It is kind of hard for me to write about my passion, because I like a lot of things but I don´t know if they could be considered “passions”.
The top three things I like are: art (I love to draw), fashion, and traveling. And out of those, maybe my true passion is fashion (it even rhymes!). I´ve always dreamed of being a fashion designer. A famous fashion designer. I love watching E!’s red carpet events to see all those fabulous Hollywood stars wearing from the most wonderful and beautiful dresses, to even the most horrendous, extremely radical or the most fashion forward dresses (Lady Gaga’s meat dress is the perfect example). I won´t lie, I spend most of my day daydreaming of watching one of my idols walking down the carpet with a dress made by me. A creation that would definitely will make a statement, or even win “Best Dressed” on Fashion Police. Leaving Joan Rivers speechless is always crossing my mind! Wouldn´t it be amazing!
So after all, I do have a passion, or a really great imagination.
I think environment is really important and it has a lot to do in the way we act.
Today brands and designer clothes are, well they are almost everything, it seems like the whole world is about that. I won´t lie, I have felt as an outsider before just by thinking I don’t have Tori Burch shoes or a Michael Kors bag. It is so silly that such things can make someone feel this way. I try very hard to be more than another superficial girl. And although I think I do it right, the idea of not fitting in just for what I wear is still a worry at the back of my head.
It is still kind of ironic that even when I think that, I want to be a fashion designer and that one day everybody will be wearing my shoes and bags, and that does would be the key pieces to be accepted. (of course my fashion line may be more accessible).
There are also other things that influence me, but I think that is one of the main concerns I’ve got so far. I’m actually a very proud girl so I would rather stick to my beliefs than be someone I’m not just to be accepted. (Yes, I’m a hard bone, I’m not influenced THAT easily)
The legend was originated in Germany.
The story is about Faust, who is a scolar that sold his soul to the devil because of his insatisfaction. In exchange of his soul Mephistopheles will serve him, tired of his ways Faust ends up regreating the pact.
two famous versions:
Christopher Marslowe’s: The tragical history of doctor Faustus and Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe’s Faust.
I haven´t read any story about him.
