​“You​ must be the change you wish to see in the world.”  Gandhi​​

Hi
I'm ​Chiara​​ from Italy, I'm  ​23​​ and study languges at the university.
I love talking to people, I think that trying to discover and understand others helps me to learn more about myself. I'm a ​positive​​ and ​energetic​​ girl with a wide sense of humor, but also thoughtful, ​sensitive​​ and  ​open-minded​​... I'm not good at describing myself, and I prefer people to see the way I am, instead of being me suggesting it with my own words.
I try and live life at my best, thinking that bad moments are those that let you appreciate  better ones even more.

Even if it's not always easy, I try to face up to life with a smile on my face, it helps me and others in living it better...

          ​

I really love Eng​lish​ language, so Eng​lish​ speakers are more than welcome ;-)

Everybody's welcome to drop a line but please no money requests or marriage proposals

Don't add me as a friend out of the blue, I won't accept.

I'd say I'm addicted to the ​sea​,​ doesn't matter about the season, I just love living close to it and enjoy all its aspects, from a walk on the shore at sunset after a bath, to a cold gale in a winter night.

I really love sports: I've played volleyball for 10 years and now I'm practicing martial arts (Kung Fu and Tai Chi), and really love them!
I also like reading (and the more I can I read books in original language), love watching movies (both to the cinema and on DVDs), listening to music, and of course chatting and meeting new people.

I listen a lot of music. U2 are my favourites, but i also have a very wide range of artist that I like: Rock,classic​al, pop, that is from Mozart to the Oasis, passing through James BLunt,  the Cure, the Beatles, David Bowie, Rolling Stones, Cramberries,​ and others... (Italians: Elisa, Negramaro, Giorgia, Jovanotti...​)

​Sometimes​ there's no need to say a word...​​


          ​


​Here's​ a song that reminds me of somebody really special for me...​​

          ​

"Que​ eu não perca a
LUZ E O BRILHO NO OLHAR,
mesmo sabendo que muitas coisas que verei no mundo
escurecerão meus olhos... "
May I not lose the light and the brightness in my eyes, even knowing that many things I’ll see in the world can dark my eyes.​

Um​ pequeno grão de alegria é esperança
dentro de cada um é capaz de mudar e transformar
qualquer coisa, pois...
A VIDA É CONSTRUÍDA NOS SONHOS E
CONCRETIZADA​ NO AMOR !
A small grain of hapiness and hope inside each one of us is capable to change and transform anything, because...
THE LIFE IS BUILT IN THE DREAMS AND REALIZED IN LOVE!​

​Never​ take someone for granted,
Hold every person close to your heart,
because you might wake up one day and realize,
that you've lost a diamond,
while you were too busy collecting stones.​​


The​re was a wonderful arousing moon looking down that night. And there was me, looking up at her soft light, feeling her arms of light embracing me. What was she looking for? Who would have been chosen to be found by her rays? Only pure souls are allowed to be kissed by her enlightened lips, only pure hearts are able to understand how unique it is.​


All the pain crying out from the world becomes a soft noise digging softly in the silence of my tears​

"Who's​ to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know which way the wind will blow"​

"We breathe. We pulse. We regenerate. Our hearts beat. Our minds create. Our souls ingest. 37 seconds, well used, is a lifetime. "
