CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

My friends would describe me as an open, warmhearted person who´s driven to look beyond the obvious or visible and discover as much as she can.
Because it feels quite anonymous to describe yourself in third person :S I will change to first person instead.
What else can I say?
To specify the description "open person" - written above - I can say that I am open towards ideas and people in general and with different (cultural) backgrounds (and what goes with it: belief systems, traditions and attitudes ect.) and try to understand why people behave the way they do.
However I try to be surrounded by people that inspire me and/or lead their lifes in similar ways to mine. The most important points in my life are: spontaneity, Against Racism, being critical, vegetarianism, generosity, feeling, love, to be human, family, good friends, nature, activity (to be continued ...).

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life because I want to sharpen my sensitivity, want to have time for love and have a strong will to help to make a change...

Peaceful warrior:
"There is no starting or stopping, only doing."
