“What was the underlying drama when a woman felt the “chemistry” was never right with the men she dated or when someone didn’t know if he was “really in love” with another person? How could these personal stalemates be opened up, energized in the process of therapy, allowing the person to arrive at a truly meaningful answer? Was it an expression of our freer sexual mores—our greater interest in diversity—that married or committed partners so often had affairs? Or was this explanation an easy and comfortable cover for difficulties in becoming more intimate with a partner? Is there only one “right one”? Can one who isn’t “right” become so? How much work should one put into a relationship? What constitutes productive work in a relationship—as opposed to a tedious kind of overanalyzing that avoids acknowledging the relationship is essentially not viable?”

“Git ve benim göremediklerimi gör, benim dokunamadıklarıma dokun, sevemediklerimi sev ve hatta, bu babanın çekmeye cesaret edemediği acıları çek. Dünyadan ve onun binbir halinden korkma.”

“insan ölüyorsa acıdan ölür bir gün
kendine bir daha uğrayamadığından,
koyduğu yerde durmayışındandır hayatın
hatanın dönüşsüz oluşundandır.

hiçbir aşk titremez sonsuza değin,
bütünlüğünü yitirişinden ölür bir mum
ve insan kanatlarından
ayrılır bir gün.”
― Birhan Keskin, Kim Bağışlayacak Beni
