ABOUT ME

Hello and good day to you all!

My name is Mark Marijnissen. I am currently a bachelor student Artificial Intelligence at the Radboud University in Nijmegen. But that's just my study. [Edit: got my bachelor]

I am starting up my own business in which I try to be a graphic/web/software-designer. Oh how I would love to work over the internet! Then I could travel the world while working for myself <3 But that's just my job. [Edit: doing that right now!]

I like to party and enjoy the nightlife. I enjoy going out solo to meet new people. I always enjoy it when I meet people that are able to drop their shields and put their personality on the line. That's when you see the real person.

I enjoy meditating, and the clarity of thoughts and mindfulness it brings. I am interested in the buddhist philosophy, and in psychology and self-development in general. I like to grow as a person by stepping out of my comfort zone. I like to confront my fears. I like having new experiences.

So that's who I am. I study, work, party and meditate while I love creativity, authenticity, and people in general.

PHILOSOPHY

I value loving-kindness and compassion.
I value social and emotional intelligence.
I value seeing the things as they are.

I like independent people who are decisive and like to take action.
I like creative people with their own innovative ideas.
I like people who confront their fears.

I believe the self is always shining through - so why keep up appearances?
I believe happiness is in the eye of the beholder - it depends on your own judgements, not on the world.
