Memorabilia

Happiness is not a station you arrive at but the manner of traveling.

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.

About Izzy the Grouch

I'm a Taurus born in the year of the Ox.

To put it nicely, I am "firmly resolved and determined", which is a very subtle way to describe me as "unreasonably, often perversely unyielding and bullheaded". Nobody can make me do or think what I choose not to.

Sometimes, this fiercely obstinate characteristic of mine gets me into more trouble that I can handle, but most of the time, I am proudly protective of what I am.

Being quick-tempered, I often react (too) rashly and end up with regrets. I think my body runs on emotionally-powered adrenaline and I need to keep that in check.

To sum it up, I am a chronic grouch - always sceptical and critical, but this is my journey to try to stop a while and take in the faintly sweet scents of life.
