CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am a nice guy

PHILOSOPHY

I think i came here to play my game and transform into another beauty. I try to play this game gracefully, compassionately and with love.

When i look deeply into someone's eyes, i see that lovely 5 years old child. I want to be friends with that beautiful child.

Let's watch the beauty of the universe, share stories and giggle!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-gezi protests in istanbul.building barricades, resisting,sharing,feeling strong,brave and united with lots of great people who i've never met before. once i and a good friend of mine were under a brutal attack with fog bombs filled with pepper gas. he couldn't move so i had to sit with him in the fog , crying, coughing,feeling as if we would die.then a tiny,17-18 years old girl, with only a small scarf on her face and with some fireproof gloves, took the gas bomb from the ground,ran for 100 meters and threw it back. nothing can make me desperate for the world after that event.
