    I\\\\\\\'m a third culture kid, a thinker, a bit of a contrarian, existing on a fault line of cultural and philosophical leanings. It\\\\\\\'s hard to strongly affiliated with any particular group, set of ideas, mindset or ways of being... but I definitely identify as Muslim, and don\\\\\\\'t necessarily advertise it. I find commonality with many different types of people, of varying demographics and backgrounds. Most of my friends do not know one another, and that\\\\\\\'s ok. Community is nice, family is great, but not everyone is afforded these blessings or privileges; sometimes the cards we\\\\\\\'re dealt aren\\\\\\\'t ideal... what\\\\\\\'s ultimately more important is what we make of it. I value and respect conventional wisdom and tradition, but I do not believe in being bound by it. Progress, evolution and refinement is a continuous process. I find it hard to fit in any of one box... and a waste of time and energy. There\\\\\\\'s a lot out there to explore, enjoy and be exposed to... might as well enjoy the ride and have an open mind.

I like people with depth, high intelligence in some form or other qualities like a fun loving nature, good sense of humor or an amazing capacity of empathy and love. It\\\\\\\'s late and I\\\\\\\'m tired, but more to come here later.
