..Going somewhere...​

I'm not sure where, or when, or even really what it's all about, but I know how it ends (jeremiah 29:11), and I'm trusting that God is perfecting and completing in me all those things that He's started...
...so don't try to stop me... I'm already on my way, and going somewhere...​

I´ve read once that describing ourselves is the same of putting limits to who we are, and that´s surely something I have no intention of doing here =)
Hi there!Greeti​ngs from Brazil! = ) I am Helen ... nice to meet you! =) I have a real passion for knowing different cultures, languages and making new friends! I love diversity and I´m a really curious person =)
A few things I love to do: studying, reading, being with my family and friends, nature and animals in general, environmenta​l issues,  photography,​ History and Geography, missions, music - singing and  playing the piano and guitar added here =), snail mail - love it since I was a little kid! =), movies, concerts and theater, being close to the nature, translation and interpretati​on, travelling (loooove it!), Poland and cultures in general are some of my interests...​do you want to be my new friend? Just send me a message and I will be more than happy in writing you back! =)
Hope to hear from you soon! =)
Have an awesome day! =)

Anyone looking for a true and honest friendship..​.
...people interested in talking about life, cultures, languages is more than welcome! =)
I love snail mail - but e-mails are fine for me too : ) It is all about writing! =)
***I´m not looking for love or romance - so don´t waste your time in trying to write to me if you have wrong expectations​ - I´m kind of sick of guys saying "you´re​ sexy, pretty... blah, blah, blah" ... write me if you want a FRIEND, if you have something interesting to say and we really have a lot in common... other than that... I won´t write you back... sorry :( People are a lot more than they how they look on their outside... knowledge lasts,beauty​ is relative and comes to an end someday... so hang on to something that no one can steal from you and that makes you who you really are ... search always for knowledge and change your world =)
***If you think that Brazilians and are always looking for love... here comes my European heritage and education (Polish and Spanish blood running in my veins =))... I´m not =)
***No people asking for money or talking about great websites to buy products that makes you slim and blah blah blah... I´m happy with myself =)
Other than that... anyone is more than welcome!
