ABOUT ME
I like simple things, asking why and trying to say no sometimes
I believe in a society where there will be no exploitation from person to person and no discriminations. A society where people will be in touch with their creative and artistic inner self and in a society where people can live and not simply survive. No racists, no sexists, no fascists, no bosses and respect to our world and everyone-everything that lives on it. I am trying to capture the moment, sometimes I succed others I fail, I am trying to embrace spontaneity, get rid of second thought and remorses.
PHILOSOPHY
*There are no sins
*There is no objective reality
*“Seeking means to have a goal; but finding means to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. You are perhaps indeed a seeker, for in striving towards your goal, you do not see many things that are under your nose.”
*"Your bones aren't made of glass, and so you can take life's knocks, if you let the chances of life go by, eventually your heart will become as dry and riddle as a skeleton"
And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
moments of feeling the world in extremely intense ways (some people call it living)
the feeling of not feeling (not so pleasant but maybe rare)
Teach, Learn, Share
I dont like categorising people, everyone is unique and the same all at once. I like all kinds of people and the meaning is to learn from everyone. However here are some caracteristics that i can see in many people that make me comfortable, cozy and most of all inspire me
*being strong enough to be yourself
*honesty. yes is a yes, no is a no, maybe is a maybe
*adventureness, taking risks, challenging life, life changing decisions taken in a moment
*strong will, determination
*kindness and warmth, people who are not afraid to express their feelings and give hugs when they feel like it
*creativity, expression, feeling yourself through the arts, trying to create
*open-mindness
