Dear Pink Hair Girl

Wow! thank you so much for the awarding me the Beautiful blogger award in your latest post. Such an incredibly sweet thing to say..the award and the beautiful words were very much appreciated:)

For the award I have to tell you 7 things about myself that you do not know and then pass it on to 7 other bloggers that I think are beautiful. A tough one, considering the various meme's that have been completed on this here blog, but i shall give it a bash anyway:)

1. I have a dream of having a school for fine arts one day. Dancing, singing, acting, music..all of it. To promote the love there of in the hearts of the youth and those not privileged enough to be exposed to it all the time

2. I have moments of extreme loneliness...I'll be surrounded by people who love and care for me and yet i feel like I'm all alone in the world, like nobody knows me. I'm grateful that these moments are very rare though:)

3. There is something about me that only a very limited amount of people know. Most of them respect it, but very few of them understand it.

4. I have a fascination for knives and swords. I own a swords and a couple of knives too :)

5. I'm a bit of a Pyro

6. I love children. Child abuse, starving children and other bad things that affect children really hits me in the gut. I used to volunteer at the government hospital while I was studying and visited the children's ward once a week. I'd play with them, tell them stories, sing them to sleep, hold the babies, help feed them and generally give them the attention the nursing staff couldn't give them, even though they wanted to. Some of those kids had been there for weeks and weeks on end with nobody coming to visit them. I always went home in tears and generally spent the rest of the evening feeling as if somebody ripped my heart out.

7. Today is the 10th anniversary of my favourite uncle's death. He was an incredible human being. The last thing he said to me while i was visiting him in hospital was 'you are beautiful, everything about you is beautiful...don't ever lose that. You're so passionate about life, i wish i could see where you will be in 10 years' He died that night. Well my darling uncle, today is 10 years later...I hope I can say that you'd be proud of the person I've become:)

So now i get to award it to 7 other bloggers:) Many of you have already been awarded this specific award, so if you get a second one from me....deal with it ok?
So my awards go to:
1. Louisa - Fantastic and super interesting person. Doing the single mommy thing and generally making life fun and interesting :)
