About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making the world a tiny bit nicer to live in.

ABOUT ME
I don't think that it is possible to describe someone in words. You are a different person in different situations.

Ok, this is a very good description of me haha, I think about things A LOT. I like to get to know someone else's view on the world a little bit, so that, one day, I will understand the world a little bit better.

I think that I am mostly a pretty happy person, a person that is truly interested in people and the world, but also someone who's sometimes a little scared. I think following your dreams and taking notice of your feelings is really important. I would like everyone to really feel, and not hide his/hers feelings. Whether those feelings are feelings of happiness, sadness, tranquility or anything in between, all of them need to be acknowledged and the diversity of emotions make you enjoy all of them even more :)

Man, I hate describing myself.

Interests

I love getting lost, listening to people's stories, the feeling of the wind blowing through my hair, going to concerts and movies. I love beautiful places (for example: SWEDEN, MAN I never wanted to leave anymore), silence, how almost dead trees look, drinking tea, vegan food, wearing pretty dresses and knitting. I love reading, going to museums, ironing (YES IRONING, it is such a relaxing thing to do! and with all these big skirted dresses that I have, it is almost necessary to love ironing), cats (one day I will become one, I hope), thinking and most of all: loving.

I also really like watching good movies, movies that have a message, make me think or just make me happy. For example, I really liked 'Into The Wild' (like eveyone..) and 'Biutiful' and 'My Idiot Brother' and 'Boyhood' and '500 Days of Summer' (I LOVE ZOOEY DESCHANEL) and 'Room' and 'Milk' and 'Grand Budapest Hotel' and 'Mary And Max' and 'Boys Don't Cry' and 'Die Wand' and 'Rams'
