ABOUT ME
I must say ... I was a very nieve person to the world I live in, I was constantly told that this was my first life that I was "new" or "fresh" should I put it! However I was very happy living in my own dream world were nothing went wrong, world of unicorns, little knomes and clounds but I always felt that I was missing something....I was forever searching....I still dont believe Ive found it but im certinly getting closer!......I have spent the last two years travelling around the world mainly Latin America......and my god have I been knocked out of that little world in the clouds I once lived in! ...tumbling and falling to the ground like an anchor hitting the oceans floor! I have learnt, developed and grew so much as a person......Ive now seen with my own two eyes what is going on in world...which we see adverts`on the tv pleading for donnations with the help of the faces of beautiful poor children, with their large deep sad eyes staring at you dragging you in like a giant wave, togther in harmony with an equally disturbing melody melody.......However our attention is then strayed away by the oncoming advert about erm lets say a new low fat ice cream which will help us to stay slim.....as "aparently" thats the only thing thats important to us these days in the capatilst world!
I have many dreams, often I dream awake......I want to help the unpreviliged. Like my favorite quote says "I know I cant change the world....but I can change the world for 1 person"!

"Life isnt about finding yourself but about creating yourself!"
