I am here for Friends

About Me

"Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies." ~Mother Teresa
"All that we call human history--money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery, is the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.~C.S. Lewis
"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."~ John 8:12 &dagger
"All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on."~Havelock Ellis
I dream of travelling the world, meeting new people and falling in love again. I feel frustrated and thankful at the same time, I want to see the world, meet people from every country ,live their lives, feel their culture and experience a different way of life. I struggle with the differences of what I want to do, and what is possible. I like my conveniences, but welcome challenges.
I am a good girl with a fragile heart who is still working on eliminating negative things from life.I am the one that got away, the one that is passionate about life and about you. I am scared of the future but also welcome it.
My faith in God guides me to be a better person, to feel the burdens of others and to hopefully make a difference in this world we live. I believe in forgiveness, even though my heart often feels blackened. I pray for peace on this planet, and hope that good people can make this world a better place.
I cherish the unconditional love of my Mother, Father, two brothers, Eme & Abby and my beautiful friends......I spend most of time working my tail off and staying busy through classes, volunteering, reading, travelling and going to the gym..... ..
