**✨ What is Hıdrellez? ✨**

**Hıdrellez** (pronounced *Hid-rel-lez*) is a vibrant spring festival celebrated on **May 5th–6th** in Turkey, the Balkans, and other regions with Turkic and Islamic influences. It marks the meeting of the prophets **Hızır (Khidr)** and **İlyas (Elijah)**, who are believed to bring renewal, abundance, and miracles.

### 🌸 **Traditions & Beliefs**

- **Wishes & Rituals:** People write their dreams on paper or tie them to a "wish tree," then burn or release them into water, hoping they’ll come true.

- **Jumping Over Fires:** A purification ritual where leaping over bonfires symbolizes leaving bad luck behind.

- **Nature Celebrations:** Picnics, dancing, and music in green spaces honor the rebirth of nature.

- **Cleaning & Preparing:** Homes are cleaned, and special foods (like *kuzu dolma*, lamb dishes) are shared to welcome prosperity.

### 🔮 **Why May 5th–6th?**

In the old Rumi calendar, May 6th was considered the start of summer—**Hızır’s Day** (symbolizing life) and **İlyas’s Day** (water) merging into one celebration of hope.

**💫 "Hıdrellez is where magic feels real—wishes whispered to the wind might just come true."**

May your wishes come true 🌿🔥

The Hong Kong Jockey Club - where tradition and speed race round the bend

On Hong Kong's neon-soaked nights, a heart beats at a gallop: the Jockey Club, a colossal paradox since 1884 - both a temple of sport and a benefactor of the city. Here, wealth and ritual merge when sleek horses shoot across the turf like liquid gold.

The crowd goes wild, bets whisper of luck and loss, but there is more behind the frenzy: schools, hospitals, culture - financed by the race of the hooves. A high-stakes game in which even the city wins.

I am bold ❤️

I am confident ❤️

I love myself ❤️

Gerçek isminin keder olduğunu söyleyene kadar öfkemle uzun süre oturdum.

I sat with my anger long enough, until she told me that her real name was grief.

Me, too❤️🌸🌿

I saw a miracle today and it was this. I had already given up hope but after 2 years with only one withered leaf I get my new flower. This means a lot to me because it shows me that you shouldn't give up too quickly and just take care of it and the shoot will give you a new flower.
