hey alexandra, i’ve been reading your posts for a while now and i always wanted to say something, yet never actually written it. i live in istanbul and i still remember your concert at that time vividly. i had many friends coming from other cities just to listen to you, friends who had waited in the line for hours to see you more closer. i remember all of us being mesmerized by your performance, loving your personal takes on your old songs (top of my list is mystery girl), like we were all in love with you. that night, my friends who came from other cities stayed on the street till morning bc they had no money to arrenge a hotel. i resonate so much with your songs, your feelings, and things you share in here. i just wanted to tell that you are an amazing, and a very successful musician no matter how you perceive it, i saw it firsthand. i believe it will work out for you eventually, no matter how bumpy the road is. sending you my best wishes.
