About Me

I am an easygoing, down to earth person who loves life and appreciates its beauty. I hope to bring joy to others and promote peace. My approach to life is simple, i believe in spreading love and kindness wherever i go, acknowledging others with smile and making the world a better place through acts big and small.
I enjoy playing sports and fashion is big part of my life. I believe we all have a lot to say. But, finding the right way to say it is more than half the battle.
when I'm not killing myself at gym and at work, you can find me being on road and hike my way through mountains.

PHILOSOPHY:
The closer you get to excellence in your life, the more friends you'll lose. People love you when you're average because it makes them comfortable. Or they love you as long as you fit in their box. But when you pursue greatness or grow outside of the box it makes people uncomfortable. Be prepared to lose some people on your journey or even walk alone. If you’re in the awakening process, then part of the path will involve solitude and aloneness, sometimes for years at a time. Your willingness is really of no concern when it comes to Truth, it will take you on the path whether you like it or not. Fix your relationship with yourself.

Spend all your time with negative people and you will become like them. Why? Because you'll pick up their habits, behaviors, energy and their attitudes. Be with people who can contribute to your growth and not your death in life and you'll be Happy. Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.

You will feel like the world has ended. I promise, it hasn’t. Life will go on, slowly. A new normal will come, slowly. No matter how bad a day feels, it is only a day. When you go to sleep crying, you will wake up to a new day. Grief comes in waves. You might be okay one hour, not okay the next. Okay one day, not okay the next day. Okay one month, not okay the next. Learn to go with the flow of what your heart and mind are feeling. Don’t shut people out. Don’t cut yourself off from relationships. You will hurt yourself and others. No one will respond perfectly to your grief. People–even people you love–will let you down. Friends you thought would be there won’t be there, and people you hardly know will reach out. Be prepared to give others grace. Be prepared to work through hurt and forgiveness at others’ reactions. Take time to process and heal. Liquor, sex, drugs, hobbies, work, relationships, etc., will not take the pain away. If you are using anything to try and numb the pain, it will make things worse in the long run. Seek help if you’re dealing with the sorrow in unhealthy ways. It’s okay to ask for help. It’s okay to need people. It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay. Grief can be beautiful and deep and profound. Don’t be afraid of it. Walk alongside it. You may be surprised at what grief can teach you.

One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished. Nobody plays this life with marked cards, so sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Do not expect anything in return, do not expect your efforts to be appreciated, your genius to be discovered, your love to be understood. Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away. Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished. This may sound so obvious, it may even be difficult, but nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need. Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but because that no longer fits your life. Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust. Stop being who you were, and change into who you are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people around the wold is the best way to destroy all the fear and correct cultural stigma caused by the media which stops people from really opening up to each other. it enables individuals to form lasting friendships and engage in extraordinary conversations with diverse perspectives, resulting in a powerful tool for promoting intercultural understanding. I'm good at reading people.
