I never stayed too long in the same place [ Geneva - Switzerland (born); Praia do Ribatejo (3 yrs); Vila Nova da Barquinha (2 yrs); Geneva (8 yrs); Vila Nova da Barquinha (2 yrs); Reguengos de Monsaraz (2 yrs); Évora (3 yrs); Portalegre (4 yrs) and now Lisbon (9 months so far...)], I think that's what made who I am today, happens to everyone I guess, what we are is because of what we were.
I am good with myself and know that I have flaws. One time, I read or heard somewhere that to truly love someone is to love his/her flaws and not his /her good aspects. The good aspects of a person are easy to like, the hard part is to love what everyone else hates (somehow I didn't manage to find loveable flaws yet so I'm stuck with myself and easy-to-like aspects... Doesn't bother me too much, I'm a patient person).
I like what I do, if I didn't I wouldn't be doin' it. It's that simple, my revolutionary formula to happiness. Always enjoy everything you do. If you can't... well... then come to Portugal. The weirdest country in Europe. Everyone here wants to leave, everyone who comes wants to stay. I love it here so I guess I' m gonna stick around for a while doing what I love (full of flaws but hey ! ... somehow I manage to love some of them). I' m a Graphic Designer / Illustrator / graffiti artist / whatever... I' m just a person who enjoys to be happy( and flaws too, if they are loveable... ).
