About Me

Back in my hometown Ankara for some time, if you are passing by, say hi!

I am currently living with my girlfriend and most of the time we have a spare double bed to share.

Below is my profile as I wrote years ago. Nothing changed much, so I leave as it is:

CURRENT MISSION

there is no mission, only living life passionately !

ABOUT ME

I always found self-descriptions silly 'cause I tend to flatter myself...

PHILOSOPHY

"An assumption develops that you cannot understand life and live life simultaneously. I do not agree entirely. Which is to say I do not exactly disagree. I would say that life understood is life lived. But the paradoxes bug me, and I can learn to love and make love to the paradoxes that bug me. And on really romantic evenings of self, I go salsa dancing with my confusion."
