CURRENT MISSION

living to the fullest, just trying to be in harmony with all that surrounds me.

ABOUT ME

I'm in love with the idea of not being easily classified

anyway, I can sum up myself as:

Gentleman by day
Philosopher by night
Hedonist by choice
Clumsy by fate

PHILOSOPHY

"Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back"

"Live and let live"
