CURRENT MISSION

Learning as much as possible by doing things I haven't tried before

ABOUT ME

I'm a peace-loving, empathic and down-to-earth person who enjoys adventures and doing funny things spontaneously. In a certain way I have a childlike nature; I don't want to stop doing things (such as jumping in puddles, building snowmen or rolling in the snow) just because I'm supposed to behave in a certain way. Though growing older, I want to maintain my ability to wonder things like children do. Sometimes I may be a typical Finn (though I hate categorizing) : I can be silent sometimes but it doesn't mean I'm unhappy, I'm just thinking my own thoughts.

PHILOSOPHY

When I despair,remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall.

-Gandhi
