Greetings friends I went for a walk recently. I walked in the Beykoz forest with my friend and we chatted a bit. I took some photos from here, but there were some issues that stuck in my mind. This article will be a bit... philosophical? I wanted to share my thoughts with you in the form of a blog. I hope you won't get bored.

## The Escape, A Haven of Calmness amidst the Trees

I take every opportunity to tell nature how much I love it. To protect it, I use less plastic at home, I use less water, I don't even want to waste electricity. When I go among the trees or to a beautiful beach, the thing that upsets me the most is the dirt and garbage around. I can't understand why people are so uncaring. Every time I think, I wish everyone was conscious. This relaxing and forgiving nature can be very harsh when it wants to be. If it wants, it can create storms and clean us up. Nature is a living thing, a mother nature. But it doesn't. Because she is patient. After all, humanity will perish. But why don't we make peace. Why don't I escape the crowds of the city and buy a field? Can't I live by planting tomatoes?

I know I can live quite well, but for some reason I don't dare to do that. Maybe I don't want to do that because I think my current life is comfortable. I know that when I work in a field I will be touching the soil all the time and that will take the electricity out of me. Maybe it will reduce my stress. The pressure on my heart will be less... I don't know... It is very difficult to decide because I earn my money in the city.

## Career Prospects vs Personal Happiness


The feeling of the hustle and bustle and the fast pace of city life has been with me since I came home. When I was walking in this jungle I felt how flexible time really is. I haven't been to a camp for a long time and I need to go as soon as possible. In the city we have access to a lot of things. Cultural activities are close at hand and there are theaters, cinemas, whatever you want, but which one do we go to? When was the last time you went to the theater? Is it really worth living here? I think there are a lot of career opportunities here. I am currently unemployed. I will work wherever I enter and I think I will find a better job because I am an engineer. But when I look at my friends living in the town, most of them are happier than me. Maybe their internet speed is 10mbps, not 100mbps, but they are still happier. 

In cities, the health sector is indispensably developed. I have no objection to that either. There are many private hospitals but... If there is a great need, I can visit the city instead of going to the hospital in the town, right? I don't know. Maybe the health sector in a big city, in a metropolis, makes me feel better because I would prefer to go to a better hospital in case of an emergency.

## Dreaming of a Simpler Life, Starting from Scratch


On the other hand, I'm thinking about what my life would be like if I were to leave everything and open a farm or take out a loan for it. How right would it be to get into this business without knowing anything? In the internet age, you don't really need to know anything, you just need to be hungry to learn, you need to love research. 

I think I can live a simpler, simpler life. I won't have to worry about fashion, I won't have to worry about parking. If I get a dog, I won't have to worry about whether the neighbors will get angry or bark or whether the dog will wake me up at night. I won't have to worry about it going outside, which is everywhere. The more I think about it, the more attractive the farm is to me, but I don't know what I can grow. Some of my friends are agricultural engineers and maybe if I contact them I can make a proper start.

In any case, I need to start this business by providing myself with a passive income of a few hundred dollars. Right now we started the youtube project. I don't know if it will catch on. My biggest goal there is to introduce dnd to new players. To make them love it. Let's see. But I know it's not enough for passive income, so I share all my posts as powerups now. Investing in the future. 

There is also something I have noticed in villages, that is, in small settlements, and that is the neighborhood situation. For example, I only know my next door neighbor. I don't know anyone else in the building. If I'm going to live in a village house, I need to meet everyone. I already know that many people knock on the door to welcome me, which makes me love the people of my country once again. We are really a very hospitable nation.

In the end, the decision lies within me, and my wife... and it will shape the trajectory of our life. Whether we choose to embrace the city's fast pace or humble farming adventure, one thing remains certain... I am grateful for this journey of self-discovery and the opportunity to share my thoughts with all of you. May we all find our own solace in the arms of mother nature in the harmony with the environment...

>Thank you so much for reading. All pictures are taken by me and belongs to me. I even dreamed for a long time about living in the mansion in the last photo, working in the country for a few months a year or working on a farm of my own... And then to come here to rest for some time...
