decisions in the past, you maybe wouldn't make the next good decision in the future. In the end it's all a matter of perspective :-)
I agree, for example, that relationship I had at university made me much more careful in my future relationships. Life is a bit like that, you need to learn lessons. I always try to be positive and smile but lately it's harder than it used to be man. Thanks for the advice.
Never been to Turkey, but I do know both Emre and Deathwing. My wife loves Istambul, so it will happen someday.
They are the most recognized Hivers in Turkey. Then I expect you to visit as soon as possible. Istanbul is a really beautiful city. By the way when is Hivefest in Turkey?
You guys should lobby for it in two years. Usually it is eastern hemisphere, and then western...., but since Turkey is really in the middle, neither here nor there, you guys can lobby for it next year! It is easy to get to. Well connected to the world and absolutely beautiful country with excellent food! What else we need?!
I really want to because even if I can't go abroad I would do my best to attend a Hivefest in my country. I have to talk to Emre and Deathwing about it, I'm ready to do whatever possible.
Unfortunately, I have some bad news for you... The way you feel isn't just an "age thing" and it can last longer than you would like to... I suppose that the only way is to embrace it and move on... At least, I did that... Of course, I have my regrets, but there is always a look in the future, or in the present... and take those opportunities...
Heads up and move on! You are a thinker... It is a blessing and a curse... :)
I'm doing everything I can about it, man. I'm not a pessimist and I know that I will always do my best for the future and if I can get out of this situation, I know that the only way out is by myself. As for the acceptance part, I'm also aware that not everything can be perfect.
You are very brave to talk about this topic. I feel the same way in many aspects I spend my days working without seeing results that lighten my load or improve my life. Global issues affect me a lot too, and although I’ve tried to distance myself from the news because it stays in my mind for a long time (I recommend the song The News by Paramore 😄). Past mistakes can affect us, but we need to learn to use them to our advantage and accumulate experiences. Thank you for the post, the advice, and for sharing your personal perspective. Best regards.
I am so glad you liked it, this post is all about my feelings. I hope we both have days when we put these problems behind us and are very happy.
Well, that's not something new to read brother, I think every person belonging to a middle class is having these kinds of tensions. I don't know how long it will last or it might last forever, so the only thing you can do is just push away these thoughts and enjoy your daily circle.
I'm doing my best on this, man. I'm positive except on days when I don't sleep much. When I'm too sleepy, there's nothing I can do about it :P
Very good reflection. Life sometimes plays against people, and it doesn't matter in those cases that you have worked, saved and acted well, as you always tried.
In the end, when I retired, my country fell into economic decline and ruined almost the entire population, despite the fact that many of us acted well, saved and worked, the reality is that life made fun of all that effort and sacrifice.
Life has a cruel sense of humor, and a lot of it.
I'm afraid you're right, man. Life has no mercy. When it hits, it hits hard. And the things you can do about it are always limited. Thanks for stopping by
Man I hate those stock photos so much.
A photo of a desk? Do you have no desk to take your own photo?
Or use AI... whatever...
But then again: What you write is true. You should not care too much about what people think of you or your content; Including my input above 😅
Okay, let's say I took a table photo or produced it using AI. What am I going to do about the other photos? Am I going to take a photo of a helpless person or pose myself XD Besides, AI is not very successful in this regard. Still, I will tag you in the photos I produce with artificial intelligence from now on haha
made this with canva. was for free. used a google account to log in.
As I said, I will work on it
Hola, tengo 21 años y vivo en Venezuela, y a pesar de la distancia que nos separa a nivel geográfico, de idioma, cultural... describes tu vida y estás describiendo la mía y la de todos los jóvenes venezolanos que seguimos en Venezuela (8 millones han emigrado buscando un mejor futuro, algunos buscando simplemente poder cubrir sus necesidades básicas).
Algo que acabo de comentar en otro post: acá un docente, te gana 3$ al mes. A un músico se le rompe una cuerda de su guitarra y le cuesta 3$ y por eso no la puede reponer Bueno... así está la vida acá en estos momentos
I'm so sorry to hear that. It's too bad that these problems are happening in so many parts of the world, man. It sucks that people are fleeing the country just for the basic necessities of life. We deserve to see better days.
Kesinlikle öyle. Benim geleceğim ne olacak? Herkes artık birlik duygularını bırakıp bireyselliğe kaymaya başlamış ama kimseyi de suçlamamak gerek. Ekmek derdine düşünce biz diye bir şey kalmıyor. Ben hâlâ kötü de olsa bir iş bulamadım mesela.
Bence evet, yani en azından şimdiki sistem olduğu gibi devam ederse. Adı lazım olmayan birisinin gidip mezarının üzerinde dans etmezsem içim rahat etmez..
Kesinlikle! Cahilliğin gerçek anlamda mutluluk olduğu bir kısım ama günümüze uyarlanmış. Biz onlara aptallıkları için gülüyoruz evet ama aynı zamanda hayatta kalma savaşı verenler de biziz, onlar değil...
Bu durum uzun bir süre daha düzelmeyecek gibi ne yazık ki ama umarım bir mucize olur da düzelir. Kendini üzme diyemeyeceğim çünkü kendini mutlu etmeye yetecek çok fazla sebep yok. Tek dileğim bu düşüncelerin senin için daha fazla çıkmaz bir hâle gelmemesi.
