ABOUT ME

Things that make me happy:

sea glass, coffee, cooking, vintage markets, sunlight, dejavu, the smell of books (books in bed), baths, craft beers, rolled cigarettes, smiles from strangers, quirky films,meat, chivalry, notes left on counters, cobblestones, children's eyes, ocean, whales, writing, laughing, photos, warrior quotes, sunlight through my window, eating, when you add 'ino(a)' to an Italian noun in order to make it smaller, Irish accents, sushi, soup, chocolate, spontaneity, surprises, fine whiskies, soft dog ears, bluegrass, tomatoes,

Things that make me not so happy:

passive aggressiveness, stepping in poo, bad smells, a poorly cooked meal, being too comfortable, pretentious poetry, overcooked meat, being lied to, the word 'idiot', forgetting birthdays, soft mattresses

PHILOSOPHY

"Watch your thoughts, because they become words.
Watch your words, because they become actions.
Watch your actions, because they become habits.
Watch your habits, because they become your character.
Watch your character...
because it becomes your destiny."

-Plato
