An American Girl in Paris...?!

So Carrie Bradshaw, right?  It's looking like this smitten kitten may in fact be relocating to France.  Details to come... But for now, I'm off to find that dress!

À bientôt!

It's currently Saturday night and I'm home alone, sick with a cold, frolicking around my living room, choreographing interpretive dances...with my dog. Does anyone else find this at all problematic? I foresee a lot of crazy in my future...

I like to imagine that this will be me, post-graduation...

On Love...

I recently requested the advice of an older and much wiser friend on 

matters of the heart.  The response I received was profound to say the 

least, and reminded me yet again of my perpetual naïvety.  I was 

especially struck by one particular passage in his response…so 

much that I feel as though it would be a disservice to keep such 

wisdom to myself.  Although everyone’s circumstances in this life 

are quite different, there are certain feelings that are universal 

to the human experience.  Hence, the reason I cannot keep this 

to myself.  Take it and use it as you will.

This man knows what he’s talking about…

"I would caution against feeling like you are a victim of 

circumstance. This is the only time we have. If you consider 

the whole universe, the fact that your souls ended up on the 

same planet at the same time, and that you met and fell in 

love, it takes on the proportions of a miracle."

Eyes red, swollen.

Black smudges across my face.

The tears flowed.

For two days.

A reminder of my vulnerability.

Mind numbing pain.

To feel everything and nothing. 

Fear of making the wrong decision.

The potential devastation.
