About Me

CURRENT MISSION

pour a daydream in a cup!

ABOUT ME

I'm addicted to drama movies, to rainy days, to long deep talks, to talkative people, to silent people, to kisses, to hugs, to love, to laugh, to dream, to daydream, to observe, to remember, to forget, to write, to learn, to share.

I love love
I love life
I love my family
I love my friends
I love talking to strangers
I love kids
I love having a walk
I love listening
I LOVE blogging
I love the fact we can change
I love resilience
I love honesty
I love trusting others
I love trying
I love ice cream, frozen strawberries and kiwi!
I love phonecalls
I love rain, I really wish I lived in a rainy place!!
I love having theories about many things because it makes me think and I love thinking and I love thinking that there might be someone out there kinda thinking the way !

I don't have a fave colour.

And I have two favourite words in english, which are: dazzling and absurd.

I can be nuts, I can be absurd, I can talk in circles and make no sense at all. It is quite annoying!

My personality according to a test:

ENFP
Extraverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving
ENFPs are initiators of change, keenly perceptive of possibilities. They energize and stimulate others through their contagious enthusiasm. They prefer the start-up phase of a project or relationship, and are tireless in the pursuit of new-found interests. ENFPs are able to anticipate the needs of others and to offer them needed help and appreciation. They bring zest, joy, liveliness, and a zany sense of fun to all aspects of their lives. They are at their best in situations that are fluid and changing, and that allow them to express their creativity and use their charisma. They tend to idealize people, and can be disappointed when reality fails to fulfill their expectations. They are easily frustrated if a project requires a great deal of follow-up or attention to detail.

PHILOSOPHY

If you're careful enough, nothing good or bad will ever happen to you, there's never a better time than now to get on or get out of a boat.

"We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass of wine"

"Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy" - Anne Frank

"Without exception, every human being has the ability to transform any weakness or suffering into strength, power, perfect peace, health, and abundance."

"I promise myself to be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind" Christian D. Larson
