This is me damn it!

"There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout: This is me damn it!
I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me...or leave me. Accept me or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad, you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you."

Enjoy the ride

Tehran

For me, it's heaven on earth. The reason I breath and wake up every morning is because of this magnificent city. I count down the days till my return. The green of the nature is something different, a green that cannot be seen any where, the smell of the rain makes you so crazy that you want to run out and inhale as much as you can. Having the mountains as the backbone of the city makes you feel strong and feel like there is nothing that can hurt or destroy this city. and no the blue of its sky is not the same as any where else (well at least the same as the places that I have visited).

I have one wish and that is for my beautiful Tehran to always stand tall and shine.

Quoting Marjane Satrapi "Tehran with all its ugliness will in my eyes forever be the “bride” of all cities around the world."

So from 9.914 kilometers (flight distance) away, just know that I miss you DEEPLY.

My Next Life

Golden Friends

All right, I will dedicate this post to someone I love. Someone who has ALWAYS been there for me, not a step ahead, not a step behind but ALWAYS by my side. I have shared MANY wonderful memories with this fantastic young lady and though we have been apart for some years now, I am proud to say we are closer than ever.

I wish I was by your side on this special day, but sadly I can't. But I want to take a quick minute or two to remind you that when you walk to get that degree hold your head up high and be proud of not just what you achieved in university but what you have accomplished in the past 22 years. You are truly an amazing person who is full of joy and happiness and is always a pleasure to have around. You have been in my life for 8 golden years and I hope you plan to stick around for many many more cause I believe this is just the beginning.

“I hope your dreams take you... to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes, to the windows of your opportunities, and to the most special places your heart has ever known.”

Miss Y.A...I CONGRATULATE YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART <3

Beauty of a Woman

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.
-Audrey Hepburn

ایران

اگر ايران به جز ويران‌سرا نيست من اين ويران‌سرا را دوست دارم
اگر تاريخ ما افسانه‌رنگ است من اين افسانه‌ها را دوست دارم
نواي ناي ما گر جان‌گداز است من اين ناي و نوا را دوست دارم
اگر آب و هوايش دل‌نشين نيست من اين آب و هوا را دوست دارم
به شوق خار صحراهاي خشکش من اين فرسوده‌پا را دوست دارم
من اين دل‌کش زمين را خواهم از جان من اين روشن‌سما را دوست دارم
اگر بر من ز ايراني رود زور، من اين زورآزما را دوست دارم
اگر آلوده ‌دامانيد، اگر پاک من اي مردم، شما را دوست دارم
