CURRENT MISSION

Exploring Europe in Real Life

ABOUT ME

I have a hard time to separate me and my philosophy and to be honest that will be one of the main goals for the coming year. For now however you should do it with my philosophy. I am a solipsist, you know.

PHILOSOPHY

I used to think that life is full of paradoxes and that I was no exception. Hard to understand despite all the words spilled. Hard to get despite my eagerness. Hard to catch despite being irresolute.

Along these lines, I am what you can call a quiet chatter. A shy extrovert and a spontaneous introvert. Love to talk about almost everything with almost everyone. Without really understanding what I am saying though.

My book shelfs are full of philosophers because I hate philosophy. I red the bible since I believe God does not exist. I love people because they frighten me. I once quit my study because I liked it to much, I finished it because I didn't care anymore. I call things too easy because when I keep failing and too difficult when they are already done.

Personally I no longer believe in paradoxes though.
