Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Make new friends in my new city
ABOUT ME
I absolutely crave new experiences and love to meet new people in the process. I like questioning things, and I have a strong desire to know people, not just meet or chat superficially, but really learn what makes people tick. I always aim to take whatever comes in life and run with it to see where it takes me - I love spontaneous adventures, facing my fears, and trying new things for the first time. I'm an optimist, try not to let a lot of things get to me, and just enjoy and be present in each moment of this crazy life ;)
PHILOSOPHY
"The present moment is the field in which the game of life happens. Once you've made peace with the present moment, see what happens; what you can do, or choose to do, or rather, what life does through you. There are three words which convey the secret of the art of living, the secret of all success and happiness: one with life. Being one with life is being one with now. You then realize that you don't live your life, but life lives you. Life is the dancer, and you are the dance."
