Hey there everyone. I was searching for a forum about buddhism for some time and I found this one... I am not yet sure If it is a good place to start the topic.
I am 22 years old male and I come from Poland. Not long ago I have met a girl who was practising buddhism. When she told me about that I felt strange. I felt a weird confusing energy which surrounded me which was and the same good and bad. I immediately change the topic but at the same time I wanted to get back to it, ask her about it. I wanted to know how it is to find a peace and how is it to live the way you really want, you really love but... I couldnt. Something stopped me from asking. From that time i do not have a contact with her. She just left me one thing... A strange motivation to find out more about buddhism. For a long time (mostly 6years) I am trying to find who I really am. I lost myself just like that. Maybe she was a sign directing a new path in my life? I do not know. I just know that now I feel very comfortable talking about it, I feel warm in my heart while typing on this forum. I wanted to find more about buddhism so I decided to write here, asking for a guidance...
If i wrote in a wrong place then i am very sorry about it. I am sorry for my english too.
Peace ( :
