nasılsın

Nasılsın? Ah, what a question! I must confess, it is a difficult one to answer. On one hand, I feel as if I should respond with a simple, “Good, thank you.” On the other, I feel that such a response is not entirely accurate. You see, my wellbeing is constantly fluctuating, as is the case with most people. Some days I am feeling great, full of energy and enthusiasm. Other days, I am feeling more down and out. So, I suppose the best answer I can give to your question, “Nasılsın?” is that I am doing as well as can be expected. I am learning to take the highs with the lows and to appreciate the beauty of life’s journey. Thank you for asking.
