Ep 004 // Reinvention
Is it just me, or is everyone else going through some sort of reinvention?
Two months ago, I left LA to move abroad with my boyfriend—and honestly? My life right now is messy. Like, really messy. We have to leave our Airbnb in three days with nowhere to go and I’m struggling.
Social media makes it look like everyone has their life together. But let’s be real—that’s not the case. At least, not for me.
Normally, I'd keep this to myself—use it as an excuse to stop sharing altogether. But all this starting over has me thinking about what it really means to reinvent yourself.
At one point, I even thought: "Should I wipe the slate clean and make a new social media account?" Just delete it all. Disappear.
But then it hit me—why erase everything that got me here? So instead, I started this series —picking up where I left off and building from there. (which now turned into me launching this blog…didn’t see that coming)
The thing is, reinvention isn’t some huge transformation like one day everything just clicks and suddenly you’re this brand-new person. It’s about the small shifts.
For me? It’s this. Showing up messy, writing & documenting it all like it's my own tv show—Which isn’t easy…Because I come from a traditional Turkish family, and I can already hear them saying 'Don’t share too much! The evil eye!' — so you can imagine, this took me a long time to breakthrough.
But I’m learning that being real about the messy parts? That’s what actually connects us.
Right now, I'm in this weird space where I’m trying to process a new country, a new me, and putting myself out there. And I know if I follow what excites me—no matter how many times I fail—I’m giving myself permission to keep going.
Your story isn't supposed to make sense to everyone. Hell, half the time, it won't even make sense to you.
And maybe that’s the point.
Reinvention isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about figuring out who you already are—and building from there. Becoming MORE YOU.
So I guess that’s what we’re about to find out.
