A Glimpse into the Future: Celebrating Our 100th Year

How do we celebrate a 100-year journey? I celebrate it.

First of all, I never imagined being in a country like this when I turned 36. I won’t list the well-known negatives here. After the major rupture in 2013, my loved ones and their loved ones moved to other countries and settled there. There’s no need to dwell on that.

In a country where changes are never planned and life resembles a chaotic plane, the hope of those who want to live like “humans” may have dwindled, but the desire and expectation to continue living persist.

Speaking as someone who lives in the most isolated region of the most isolated city in the country, it may be easy, but as time progresses, the question of how much I can exist within this narrowing circle is another question mark.

While striving to exist above these incomprehensible ambiguities, I would like to speak of greater enthusiasm and hope, like a reflex to every disappearance, but that doesn’t seem very realistic either.

Whatever, with whatever, and for whatever reason they are living, I hope the people of this geography will never experience another 100 years like the one they have lived. Especially the last 21 years.

To live is to resist. Here’s to many more joyful 100 years… if possible.
