Like/Dislike

(“Inspiration” for this entry has been taken from this blog)

Sometimes it amazes me how similar people are. It is true that every person is its own world and everybody is unique and individual in themselves. However, more often than not, we come across people who we’ve never met, people who live miles and miles away.. you’ve never heard their voices, their accents, you don’t know what colour their eyes are.. and still, suddenly you realise that you’ve got more things in common that you would have imagined at first.

This list of things that I like and dislike is very unoriginal, in the sense that almost all of it has literally been copied from the blog I linked to above. Only a few additions of my own. So, here it is:

LIKE

- I like the smell of the ocean
- I like to sing aloud in my house or car
- I like pens, notebooks, crayons, and everything related to stationery
- I like sincere hugs
- I like feeling touched and even letting a tear escape my eyes when someone does something for me, really showing that that person knows me
- I like driving round and about the countryside
- I like sleeping and dreaming with things that may never come true, but make me happy regardless
- I like observing people and finding beauty in the little details
- I like massages and all kinds of rubs
- I like independence, and in ocassions, solitude too
- I like feeling the “tingling” of love
- I like adrenaline and excitement
- I like laughing and making people laugh
- I like helping others
- I like taking pictures
- I like receiving hand-written letters
- I like discovering the soul of cities
- I like history and happy stories too
- I like the sunset
- I like food (really??!?!?!)

DISLIKE

- I dislike lies
- I dislike cruelty and insencirity. I dislike people who talk behind my back
- I dislike people who only think of their own interests
- I dislike people who want to impose their own view or belief
- I dislike people who blame and point the finger at others without admitting their own mistakes
- I dislike scary/gory films
- I dislike being untidy and lazy (and being uncapable of doing something about it once and for all!)
- I dislike people who will try to change you
- I dislike bureaucracy and paperwork
- I dislike “doom and gloom naysayers”
- I dislike people who complain about everything and don’t do anything to improve their situation
- I dislike vengeance and resentment
- I dislike getting into a cold bed
- I dislike not drying properly after a shower
- I hate drugs and their consequences
- I dislike sharing food that I am enjoying (well, I don’t dislike it, but I tend to avoid it xDD)

And in the last few years I’ve also realised that:

- I prefer a quiet night in than a crazy night out
- I prefer watching films from the comfort of my own home
- I prefer the country to the city
- I like owning my house
- I am not as crazy anymore
- I am quite tight with money and I like not to squander
- I have an interesting relationship with fashion: I love to look at it / I hate to wear anything “fashion”
- I can’t handle “standing” concerts any more. Please let me watch from the seating area. Thanks.
- I am nowhere near as opinionated as I used to be
- I have learnt to have peace with myself
