"Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draws it. Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves." - The Buddha
Hi, you've come to my blog for some reason. I am a web-designer, i sing in a band, and i am also a linguist. I like music, art and travelling, and I want to have a giant african snail. If you want to say something to me, go ahead.
Thank you for your time.
