Who am I ? A 10-minute personal profile sketch

Today I came across the girlscircle tag from @thethreehugs. She is a very inspiring woman that does lot of research for her posts, but also is a fighter for awareness of corruption in this world. But like me, she is also a person that tries to turn things into something positive, and I love that! So here's my respond to her blog under the girlscircle tag. You can find this original blog by clicking here.

Profiling myself in only 10 minutes time

I am a woman in the first place, a mother of 3 children, and a girlfriend of the love of my life. I am an emphatic person, not only due to what I've been trough, but also because I can really put myself in someone else's shoes by listening to them. I am a good listener and even though my life was not one that was always very bright, I still always am able to give good advice when it comes to someone else's problems.

I am an open and friendly person to new people that I meet, but when I feel something is off meeting new people, I listen to this gut feeling very carefully. Because I have made mistakes in the past, not to listen to these red flags, and I had to learn the hard way that I should listen to them. So if my gut feeling will give these signals to me, you will see only a part of me, and I will not tell you personal details about myself. If my gut feeling gives me green light, you will see my true soul.

When I was a child I was very quiet, insecure and shy. Later in life I learned that I have many skills and should not put myself in the corner telling myself I am not good enough. Because I am good in many things I do. Actually most things that I am passionate about, and just try at a certain point, I turn out to be good to very good in. So that has been a big confidence boost for me during the years. The key is actually in this: being passionate and giving it my all.

I tried so many things in life and I like so many things in life. Therefore I may have difficulties to choose the things I want to focus on sometimes as I am usually filled with new ideas and plans. I learned to make notes, and write it all down, because I know there is a place and time for each and every one of them!

I have never been too happy with the way I look, but I know if I want to change this, I need to put some more effort in it, as long as I don't I won't complain .. I am very creative in many ways, and I can say that I am a writer by now as I wrote many things while I am completing this post. I am also information hungry and a truth seeker. And because I have been very naive for years until it cost me everything I had, I now see the bad in people's eyes by giving it only one look. Not a thing that I actually enjoy, but it makes my life much easier, because those won't have a change to get close to me and hurt me.

I moved from Holland to Spain, where we finally made some new dear friends after a while. But now we are living in Hungary, and I did not really make lots of new contacts yet. I kind of miss this actually, so I am planning to put myself a bit more out there here in our city, to make some new precious contacts.

I am here to stay, as my mission is raising awareness!
I am raising awareness by telling my story on Steemit, and in the meanwhile I am writing a book that I hope to finish this year. And I hope after this year, I have enough funds to start the process to get my 2 oldest and dear children back from their father. I have faith in a good ending, but I know it may take a while. Luckily I have a nice boyfriend and almost 2 year old girl with me that will make sure that I don't lose my focus on the things here either.

I had some hard years, but I have learned from those years, that I do best when I believe in myself and my skills. Even if people tell me otherwise, because it doesn't fit the norms of the system, I don't listen to that anymore, as I believe the best system for me is to listen to my inner voice.. I can be anything in life I want, and I will succeed in every goal I have for myself.

Because I am stronger than I was years ago, and stronger than yesterday!
