The death of Ece İrtem, one of the beloved actors of Turkish television, at the age of 35 has plunged the art community into deep sorrow. Following the news of the young actor's passing, her statements made on a television program she recently attended have come to the forefront again.
"WHEREVER FATE TAKES ME"
Ece İrtem, a guest on the program "Bambaşka Sohbetler" hosted by Ceyda Düvenci, had shared sincere expressions about her understanding of life and destiny. Her response to Düvenci's question "So, where to now?" took on a completely different meaning after the news of her death.
"Wherever fate takes me," said İrtem, describing how she viewed life with these words:
"I trust a lot, I entrust everything to God. As a human, we dwell on too many things. It seems to me that everything we dwell on and get upset about also hurts Him. He sent us here for an experience, to be grateful, and for love. Now I am letting myself relax."
"THE BEST IS YET TO COME"
The successful actor also shared her thoughts on career and life anxieties during the program. Stating that her experiences had taught her important lessons, İrtem continued her words as follows:
"A job came? Anyway, it will somehow reveal itself which one I should choose. Or a job didn't come? The best is yet to come, this process taught me that. It wasn't worth stressing over because when the job came, I was left only with my sadness, only with my worry."
"I COULD HAVE SPENT IT SMELLING THE FLOWERS"
Drawing attention to the importance of life's small but precious moments, İrtem expressed that looking back, she could have acted differently with these words:
"I could have spent that process smelling the flowers, maybe kissing my aunt twice more."
These words of the actor, who passed away at a young age, have once again moved her loved ones after the news of her death. Many users on social media expressed how meaningful these statements reflecting İrtem's view of life and destiny are.
