... a bit further

Going a bit further, for this journey is not a destination, but a path to discover, everyday a bit further.

Looking a bit further, for life sometimes asks us to raise or eyes faraway, overthere, further.

Thinking a bit further, for this journey is more than concrete streaming under the wheels, this is also an inside path to follow, further and further.

Loving a bit further, for one builds love by giving a bit more, a bit further.

Living a bit further, for beyond wounds, I want to believe in the beauty that is yet to be received. Just a bit further.

... me

First name : Sébastien Last name : Gros Age : 31 years old Profession : undetermined Status : single Particular signs : many Motto : "Don’t take life too seriously, you’ll never get out of it alive anyway"

Dream hunter, sand castle builder, extremist, dabbler, enthusiastic, brutally ironic, sensitive, disillusioned and romantic, if I had to pick a few words to describe myself, I would choose these ones. The labels that some have sometimes tried to stick on me have always seemed too narrow to write down the list of the dreams that inhabit me, hence, though I am over thirty, I still surprise those who have not yet completed the visit of my little planet.

The world is unbounded and the frontiers are mainly built by ourselves. This idea is naïve, but it has carried me forward for many years. I am readying myself for a new hazardous and absurdly difficult adventure. Finally if a label was to be stuck on me, I guess it would be this one.
