Hello! A bit about me... I'm very open, honest and friendly. I functional well in environments where I can follow my own rules and truly embody my free-spirited nature. However, I come from a very tradition Iranian-Armenian background, so I can navigate most spaces and situations with care, respect and love. I try to really understand people and not to box them up! I enjoy talking about books and sharing poetry, drinking tea, taking photos (mostly 35mm), and making various forms of art - from painting, to crafting, to music - you name it. I love connecting with people's spirits, going deep and healing together. I carry a powerful fiery energy with me wherever I go : ~ ) And last but not least, I love to dance, it centers me and can uplift my mood at any given moment.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love various types of music.. jazz, folk, blues, ska, reggae, rock, indie, worldly, etc. Love sharing music and always open to exploring new terrain.

I don't watch a lot of movies but when I do I enjoy a wide variety...

Since I graduated from university I've decided to part from western analytic philosophy for a while. I'm mostly interested in political philosophy, theories of race and gender as well as anything related to art and aesthetics.

Nowadays I read a lot of critical theory, poetry, spiritual, fiction, historical and (auto)biographical material. I've also been studying some astrology here and there.
