About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to improve myself

ABOUT ME

I like the smell of clean clothes and shallots slowly frying, benches, watching my fingers rolling a cig, blue skies, darkness, being under pressure, a plane taking off, picking a book from the library, q-tipping my ears, the feeling of throwing a pot, sitting down in a cinema chair, a full moon, ginger, the sun warming my face, orange Wednesdays and plunging my fingers into my dog's hair.

I don't like house wines, energy wasting, leads and chains, mono eyebrows, crockery in the sink, fake flowers, scale in the kettle, sub bass, being cold, climbing mountains, high heels, the expression "like", making my bed, feeling guilty, corporations and empty vases.

But I might change mmind

PHILOSOPHY


“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
Albert Camus
