About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Want to take my life to a higher level!

ABOUT ME

I am a crazy, enthusiastic, lively girl. But I can also be stubborn, shy (although I don't seem so), lazy and impatient. (in fact I can say more negative than positive things about myself, is that normal?) I AM open-minded, but I also have to admit that I can have a lot of prejudices. That depends on my mood actually. Sometimes I have comments on everything and everyone and sometimes I see myself as a real pacifist.
I don't like to choose, because I want everything at a time (too much in fact). "To choose is to lose"; I hate that idiom!
Oh, and I get freckles at summer!
