THIS!!

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.

Haven't seen anything so beautiful in my lifee😩😩✨️

"Hurrem’s patronage was not limited to these projects. She built a double bath on the ceremonial route adjacent to Hagia Sophia in the centre of the Old City, another one in the crowded commercial centre of Eminonu on the shores of the Golden Horn and a khan close to the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. She also built a mosque in Ankara, waterways in Edirne, a mosque, a soup kitchen and a primary school in Svilengrad in today’s Bulgaria, and another madrasa in Istanbul. She repaired the Ayn Zubeyde waterways that supplied water to Mecca and she actively participated in the building process of the funerary mosque complex of her son, S¸ehzade Mehmed. Even though she never became Valide Sultan because of her early death, the immense patronage of Hurrem Sultan formed a true prototype for future generations of favourites and queen mothers."
