1. drinking/eating chocolate. Although I should cut down on sugary food, chocolate is impossible to resist. It’s one of my smalll,simple and inexpensive pleasures and I do not feel like dropping it for anything else in the world-ok, maybe for wonderful moments spent with my boyfriend. 😉 (he’ll read it and he’ll smile, for sure! then, he will tell me he doesn’t believe me!)
2. writing. Writing is my breath and the one thing that gives meaning to my life and my existence. I’ve said how important writing is about a million times, so I’ll keep it simple and concise; writing constitutes 50% of my happiness and joy.
3. spending moments with loved ones. Friends,family,my wonderful boyfriend; all these people have something to give, something of great and irreplaceable value; love, understanding, advice, tolerance. Every moment spent with them is a lesson I need to pay attention to.
4. travelling. I travelled to around 40 cities so far (I recently updated my tripadvisor profile and I was pleasantly surprised at the number) and I intend on travelling to many more, and of course, see the world outside Europe! Next stop; who knows where? 🙂
5. searching weheartit.com. I like how some things on this image-sharing website are kept simple and beautiful; images of dogs, christmas trees, food, london, e.t.c. I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of this endless source of beauty and emotions.
6. learning. Constantly learning is a great delight for my soul; reading books that enlighten me, reading pieces on the internet that shed light on unknown things/fields, these are daily pleasures.
7. reading books. I am pretty diverse when it comes to genres, so I can read a little bit of this and that without prejudice or elitism. I love reading and this is the main reason why I want to work in the publishing sector.
8. listening to music. Well, what an obvious pleasure! 😉 music soothes my soul and makes my mind travel. Nostalgia, melancholia, joy, I am overwhelmed by emotions whenever I listen to my mp3 or youtube.
9. looking forward to Christmas. Decorating the Christmas tree, preparing the table for New Year’s or Christmas day, seeing one of my most intimate friends who studies abroad, my sister coming home for Christmas; the list can go on for some time. All these moments are flooded with positive emotions, like love and warmth.
10. drinking wine. Yes, I like getting wasted with wine, since it’s the only alcoholic drink I can put up with! The rest are completely tasteless for me and frankly, I would rather drink nothing than drink something I don’t really like. So, wine for me it is! 😉
