**The many lives of Madam Tramazad!**

If my life were a Netflix series, this would be its title.

This is the point where the sound of a sonorous eerie bell comes in. Hehe!

I'm not even sure how I came up with that name; it sounds a little mysterious, and I like it.

To the people who do not know me personally, I'm a little bit of an enigma that they want to decipher. I come from a country with a plethora of cultures and ethnicities. It is easier to just categorize people where they belong and create a strong opinion about them. However, with me, it is a little bit of a puzzle because it seems growing up, I picked up a little bit of everything - family traits, environmental/cultural influence, movie characters, and the innate traits in me.

All of these came together to create a delicate yet admirable collage that is me. Hence, most people cannot outrightly place me in a group without getting into a bit of a maze and I find it really interesting when they struggle. Hehe.

Still bordering on versatility, sometimes I feel like I've lived many lives. Perhaps it is in the way I try to insert myself in people's stories and try to find empathy and justification where others find it hard to see. It is easy for me to understand a person’s perspective as though I've lived that life before.

Sometimes, I come across places and scenes in movies and magazines and I instantly feel like I've been there before - smelled the air, walked the streets, and been an inhabitant.

I am principled and grounded but I find myself acting on impulse a lot. I draw inspiration from the littlest things and suddenly it becomes something I make part of my life long list. That is why I want to keep traveling the world, learning new skills every day, share quality time with loved ones, make lots of money, help people in need, and live out the rest of my life connecting with my essence and rediscovering self.
