LOVE, DRUGS AND BAD CHOICES: A story of a young man’s journey into maturity.

Growing up as a South-East Asian in a rich Arab country, Vijay grew up with an inferiority complex and paralyzing social anxiety. With a childhood plagued with racism and second-class citizenship, his transition into adulthood was not as easy as the unresolved mental problems he faced as a kid continued to follow him throughout his life. Seeking an escape from his environment he decides to travel to Canada for a better education. It is here that he meets Lanah. A beautiful and fierce Palestinian girl with a highly unstable personality. This is the story of their toxic relationship and how pain, suffering, and a lot of self-realization helped a young- naïve boy turn into a man. Drugs, violence, sex, and a whole lot of bad decisions may not be the most apt way to discover your path to self-realization but goddammit it makes for a crazy adventure. "There is something infantile in the presumption that somebody else has a responsibility to give your life meaning and point ... The truly adult view, by contrast, is that our life is as meaningful, as full and as wonderful as we choose to make it." -- Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion
