ABOUT ME

It's not easy to describe myself. I don't think I would describe myself coherently. I would do it now and one hour later I would be changing it, and you would get very, very confused. Hence, I've thought that I could think of how my mom would describe me. She would say that I'm a nice person, open-minded, very imaginative ("stop dreaming", she would like to tell me sometimes) and passionate about what I like (sometimes too much. "You sing very loudly", my mom used to tell me). She would add that I enjoy meeting people from around the world and that if I could, I would be travelling around the world to meet people from around the world. She would also say that I am smiling most of the time (I still need to learn how to get angry) and that, when I'm at home, I'm most all the time at my computer listening to music and typing (she does not know it, but I'm writing stories). And finally, she would whisper that she's got to know that I wander before going to sleep (she's right, I love wandering). I know this description looks nice and positive. I could probably be the friend that everybody likes or even the son that every mother dreams about. Well, after all, it was my mother's description.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live my life the way I'd like to (it's not easy)
