Let's do this :)

The idea of writing a blog never appealed to me. I couldn't understand why people write them and why anyone would actually read them. 

Things change. People change. So did I. :) 

Taking a year off from college wasn't exactly my decision but it just kinda happened. I wasn't happy with the situation I was thrown in but I decided to make the most of it.

After a few months of lazyness I have managed to find... well, something - it's not much of a job but it'll do for now. ;) 

Anyway... 

I've taken all the spare time to focus on my family, friends, love and myself. So far so good... 

I have writen a few short stories and been contemplating writing a blog for some time now. I've chosen this title because I have a lot of different interests and would like to share my thoughts and dreams with other people. I really hope that writing this blog will help me open up a bit more and that I'll get to know  people who share all (or at least some) of my interests. 

As for gleams... One of the definitions of the term "gleam" is - " a brief beam or flash of light" and I believe our lives are full of them. Gleams are all those little things that make us happy and fulfilled - opportunities we grab, risks we take, trips, books etc.... Depending on your perspective. ;) 

English is not my mother tounge but I'm a student of English (and German) and I believe writing is a good opportunity to work on my English and polish it. 

So, if you're reading this - feel free to comment on anything, including my mistakes. 

My heart is beating like a drum right now but I've decided to post this no matter what.

I'll be happy as a monkey if someone actually decides to read this.

Right now I feel excited and a bit lame, really. 

Thank you for reading XXX
