Hello everyone!

Writing has been a passion of mine since I was in second grade and only now have I decided to take it seriously and try viewing my work to the world.

I write mostly short stories or novellas, but I also have plans for big epic fantasy novels for the near future. Poetry is also a passion, and since English is not my first language I write free - form poetry. 

The themes I address in my works are mostly realistic, dealing with the harsh truths  and struggles of life, the questions of existence and death, the communication issues among humans and between one and his own self, even when the setting is fantastical or undefined. A huge part is inspired by the people and patients I have met during my psychiatry residency, getting to know the real world and the struggle of people better after living a sheltered life for quite a while, especially after my country has been plagued by conflicts, wars and destruction for more than a decade now. 

Each of my stories are influenced by a different thing; some by anime and Chinese novels, others by writers like George Orwell or Anton Chekhov, some by movies especially Tarantino and and Terrance Malik.

I hope you enjoy my work, the one I started with and the upcoming ones, and I wish for your criticism and opinions!
