My index finger traces along the cool silver edges of the barrette, mindlessly, stroking the smooth round backs of the curled-in waves along its perimeter. Except for the the occasional dull points jutting forth along the edges, nothing disturbs my inner thoughts as I gaze out my window.
As my finger tenderly caresses the surface of the barrette, I look down, staring intently at the barrette's ornate design, noting the tousled silver curls undulating restlessly. Yet, upon careful observation of this squirming lake of waves, there persists a definite symmetrical pattern of repetitions vertically and horizontally. The barrette is longer lengthwise with a red oval disk at its center. The disk, coated with a smooth, clear, glossy plastic, resembles a woman's fingernail painted over with a lustrous, red fingernail polish. Glints of light reflect off the crimsom plastic defining the golden outline and the inner details of each rose petal. One can not help but notice that the red plastic coating is chipped at the bottom where my younger sister had dropped the barrette one day, baring a coppery-golden metal with fine, raised edges of the rose etching underneath. At times, I wondered randomly how it was that glints of the light reflecting off the plastic allowed the outlines of the rose etching to be seen, until the plastic was chipped did I realize how it was that the rose could be seen.
As I again brush the edges of the silver barrette, memories of a dream that I had resurface. It was a dream where I was given this same barrette by someone I could not see and I had examined this barrette carefully, noting the rose etching at the center. I remember turning the barrette on its back and I had thought it was a pin because of its long, needle-like clasp at the back. Later that year, during the summer, my uncle gave me the barrette that looked like the pin in my dream. As I idly continue to finger the perimeter of my barrette, I am reminded that I am one who lives her life on the edges of reality, absorbed in a surreal world where destiny meets the mystery of the inexplicable down the winding path of dreams.

TWO APPEALING PLACES TO LİVE!
As going out from my hometown,Nevsehir,and seeing different places,i have a chance to see how Nevsehir is similar or different from that places which i visit.Since from now on,i live in Denizli mostly, i always compare it to Nevsehir,so I can easily say that altough they have a lot of common points at the first sight,they differ in some points,that is, they are both similar and different.
There are many reason why Nevsehir seems like Denizli.Firstly, both of them are small cities and are not crowded so much;thus,in both cities you can easily listen yourself and relax.Secaondly,both of them have a reminder name,that is, when you hear something about Nevsehir,you come up with Cappodocia immediately,because fairy chimneys are in Nevsehir and when hear Denizli,you remind its textile.Thirdly,Both of them have fresh air thanks to their clear atmosphere;while Denizli gets it with its huge green montains,Nevsehir gains it since it hasn't got so many factory and heavy traffic.As you see they are very similar, both of them are attractive for me to live.
Despite of their similarities ,these cities are different from each other to some extent.First of all,their daily life is different because Denizli is a Mediterranean city and its weather conditions are different and because of this,people of Denizli more relax than Nevsehir's people.What i want to say is that people's mood during day time changes.Then,from attractiveness aspect,altough they are both attractive but,in my opinion,Nevsehir is more attractive than Denizli,because Nevsehir is a touristic place and attracts many tourist both native and foreign.Even if they are different,both of them provide me unforgettable experiences in my life.
Consequently,As living in both cities,i like them very much and they are my favorite places to live which i never say "no!", so both of them are unique and indispensable for me.

OTHER SIDE OF UNUSUAL MARRIAGE
In our days,marriage to foreign people is so common that we adopt it immediately without thinking its end.For instance,a month ago one of my relatives living in England married to a foreign girl.In my opinion,this is unusual and should be prevented to some extent.I mean,while deciding a marriage to another culture,we must think how it will go and what couple will live in their following life.
Marrying to someone from another culture is a diffucult marriage because when you marry to a foreign person,the only common point between you is the love,but as known,marriage requires plenty of responsibility apart from love.For example,when you talk about an important issue,your husband or wife should understand what you want to tell but he /she will understand only to some piece of your words.This is one of the problem of it.Other one is cultural conflict:Person who will marry to you is from different culture,so maybe things which you know as true are wrong for him/her.Furthermore,after ignoring these kind of problem,you'll marry and have a baby.You'll conflict about even its name because you have right want to give its name but it is the same as your wife or husband.Many people can think these kind of marriage isn't diffucult and these problems can be ignored;however,when they think its following days,they can easily notice that it will transform a big problematic marriage.
Briefly,while decing to marry to a foreign person,you should consider in detail from every aspect of it so as not to regret,altough you want to marry a lot.

SMALL BUT ATTRACTIVE
When you think general landscape of Turkey,you can see Blacksea Region has plenty of green areas than others.Thanks to my sister's engagement,I had a chance to see marvelous landscape of Tokat.It is small city but has both natural and artificial beatuies.
Tokat gains its natural beatuies from its green areas.This is usual for those people living there but as for me,it is unbelievably exiciting beause I haven't seen such green areas that it seems vast.Furthermore,when you look to Niksar from high point,you feel as if you were flying and charmed by its influences on you.Other beauty is the Cave of Ballıca.In order to enter the Cave,you must climb a lot of steps then you go inside of it.While going,you pass snake_like long ways.If i am not wrong,its dept is about 95 meters.Both side of and its hill have different shapes like icy cistern but it is made up of stone and its surfaces are always wet because of its atmosphere.While walking, you feel as if you were in unusual distant places from the world because its cosy atmosphere and comfortable affects make you relax.After go out,you encounter other unbelievable landscape: its natural location and you are again charmed by fresh air provided by huge green mountains which sorround the Cave.
To sum up,you can travel many attractive places for holiday,moreover,Tokat is not in your plan,as it is not near of any sea;nevertheless,these natural beatuies shouldn't be ignored and absolutely a person ought to see once in his/her life so that it adds something which is not wortless for life.
