Another solar year has passed, and this time, after six years of life connected to migration to Turkey (and reverse migration while still working with Turkey), the departure, or rather, the destruction, of my safe haven and my resignation marked the beginning of the challenge of rebuilding my professional life last fall, a journey that continues to this day. In the past week, some relatively positive developments have occurred, but I’ve decided to wait until everything is finalized before writing about it. Simply put, as a reminder of the passage of time, the fleeting nature of everything, and the joy of new beginnings: Happy Nowruz!
