About Me

"About Me" , well, I don't have much imaginary for these things . I don't know how to start, but the words flow and follow at the end.
Just a simple french girl , aged 19, greedy to live as many things as possible in a such short life, passionate about happiness, love, people, travel, animals , passionate about life in general.
I haven't been always thinking the way I do today.
Confuscius' quote "We have two lifes. The second one starts once you've realized you have only one life" may be the best quote to apply to my situation.
I have been through a bad period (euphemism of course) and when I managed to get out of it , I was a new person , like literally. My eyes seemed to see clearer and my mind was lighter. And it was so paradoxical : how the "Me" who was so full of self hatred could turned into a "Me" so full of love for others.
In a general way, I'm not capable of hatred and I barely am capable to judge someone. I don't think humans can judge others humans. Who are we to do that ? I don't believe in Gods either, but I belive in destiny. It allowed me to distance myself from painful events . It protects me, like "Everything which is willing to happen, will necessarily happens" (Is it what we called the Murphy Law too , but without the pessimist side of it, I'm not too sure about this? ) . For me Destiny is THE superior power along with karma above humans. For me , everything is written, and we can't change that. Some can tell it's for weak, it's for people who don't want to feel guilt , who don't want to feel that it's their fault, who want to "clear themselves" from any situation, it's for people who want to survive and not "live" . Yes, maybe . But all I know is that I live better since then , that for once , at the contrary , I "lived" and not "survived".
Everything is always all right and will always be . Nothing is deadly serious , except death precisely. Broke your 1000-dollar phone ? It's ok it's only money. Been fired ? Don't worry there are always jobs available . Failed your Bachelor ? Don't worry you can retry it or change ways . Heart broken ? Let people aroud you and your passion repair it for you, meet another person , the first one was definitely not the one for you if you broke up .
I have for principle that from the very moment you call "problem" a problem , it become really a problem. If you look closer, you can see maybe that those things we call "problem" most of the time , aren't. People tend to create problem on their own , rejecting the fault on others factors. People tend to put themselves barriers too , still rejecting the fault on others factors.
Travel is one of the most perfect example : "It's too expensive" "It will be too short" "Too tiring" "Too far away" "Oh no it's not a 4-star hostel " "Oh no we have to wait 10h for the connecting flight " "No they don't speak english in there" . People are most of the time afraid . Yes, they fear to lose their bubble of everyday-life confort. Yes, I am afraid too. But , the fuck are we waiting for ? Break your own barriers and do the things you want to do , no ?
Are we waiting to be dead to live ?

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a "wall of thought" in my bedroom where I write quotes, inspirational thoughts , funny expressions or simply sentences which left a deep impression on me and made me feel something (whatever it is) on a paper and stick it on the wall. Sometimes before I sleep or when I feel down I re-read them. They allow me to distance from myself, change my perspective and point of view and relativise things.

"I wonder if there is a time on the clock that I have never seen"
"When butterflies fall in love , do they have people in their stomach?"
"Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer"
"I'm not going on travel, I'm going on adventure!"
"Yesterday, I saw a lion kiss a deer"
"If you were a soul, where would you hide yourself ?"
"Chin up. Keep you head held high. Wear the pride of a survivor, not the shame of a victim"
"Everything has an end , except the banana which has two"
"Sometimes in life bad things happen to us. They happen without reason, they happen unexpectedly and to good people. But no matter what, we can't let those bad things stop us from growing and becoming the person that we want to be. We can't let those things destroy us and we have to keep moving on. We have to survive."
"Wouldn't it be better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you are not?"
"Do you ever wonder why there isn't a word for the opposite of loneliness?"
