    In ramadan, people fasted all day long and broke their fast at evening. In the morning, my granma prepared “keşkek”; tomato paste, wheat and stock, put it all in a clay pot called “caba”. She’d take the caba’s, hand me a bunch of firewood and we’d walk to the neighbors house. Everybody in the neighbourhood did this. They had a huge outdoor oven, everybody would bring firewood and their caba’s. Then they’d put all of the cabas in the oven, fire it and let it cook, until it’s evening, time to break the fast. The food would slowly cook in fire and when it’s time to break the fast, the whole neighbourhood smelled like delicious keşkek. Then you’d go get your cabas from the neighbor, and there would be this thick crust on top. That was my favorite, and honestly I haven’t had anything that smells or tastes that good. I’d wait for ramadan every year. Of course I wouldn’t fast because I was just a kid

    Unfortunately I cannot access most of the things you listed because of a major surgery I had to get last month which also drained my finances. Sooo no i cannot exercise, cannot dance, cannot do photography as much as I love it, can’t see the birds/rivers/oceans etc. And cannot pay for any therapy.

    I get what you mean but fixing my happiness to some activities I may or may not be able to do is not the mentality I can use at this situation. Your response is actually depressing for me, I think it would be a lot more depressing for someone who is permanently unable to do those things.
