ABOUT ME

I'm Diane.
After a step up North in Sweden (it was too cold), I headed back South, stayed a while in France again, then I headed further South. Now I live in Tunisia (and this summer I will burn - a sense of balance).

I often try to communicate.
I like words (spoken and written) but sometimes they are useless so silence can be good. Music as well (especially music that balances silence). I play the violin (not good).

I can't help questioning things. I also have sharp points of view sometimes.
Confusion is familiar though.
I value (political) commitment (trying to stand in the blur, tied to the other)
Freedom is a premise, responsibility comes along (or the other way around)

I'm often unsatisfied but I'm patient.
I can be ironic and I can also be ridiculous.
I try to be well-meaning (but I don't tolerate everything).
