About Myself
You know, sometimes it is hard to introduce yourself because you know yourself so well that you do not know where to start with. Let me give a try to see what kind of image you have about me through my self-description. Here it goes:
I am a person who is positive about every aspect of life. I call it Optimistic Joy. There are many things I like to do, to see, and to experience. I like to read, I like to write; I like to think, I like to dream; I like to talk, I like to listen. I love seeing the sunrise in the morning, I like gazing at the moon at night too. I love to listen to music, especially Christian rap and jazz, piano and celo instrumentals. I like to do thought experiments when I'm bored, especially in the middle of the night when I cannot sleep. I like rain, although I don't like to feel cold. I don't like to sleep early, I most likely will not sleep at night. I like to be alone, I like to be surrounded by people. I like my country’s peace. I like noise and buzz of cities, probably because of Takoradi. I like delicious food and comfortable cloths and shoes. I like good books and movies (action, sci-fi, drama, anime). And, I like to laugh.
