PHILOSOPHY:
I believe people can live without hatred. The world is too unfair and inperfect. I strive to work on myself in this surrounding. That's what I've got power on. It's a great challenge (to try to be a human in this somewhat inhumane world).
It's about sharing and caring, meeting awesome people, discovering new interests and cultures...
