I'm totally in love with this weeks flicr fav because Mitsy asked us to do a self portrait. I always enjoy doing things that help me reflect on myself since I'm always busy with other stuff. I had a hard time narrowing my mosaic to these 13 pics, there is still so much left to say about me.
Well in order for you to go round with me in this mosaic I thought I first share with you that I'm an Island girl, born and raised in Curacao. Curacao is a little Island not far from the coast of Venezuela.
- 1 shows you colorful houses situated in the capital, Willemstad. I believe that the fact that I'm from the caribbean makes me think and feel different about color freedom and people.
- 2 lots of fantasy in my mind.
- 3 one fact about me I don't like. I have different mood swings all the time. I'm a libra so I'm always searching for balance what makes it difficult for me to suppress my feelings and feel happy or sad in the right order. If it makes sense to you.
- 4 I'm also a mess. Yes. If things get out of control I tend to explode and not handle things with calm, yes, that's me.
- 5 But beside all my exploding, I'm a very sweet girl. That is figuratively and literally speaking.
- 6 I observe. Allot.
- 7 I always carry hope.
- 8 I love unconditionally.
- 9 I cry. Allot. I'm a crier.
- 10 I'm a girly girl.
- 11 I always enjoy the little things in life. I believe that the little things bring you to the bigger stuff.
- 12 Dreamer. By day and night.
- 13 Family is the most important thing. I'm always taking care of them.
So yes. That's me and there is a whole lot more. Thank you so much for stopping by, I loved sharing myself with you. More self portrait flickr favs here on Mitsy's blog, go check them out.
Have a lovely week, you deserve it.

And obviously you're a very colorful personality! Loved learning more about you! I'm quite emotional too which I find pretty cool as I know that feelings always move me! ;) It's a good thing! :)

Beautiful mosaic and description!
I'm also quite emotional and cry easily... and I do enjoy the little things - they're the most important!
So glad to know your colorful, intense and dreamy personality a bit more :)

Gia,
I love your mosaic, especially when you picked photos that were unexpected, like the drop of water off the leaf for crying. Beautiful. Your being from the Caribbean must be freeing. It took me a while to accept how much I love color, and how happy it makes me. I got to know you a little because of this wonderful mosaic. :o)
Thanks for the lovely comment on mine, it's so nice to meet you!
