Anxiety
I have anxiety,
the shortness of breath,
the trembling of my fingers,
the feeling of numbness,
the racing of my heart,
throats feeling dry,
and the feeling of hopeless.
Everything is insanely scary.
I am independent,
I have to deal this on my own,
I don't need help,
I can recover from it without asking for help.
Anxiety is terrifying,
but it's okay,
I can do it,
I'm not very sure if I can make it go away,
I just have to be strong
so I won't crumble in front of other people.

Istanbul is a city bristling with life, a place where past and present, sacred and profane, intertwine under the watchful gaze of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. As I explore this crossroads of cultures with Maya, my nine-year-old niece and the daughter of my late brother-in-law Frank, and my wife Nadia, Frank's sister, I find myself on a journey not just through Istanbul's history, but also into the depths of my own beliefs. Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.
