Yesterday was my birthday so today I'm 26 years old!

When I was thinking about it two days ago, 26 sounded old!!!!   I know I'm overeacting since I'm in my twenties but 26 is closer to 30 than it's to 20!!!  And I'm beginning to realize that I'm a grown-up! I work with children, I still live with my parents and I must admit that I like considering myself as a child too!

Oh well! Today it doesn't matter!, yesterday I celebrated my birthday with my sister and three of my closest friends and I have a lovely man to thanks for the suprise,so the best things in life are on the way!!!

eyxaristw mwraki!

A new beginning, a new chapter of my life started out of the blue, there I met you Delta Goodrem

I searched my world but I can't find you Brian McFadden

I was about 15 when I first read The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran and I must admit that I didn’t understand a whole lot of things.

There was a prophet who traveled round the world until he reached the city of Orphalese, where the citizens asked him to talk about a variety of things.

Among the things he said about love there was the following….

“Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.

Love possesses not nor would it be possessed,

For love is sufficient unto love.

When you love you should not say ‘God is in my heart’,

But rather ‘I am in the heart of God’.

And think not you can direct the course of love,

For love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.”

It took me 10 years and many failed relationships to understand what the prophet was talking about!

I remember growing up believing that there is a knight on a white horse waiting to sweep me off my feet! I grew up believing that I would hear music and fireworks when I would first kiss a guy. And it was all true! My first kiss was magical! But what followed it disappointed me!

The relationship disappointed me to some much extend that I came to believe that there is no true love and a mate for life.

Over the years I became a true cynical example of our times! I dated a lot and when ever I got bored of someone I stopped seeing him without an explanation (of course there were 1 or 2 serious relationships only to verify that there is no true love).

My friends all said that I haven’t found the right person yet and I will change my mind when he comes along!

Recently I’ve meet someone and I’m thinking over some of my views, but still I’m afraid that I am right and there is no true love.

God, I hope I’m wrong!

I just wanted to say hello to all my friends and thanks for accepting my requests.

I thought I start catching up with you with what I 've been doing this summer....

This year I visited once again the island of Rhodes, which is in the Mediterranean, southern Europe. I stayed in Ialissos and went for swimming at Ladiko beach, which looks like a small private pool. Ladiko is my favorite place to be. I think I’m falling in love with the place since it carries many happy memories!

In Rhodes you can do almost anything. I enjoy taking small boat trips to Simi, which is a small island near Rhodes (I have added two pics in my albums) and visiting the castle of the Knights.

I also went for a visit at my grandpa, who lives at a village named Schinolaka, which is near Pylos (I also have in my albums a picture of Pylos and of the waterfall in my village).

My vacations didn’t last very long this year since I had to come back in Athens early and study for my exams. Better luck next summer
