My family has always loved nature and my dad and I had always wanted to live in a house and have our own garden.<br><br />And about my profile... I might have said it wrong, but what I meant was that I have a sense of humour and that I'm not tall (which gives me a different perspective on things). I also aspire to be a writer somehow.<br />Thanks again for all your lovely thoughts!Laviniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077833136741791230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879480942536914715.post-1626660046318686812011-03-06T20:12:20.417+02:002011-03-06T20:12:20.417+02:00This is amazing, Lavi. I know almost nothing abou...This is amazing, Lavi. I know almost nothing about Romania! How sad that there is so much talent and so many creative, brilliant minds and yet, that you're being given so little rocognition as a nation. That is shameful! <br /><br />I would LOVE to know more about your country and the life you had while growing up. You have alluded to it once or twice (in comments on my blog), but have not offered any details. I so enjoyed the post you did on TEA, and there, you mentioned how you and your family would go into the mountains to source fresh leaves. That sounds so incredibly romantic/rustic/rural and special to me...so vastly different from my own experiences of life. <br /><br />It's obvious you've had an excellent education - your writing is gifted, inspired, intellectually provoking. And I'm astounded by your proficiency in English, not only that you're so fluent, but that you're able to express yourself so deeply and poetically!<br /><br />I am really enjoying your blog...and BTW what a LOVELY, new photograph! You are beautiful! I have wondered why you describe yourself as 'a funny little person' ??? Now that you've enlightened me on the underlying mindset of your countrymen, how 'repressed' you've been...would that have anything to do with it? I think you're an incredible young woman...bright, talented, lovely! I'd NEVER describe you as 'a funny little person!' and I'm sure your Mother doesn't (even if your brother does!!!) Perhaps you should change that, in your profile? PROJECT YOURSELF! You have no need to ridicule/denigrate who you are!!!!!!!!!!!Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.com
