CURRENT MISSION

exploring my new home in this tiny world; the beautiful Swedish Sundsvall!

ABOUT ME

So difficult...Sometimes I'm a speedy butterfly and sometimes I'm quiet...but I'm almost always myself.
Honest,idealistic (and I hope not only because I'm young !)

learning Portuguese in a very slow way...one day...:-),
I love good discussions,I like my rest and do calm things:enjoying a good meal,yoga,...: cocooning.But not for too long...then I get very restless!

I've got something with images: I love photography and I studied dreamanalysing which is the oldest therapy.I'm very visual-minded.

I'm doing tribal fusion belly dance,which was invented in the US.It works with keys.So you don`t need a language to dance with let's say a girl from Egypt and a woman from Norway.And still it will be synchronic...love it!

I like talking,but I also appreciate silence.I have a enormous respect for ancient (or still existing) cultures. So thinking about profounding my travelling passion and doing a master in the antropology after journalism.

I tried much things from playing the saxophone untill circus school (like a weekly activity)but get bored very quick.I want to learn playing hokey.

I love to work with childeren...It's one of my dreams to be a therapist for childeren and to help them with their nightmares...

When I go to a party and I enjoy myself I stay untill it's done.

I love movies which leave me speechless.

I love the sea.I don't smoke.I'm a veggie,but I eat fish.But never say never. Like 'road kill',must have tried that at least once ;-)...I love writing.I have much of energy,but not the less you can not really see..
it's the fire within me burning...

PHILOSOPHY

LIVE

do your thing,be honest to yourself,respect nature,and transform your weakness into your strength.

A coward dies one hundred deaths,while a hero only dies once.

Go find out what your true Zahir is,your passion of a lifetime.Let it grow,have patient and watch.Then when the fire is so big and you can not hold it any longer;let it free on the right time with all the syncronicity of the world.

Treat a person only the way,you would like to be treaten your self.
Never think that you know it all.
Never stop haunting.
Never say never :-)

Listen to childeren,crazy ones and boozers;they've got much wisdom with them.
Try to listen to all living creatures and not only men.

Don't worry about balance,it is an illusion that there would be none.
