I was born on a summery day in Perth, Western Australia. I now live in Bunbury, Western Australia.
Life makes me smile.
Learning to let go of the negative and embracing the positive. Doing things and surrounding myself with people who make me happy are important life lessons I have learnt over the last few years.
My deepest fear is losing someone close to my heart.
My greatest dream is to be happy.
I am me. There is no one else like me 🙂
I was born in ijebu ode, a town in Ogun state, Nigeria
…i presently live in Osun state ( schooling purpose)
…remembering one way that I have putting smile on other people face makes me smile
…my definition is not what people say about me but how I see myself
…losing my love ones
…my greatest dream is to replace the sorrow of every man that may come into my contact with joy.
…i am god of myself who only av only one supreme God.
Oh, I would love to know what you know.
Born in Germany to ARMY parents–army brat(?)
Lived in a dozen more places.
Different religion, color, race, birthplace, at our dinner table, every night.
Mother born and raised in ROME, ITALY, and impressed upon me, how beautiful the world can be.
I just had to “open my eyes and heart”!
(First of all , sorry for the mistakes , I don’t speak English).
Sinop, Mato Grosso , Brazil
In the place where I was born.
Love and innocence of a child , an animal , especially my little dogs … a harmonious conversation with my family … my mother to be happy and sensations in nature, how to feel a quiet wind pass while it’s playing music and travel in my thoughts by a road for example.
That what really counts in life is to enjoy and places we love . It is that peace is much more valuable than anything. That there are many people to be helped and who need us we can help.
Die without having done something really important and without having taken the life whom I love. My biggest fear , in fact, is the distance from the fear of death of those I love.
Live rewarding and happy moments that make overflowing smiles of my family and friends , and also people who do not have any of that.
I’m a learner.
I was born in the beginning of Spring, during the new moon in Fanwood, NJ. My family moved around a little bit while I was growing up and I’ve also lived in Michigan, California and a couple locations in Pennsylvania. I currently reside just north of the Philadelphia area in PA.
I love being around happy people. Laughter is good medicine. Nature, music, babies and children and those I love can always bring a smile to my face.
I’ve learned a lot of lessons so far in this life – and I am definitely still learning. One of the most important is the one I still struggle with and that is to fully love and accept myself. It is a day to day process!!
My deepest fear is to be dead while I am alive, getting too caught up in the mundane and missing the beauty and miracles of life.
My dreams are to travel the world, take lots of photographs, meet lots of people and see all different cultures and landscapes.
Who am I? I am a truth seeker, an explorer of everywhere, and a student of life. I am a work in progress!
Where were you born?
-I was born in the rurals of Kenya,Africa,to an awesome family…and pretty much lived there upto 2013 and got a chance to move to the capital, Nairobi where I now reside.

What is the most important life lesson you’ve learned so far?
-I have learnt that I cannot always put other people first.,and that I should never stay at a place am not happy .
What is your deepest fear?
My deepest fear is not to live my life to the fullest.
.What is your greatest dream for your life?
Traveling to other countries and having a successful business of my own
Who are you?
-I am a strong unconventional lady, passionate,loving and friendly.
– I was born in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia
– I live in Bandung but I used to live in Jakarta for 10 years. I spent my childhood there and moved to Bandung when I was 12
– Me and my mom always tease each other playfully everyday and it always make me smile and laugh. No day without laughing for me and my mom! 🙂
– Actually my deepest fear is death, but if it doesn’t count then my deepest fear is making mistake in front of others. Maybe because my dad always laugh at me and criticize me everytime I make mistake. My dad is pretty judgemental. But I like to try new things as long as I’m sure no one will judge me
– My dream is travelling around the world, especially to Europe and North America
– I’m an accepting, non judgemental girl yet shy and afraid of people’s judgement of me.
• Where were you born? Tulsa, Oklahoma
• Where do you live now? Close to the Red River in Texas, not where I want to stay but we’re ok for now.
• What makes you smile? Acts of kindness, a show of trust, nature, my husband when he’s having a ‘good’ day…. My son even though he’d never believe it. An email from a friend who’s not a sheep. A dish served best cold… took one 10 years to come along…….. ex-landlord/jerk drove up into the driveway where I was standing next to a truck filled with moving boxes. His wife recognized me. I had to tell him how I knew his name…. He said he’d just come by to welcome the new owners but could see they weren’t there. He asked if I knew when they’d be there and before I could reply he asked if I worked for the movers? I said no and he rudely demanded to know what I was doing there and what business I had being there when the owner’s weren’t there. I swear he was looking at the truck that was loaded down with boxes and then at me as if he’d just caught me in the middle of robbing the place. His wife had already figured it out and was grinning from ear to ear (I always liked her) and as I leaned back against the truck I crossed my arms, looked around slowly then looked him straight in the eyes and with a smile said sweetly…We own it. The mortgage huge, the look on his face……..PRICELESS!
• What is the most important life lesson you’ve learned so far? That when you say ‘for better or worse’ you better be darn sure you mean it because sometimes…. worse is thru no fault of you or your spouse’s own doing, and you can’t just walk away.
• What is your deepest fear? Now…… not being able to protect my husband from ‘life’. He’s a moderate/severe TBI survivor.
• What is your greatest dream for your life? That by some miracle I win the lottery or something so that I can make sure loved ones will always be taken care of and be able to help those less fortunate than I in our area learn to use computers and cell phones so they can feel less dependent on others.
• Who are you? No one special. Just someone who has a love of animals and wishes people would stop telling her to stop pretending to be someone she isn’t an be who they know she REALLY is.
I was born in Évry, France.
I currently live in Rennes, France.
Bringing joy to others makes me smile, seeing people happy, and music. Music makes me smile a lot.
The most important life lesson I’ve learned so far is probably that no matter how much you’re attached, people come and go through your life and in the end, the only one you can count on is yourself. So love yourself.
My greatest dream life is to wander around the world, making concerts and being on stage as much as possible, and making music for a living. To transmit my passion to people.
I’m a 18 year-old young adult working hard for my dreams to come true, and on my way to find myself.
Love from France 🙂
I was born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. I’ve spent all 37 of my years in this city.
I live in a studio bachelor apartment in the east side of the city near Stoney Creek. I’ve lived here for 3 months after being homeless for over 10 years. It’s quite a change, and I have to say I’m a little greedy over having my own space and privacy after having to share it for so long.
Beautiful things make me smile, like the form of the naked female body, the expanse of a deep red sunset, the babbling water makes down a creek in harmony with the wind in the trees, or the things people do that restore my faith in humanity.
The most important life lesson I’ve learned is: Love is the bottom line. Whatever I do in life, I should try to stem from this or build on it as a foundation, because doing so from any other source won’t leave a lasting legacy. After I leave here, all material things will return to dust with me eventually, but I want the actions I take, and their motives to inspire people to do the same. In doing so, a part of me will live forever, even after my name, and my time, and what I’ve done is forgotten. That part of me will be immortal.
My deepest fear is that my daughter, who was given up at birth because my girlfriend at the time was in jail, will never know who her father is, and that I love her with the very fabric of my being. I want her to know who I am to help her better understand herself.
My greatest aspirations are to fulfill my passions and become great with them to the point of becoming famous. Those which started in my youth like writing and drawing, long distance cycling.
I was born in Wauchope NSW, Australia on 27th Feburary 1981.
I live in Kempsey NSW, Australia since October 2014.
I few different things that make me smile, these include: having a cuddle with my pet cat Ollie, he loves to be brushed so that makes me smile. Spending time with my family, watching /playing with my 1yr old & 3yr old cousins.
My most important life lesson learnt so far is to make sure that I always have time for me. I tend to put everyone else’s needs above mine & over time that becomes determinal to me & my health.
My deepest fear is to get to the end of my life & look back and wonder if I have tried to life it to the fullest.
My greatest dream is to travel to Africa & see the wonderful environments that Africa has to offer. Another dream is that my young cousins get to see the same level of beauty in our environment as what I have seen in my lifetime so far.
Im Cara.
I was born in Austin, and I still live there.
The things that make me smile are – music, seeing my friends, a small but genuine compliment, and stories themselves.
A life lesson I have learned – Never let anyone stop you from being yourself and following your dreams. Why bother with them if they’re only going to put you down?
My deepest fear – letting down the people I love.
My greatest dream in life – to become the kind of person who can love everyone, find joy in anything, and change people’s lives for the better.
I am… someone who is flawed, broken, learning, but trying to give myself a chance. I am an explorer, a lifelong learner, a dreamer, and a creator. In other words, I am human.
I was born in the US – Waterloo, Illinois – a small bedroom community in the mid west. I still live here and work 5 minutes from my home.
What makes me smile? A kind word spoken; to me or to be witness to someone’s kindness.
My life lesson: I’m enough. I’m perfectly imperfect :o)
I fear the dark deep water of depression.
My biggest dream is to leave this world a better place than I came into. To grow old and wrinkled with laugh lines; my lover and best friend in the rocker on the front porch next to me- beautiful sunset in our eyes.
I was born in Dayton, Ohio, United States of America. I grew up in Beavercreek, Ohio. I have lived in Ypsilanti, Michigan; Dayton, Ohio; Middletown, Ohio; Germantown, Ohio; and Kettering, Ohio.
I live in West Carrolton, Ohio (a suburb of Dayton)
Many things make me smile. A child discovering the world for the first time. Someone laughing or smiling at something I did or said. Learning something new. Doing something for the first time.
I’ve learned not to judge others by appearance. After all, we all have a story.
My deepest fear is that I am destined to be alone. That either because of my own stubbornness, or because of my preoccupation with other events, I somehow missed my soulmate along this life’s journey.
My greatest dream is to travel the world, without want or need. Helping where needed and learning all that I can.
I am the light in the darkness; the voice of reason that goes unheard; and the prefect imperfection. I am a father; a protector; a warrior; a magician; a gentleman; a writer; a poet; a fool; and a prince. Yet there is still more to be.
