"Eli" is what some of people close to me, call me. My name is etymologically a Turkish (Azeri) name which was originally used by nomads in the west of Iran. ILNAZ was the original word; with "IL" meaning "the tribe" and NAZ meaning "the beauty". Little by little in Persian language it turned out to be Elnaz and Eli is its short form (kind of nikename).
To seek and explore more of myself is what I find to be the only path through my primary goal of shedding skin; though I am totally aware of the fact that it hurts.
I think real life begins exactly at the point that you feel scared and if you stop then you're dead.
Also I believe that nothing in the universe could possibly be wasted or useless or uninfluential.
May be it is a helpful piece of info for you to know about me that I have practiced being a teacher more than anything else in my life since I was 17, and I firmly believe that it all (everything) starts from education; and it is not only limited to human species. Teaching is the only way to (practice) see yourself always at the beginning (which at times hurts), and feel the immediate need for "staying humble and just keep reveiwing who is you".
