About Me

First and foremost, I am sorry that I can't accept guests, yet. I am currently living with my sister and my mom so.. I really don't have a say on this situation for the moment but, I'll work on it soon !

I am a Christian by heart. No, I am not the type to hate on others and push my beliefs on your throat. I am the type that follows the 2 greatest commandments:
♥ Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind
♥ LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORS - AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF-
I treat people as I would like myself to be treated. I try my best ( still working on it) to love people even If they treat me badly. I sincerely feel the happiest whenever I am able to make someone smile or whenever I am able to help someone. Money can never give me the same type of Joy and happiness.

My spirit is that of a free one. I do not conform my self to a certain status quo. I go where the wind takes me and enjoy. No, I do not enjoy partying nor getting drunk or "yolo" living per se. What I mean is that, I enjoy my life and live a life of no regrets. I have mentioned being a christian but that doesn't mean I don't drink and don't party or just no fun at all. Yes, I do drink ! ( I love wine and beer and alcohol !) but I don't like drinking to the point of getting a hangover or blackout. I drink to my own limit as I do not need alcohol "to have fun". I do enjoy parties from time to time (though I'm not a party type of person). I love lounges ! Music and a cocktail with awesome conversation and chill ambiance is just PERFECT! I've had my wild party time years ago and well, it just doesn't suit me. I no longer indulge myself in meaningless friendships with no genuine emotions. I prefer a calm friday night with few trusted persons than a crazy alcohol filled parties with unauthentic crowd.

I do not see people's salary or position as their worth. I Don't judge a book by its cover but, I also learned not to judge based on the early chapters. I've met people of different walks of life and you can never judge them as everybody has their own difficulties in life. There is always a reason. It is easy to find people's fault but it brings nothing but destruction. It is hard to find people's goodness and worth but it brings forth healing and restoration. The meanest people you meet might just be the one who has the most broken heart. I like to listen and observe people (no not in a creepy way !). You can learn so much more about a person if you listen sincerely to their stories and if you observe their body language.

I am a dreamer but I also am a realist. I dream BIG! but dreams will remain dreams if you don't work for it ! I dream and I plan and then I pray then I work. I want to do a lot of things. I want to open charity foundations and organisations that will help people from the sex trade, abandoned and orphaned children, abandoned old people and animals. You need money for that, so I have to work. I need a diploma. I need skills and experience so, I need to work! My dreams are never for me alone. There are days that I question myself "Why the hell are you studying this damned course?!", then I would remember all the people I could help when I succeed and I'm okay again. There are people who work to be rich and live *the life*, I work so that I can help make people's lives better. My mom thinks I'm crazy.

I am emotionally and spiritually sensitive in a way that I tend to shed a lot of tears whenever I see injustice and poverty. That being said, I also am very sensitive to violent/gory/bloody scenes. I do not like seeing blood. It disturbs me a lot. I cry a lot. A LOT. I would usually cry really hard like a kid whenever I watch documentaries or news then I end up praying/interceding for these people to the point that there are times I ask God to remove a portion of this big compassion that I have in me because I can't stop crying or I can't breath anymore or I just can't function correctly. It's tough and I'm not even kidding.

There is just sooo much to share about me but I guess, meeting me in person would be the best way to know more and I have a lot of stories to tell ! Like, when I was in prison for 24 hours south africa or when I skydived for my 18th and many many more !
