About Me

**suenha, estima era Tèrra**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdTnvGo2csQ

hello fellow wanderers, strangers.. magic creatures of Life.

I am Rita, a girl with passion for the things I believe in..

a tireless political activist
in love with life and Nature,
art, illustration and crafts
amazed by natural births
a hard worker graphic designer..

I am an outdoors creature, I need to feel the sun and the wind in my skin. it energizes me. I wish I could have more contact with Nature, though living in a city is difficult. but I always love to scape to the mountains when I can..

I love drawing! with a notebook, pen and some colors I am the happiest girl. a portrait, an object, spaces, animals.. whatever, whenever, with music and a cup of tea.. I love creating things with my hands!

aaaaah I love smiles. smiling makes oneself and the world more beautiful. I like people who smile unpretentiously and I love when they do without any particular reason! if you smile to me the first time you will forever be in my heart

love and smiles to you all!

philosophy
At random I am grateful for three gifts: having been born a woman,
of low class and oppressed nation.
And the turbid azure of being three times a rebel.

Maria Mercè Marçal, Cau de llunes.
