A New Age, A New Chapter 🍃

Today is my birthday and my theme this year is: Back to nature
We are going on a film journey together into a world completely unknown to us. Anyone who knows my posts probably knows how I feel about consumption, environmental awareness and social media. In recent years, I have developed a new perspective, and actually it is not new at all, but rather a return to oneself.
Children are full of curiosity and a strong urge to explore. They try everything and love discovering their environment. I remember a little girl with short dark hair and a red shirt, that was me exactly twenty years ago, haha. My family has always been very connected to nature. As a child, I used to play with my cousins among stones and trees.
And when I first watched The Man of the Apes, I was amazed by the landscape. There you could see how life in the jungle really works. The modesty, the simple and quiet everyday life and the struggle for survival.
The deeper I dive into this topic, the more I am fascinated by this concept: "Life far away from the civilizational hullabaloo." I mean honestly, the basic idea that an "ape man" grows up in the animal world and has absolutely no idea about household appliances, overalls, or the "refined and proper norms" of ceremonial life.
I see this fictional character, created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, as a role model. He represents many positive qualities that seem to have been completely lost in this time. I believe many people could take inspiration from this hero. I am talking about qualities such as:
• Appreciation
• Courage
• Empathy
• Fairness
• Gratitude
• Loyalty
• Realization
• Self sacrifice
• Sense of duty
• Sense of justice
• Willingness to learn
The question that keeps coming up for me in this post is: where can you still find such people? This portrayal invites me to dream every single time, because it simply shows that there is still good in the world.
On my blog pages, I usually talk a lot about fashion, accessories and preferences. But when it is not about that, I find these societal topics very fascinating. Above all, many people who do not live in the media spotlight can have a completely fulfilling life. In my eyes, they are role models. They do not care what others say or think about them. What matters to them is only what is right and what is not.
This post reminds me of how intense such moments can be, how meaningful such figures are, and how much we can learn from people who have no title, high rank, or well known status. These are the key moments in life that always leave me in awe.
In my life, I've met many people who do not have a prestigious title but still carry a great deal of knowledge and wisdom within them. And I am really grateful for every such encounter. These are people I can learn from. And as I always say: "You never stop learning." And I truly mean that in every area of life.
A new age is a new chapter. For me, it is another chapter of my story, where I hope to experience many more moments like these. To understand, in its essence, what truly matters, who I am and what I really want.
This perspective is a beautiful conclusion to this day for me. I feel connected to this theme and continue exploring and expressing this new side of myself.
This year, on the 28th, I turned exactly 28 — a special day for a special age. In line with the theme "Back to nature," I chose shades of green and natural colors. This year, you'll be hearing more about this in my upcoming articles, happy me!
