** I don’t live in ISTANBUL—please check my location before sending a request! **

I want to learn and understand things that bring me joy. I'm patient; immediate gratification is not my goal.

I dislike superficial knowledge and the fleeting pleasure it offers. I prefer to earn my understanding through hard work and dedication.

I believe life is fair. If you see it differently, that’s your perspective.
You get what you pay for — we reap what we sow.

Thanks for keeping me on the map!
