INSPIRE YOU: happiness is only real when shared.

I have an OVERWHELMING PASSION for LIFE and FEELINGS :)

I'm enthusiastic, sensitive, curious, positive, sensible, open-minded, creative, passionate, friendly, honest, talkative, intuitive, competitive and straightforward but NOT PERFECT AT ALL ;)

My CONTRADICTIONS ... someone said ... someone else said:
I'm wise as a Guru, a Peter Pan never grown;
interesting-boring;
supportive-selfish;
humile-arrogant;
an experienced man, a naive child;
a sociable leader, a lone wolf.

I think to be all of them because I've a contract with life ... to be COMPLETE ;)

Two the main features of my behaviour: the passionate and romantic side, about people and life with great enthusiasm, and the realistic-cinical one against stupidity/superficiality and people who give up or be content with what life offers.

I'm not a reactive person (who waits for events) but proactive one (I'm looking for events) nor I want to hope or wait for something which never happen if I don't fight for it.

I like enjoying life in every way, possibly with other people because "there is no happiness without sharing" (from the movie "Into the wild").

PHILOSOPHY

From MOVIES and BOOKS
"Happiness is only real when shared" (Into the wild).
"You make me want to become a better man" (As good as it gets).
"Has anything you've done, made your life better?" (American history X).
"The past is gone, the future has still to happen, so we must live the present because it's a gift. That's why it's called "present" (Kung fu panda).
"There is no God in me nor in you but in the space between us, that is in what we share" (Before sunrise).
"Life is too short to waste time in order to find athe nswers. Better to enjoy the questions" (Paolo Coelho).
"Don't be content: follow what you love otherwise you'll love what you'll find (Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi).
" The world changes with your example not with your opinion" (Paolo Coelho).

MY PHILOSOPHY
No excuses and skip the bullshit! You are the ONLY OWNER of your life
Every song has an ending, but is there any reason not to enjoy the music?
Stop being afraid ... do it!
If you don't live for something you will die for nothing
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain
1.000 remorses rather 1 regret
Enjoy YOUR life instead of wasting time thinking life is bad. Be angry and negative could be a CHOICE but not the SOLUTION.
Find your shadow: the sun is behind you.
Close your eyes and feel the people.
Open your eyes and start to live.
You were born as an original. Don't die as a copy.
Find harmony, first, inside you, then around you.
Believe in your dreams: when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

LOVE and SEX
Conquer her mind and you'll have also her heart
LOVE is the power of life, the "medicine" of human sickness, anyway, SEX is a wonderful "drug" if shared spontaneously.
MAN --> "There are two things that I really really enjoy in life ... the second one is travelling" :))) by Roberto Benigni
WOMAN --> For whole their lives women wait for the Prince Charming ... in the meanwhile they get married
