🤍 LENNON DAY.

My biggest inspiration outside of my family is called John Lennon, and this raises many questions in people: "Why?" and the easiest answer is: "Why not?"

John Lennon is the coolest guy I've ever seen. The vagrant who apologized and improved, the artist who hated his own art but knew he was a genius, the crazy guy in the group who deep down wanted love from everyone, the powerless guy who was always a child who wanted to heal his traumas. Despite all the pain he carried in his soul, his heart was genuine. His somewhat raw sincerity taught me that the truth is what matters. His social and personal maturity taught me that it's okay to make mistakes, but that you have to fix them. His powerful voice in real discussions taught me that I also have a voice and that I have to use it. His bravery in so many situations that would make others weak in the knees taught me to have the courage to be myself. That's what inspiration is, being inspired by the best in others, and in John, I only see the best. Unfortunately, in these 84 years that we celebrate today, we only had the privilege of having him here for 40, but that does not diminish in any way who he was and who he will always be. My love was created by this Inspiration that made me the best version of myself, and on this yet another birthday of John's that I celebrate as a fan, I want you, also a fan of his, to feel the same way I do. Don't be sad that he's not here, but rather that he was. Look at his life with love, affection and respect and take its most important aspects and transform your own life for the better because, as Ringo Starr himself once said, John would love you - but you have to be a little John every day to do that.

John... I love you and may you be celebrated, loved and feel all the love the world has for you on this yet another birthday, wherever you are. Thank you for being you and teaching me to be me.

A “şehzade” was the title given to the sons of an Ottoman sovereign. Roughly translates to “prince” in English. It descends from the Persian word shahzad.

“Çelebi” was another significant title, similar to the word “gentleman” in English.

“Pasha” was a title similar to “lord” usually following behind a person’s name as exemplified with “Mehmed Pasha”.

A “bey” was a turkic equivalent to a chieftain and the territory that they ruled was a “beylik”.

In December of 1971 their public feuding reaches its peak. After John responds to Paul’s Melody Maker interview with a published letter of his own, Paul refuses to take it lying down. When he confronts John in person, however, he realizes something stronger fuels their bitter rivalry—something more worthy of a headline than anything the papers have seen.

“You’re in New York?” John asks, and his subtle disbelief is music to the ears of Paul’s ego.

“Yeah. Just me,” he clarifies pointedly, establishing his own terms. “And it didn’t even take me two years.”
