Düsünen,üreten,hayati anlamli yasayan+mucadeleci insani severm (Koca,cocuk,araba vs baskasina pazarlasinlar; iftiralara da bos ovgu ve yergiye de karnim tok). Hayat kisa ve yapmak istediklerim var. Kotu-bos tenekelerden uzak, saglikli+guzel gunlere, sevgi dolu-komplexsiz ruhlarla🍀Onwards! #explorers

#Migraines continue to be debilitating,making social life impossible at times.(u get angry, cannot even talk-listen,pushing ur limit). Academics are the most productive in their 40s, so you prioritize that to feel alive and celebrate life! 🍀🪬☀️

Demanding year. 1st real break. Mandatory digital detox: 5 days offline to reset, then moving into a deep work/research summer. Priorities matter, but so does taking care of oneself. See you all in a few months, take care! 🌿🌊 #deepwork #recharge #wellbeing

Bugun aldigim guzel haber sagolsun. Bir sure beyinde tumor bilgisiyle yasadim. Yetkin bir beyin cerrahi bunun bugun tumor olmadigini soyledi. Sükür! Feeling grateful to learn that I dont have a brain tumor (was living w this bad news for at least a month) #gratitude #process #relief #breathing

Do I have connections in the US,UK+other diplomatic circles? Some are profoundly ignorant+they still dont know who they're attacking. When I take action,it means I've waited long enough+I know what I'm doing.Time to detox&go to the concert! ⬇️ Tchaikovsky restaurant @HotelMoskva (Moscow) in Belgrade🍸
