First I have to thank @tamacvet for starting with this interesting and clever initiative and for nominating me and giving me the opportunity to say how things are going from my point of view.

So, looking at the guy on the mirror...

... and I am lucky to know that guy well enough to have some good fun while hanging out with him.
And I know that this is not what you expected but I am also lucky for not knowing that guy from the mirror completely. Only this way he can surprise me, drive me mad and fulfill my dead time.

I think it's more important to believe in yourself than to know yourself.

Believing brings the magic. I don't spend my time analyzing myself before making a decision on something. I just give a shot, making step by step every day on this path like "Little Engine That Could" singing "I think I can, I think I can".

I rarely feel something like shame. I never had problems with approaching the girls, making new friendships or claiming what belongs to me. So my theory about "knowing yourself" is that if you're self confident enough, there is no need for analyzing and studying yourself. Just be yourself! And take care of yourself!

I had some breaking points in my life when I had to give up on something.

My autoimmune disease heavily damaged my spine and neck. I can't rotate my neck at all! Some 7,8 years ago, it was hard to accept that. But instead od hiding in dark, the damn diagnose actually increased my self confidence even more! You never know how you will react in some situation before it happens.

What have I learned so far about myself?

There is a really thin line that separates two different worlds. On the one side there is a green meadow full of flowers and butterflies. On the other side, there is a battlefield full of blood and terror. Most of my time I live in that peaceful meadow. And I am calm. I still am and you're trying to provoke me. I don't care, but you started provoking even more. Now I'm warning you. And I am still calm. Then you started provoking again. In one moment I can become a warewolf, a bloodthirsty beast, grab your neck and take you in that second (bloody) world on the other side of the thin line. You won't ever come back alive...
