That have a distinguished voice, that have magnetic auras. People who are generous. Generous when they talk to you, when they touch you, when they hug, generous people in action. You know these &#8220;beautiful&#8221; people.<\/p>\n<p>B.<br \/>\nI count on people and for this <strong>b<\/strong>ig plan.<\/p>\n<p>C.<br \/>\nI find pea<strong>c<\/strong>e with the perfection and the wisdom of nature.

With the Greek summers.<\/p>\n<p>\u0395.<br \/>\n<strong>E<\/strong>ftychia\u00a0should be happy. (Eftychia after all means happiness). I\u2019m happy at nights. At dawn. I\u2019m happy when I walk barefoot on a wooden and clean floor. With the smell of freshly-washed bed sheets. With vanilla. With tomato, feta cheese and bread. With one crepe with chocolate. Happiness surrounds me, when water caresses me, when salty-sea-water and the sand touches my skin, just like the touch of cotton clothes. Yes, I am happy when I hear people laughing. I find happiness with hugs, in hugs&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>F.<br \/>\nI measure quantities. I consider my words. I \u201cmeasure\u201d people. But always in the end, what wins is the unquanti<strong>f<\/strong>iable.<\/p>\n<p>G.<\/p>\n<p>I calm dowm as time passes by. In\u00a0the safety of my mom\u2019s hu<strong>g<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>H.<br \/>\nI set boundaries. I set questions. I set terms. And then I renege on t<strong>h<\/strong>em.<\/p>\n<p>I.<br \/>\n<strong>I<\/strong> prioritise my needs, my people. But even when I\u2019m mistaken. Whatever deserves to be my number one, it finds its way to my emotional centre.<\/p>\n<p>J.<br \/>\n\u201cLaugh as much as you want against me.\u201d- Aristophanes-Ecclesiazusae<\/p>\n<p>K.<br \/>\nTo be forgotten by the people you love. To forget the one you love. The worst curse.<\/p>\n<p>But<br \/>\nIf a <strong>k<\/strong>not something can not be untied, you cut it. \u2013Alexander the Great<\/p>\n<p>L.<br \/>\nTo <strong>L<\/strong>earn. Even when you believe you know everything, continue learning. Eternal youth.<\/p>\n<p>M.<br \/>\nTo wash your hands of a <strong>m<\/strong>atter.
