About Me
- About Me: Well, let's say Vera is a passionate, honest and untamed person. She lives her life to the fullest but always trying not to hurt anyone. Vera is the kind of person who loves to experience and understand new emotions, feelings and situations. She is a dreamer. Vera is in search of her inner self... This is the quote that best describes me: “I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.” by Paulo Coelho in The Alchemist. I live by this book!
