The motto I live by is to have serenity to accept the changes I cannot change, change the things I can, and wisdom to learn the difference.

I’ve had people often tell me:

“You smile too much”
I really do love smilling because smilling radiates the best energy out of me that I could share with the people around me, and hey that’s just who I am!

“You are way too calm and slow paced for a black belt taekwondo player”
Believe me, Sometimes even I ask my self if I could try to be less calm about certain things but some say that’s the best about me so why change it.

“You are so young yet so old”; young by age but too mature when it comes to almost everything else. Don’t know if I should say ’blame’ but I blame it on the fact that I’ve had so many experiences in my childhood, some terrific that made me the good I am today and was taught many lesson at an early age and some horrible experiences that killed the child in me too early, Hahaha just kidding, I’m not that deep and dark; I am kinda deep but not dark at all.

I am a 23 year old Kurdish living in Seoul, Korea and an Architecture, Civil, and Environmental Engineering student, whose best chilling scene is to have my favorite drinks (scotch or irish whiskey on the rocks, and straight bourbon) on my right hand in a beautifully angled whiskey crystallic cubic glass... marry that with classic jazz or blues of the 70s-90s sitting in the breeze with my favorite people on a beach off an aqua blue colored sea shore and white fine sand wearing a black and red baggy nike muscle shirt and flip flop with white cargo shorts and a rottweiler buddy resting on my left by my foot reciting the lyrics of the song watching the sunset.

I’ll leave the rest about me for you to find out!
