What’s making me happy today.
Clicking this above link will transport you to Paris. And turn your speakers on… just a little. Not enough to get looks from your cubicle neighbor but just enough to hear that wonderful Frenchy music.
I’ve been craving Paris lately. I haven’t been in almost two years (I know - wah, wah). But I feel like Paris has a little piece of my heart. Even if sometimes it doesn’t treat me right, and sometimes it breaks my heart, I still love it unconditionally. The City of Paris has been like a cheating boyfriend to me - the one the you keep forgiving. It breaks my heart from time to time, but when it’s good to me - it’s GOOD.
I’ve been lost in Paris, treated badly by Parisians, wandered around the city alone at 3 am after missing the last metro of the evening, had my French language ridiculed, and been harassed by by anti-Americanism among many other things that have made me break down in tears over my time living there. But then I’ve also had some of the best days and evenings of my life there, made some forever friends there, eaten amazing food, had a fantastic job, been to the French president’s house, been treated with the utmost hospitality, met the Ambassador, felt like I had mastered the city, and felt like I never wanted to leave.
I have a serious love affair with this city. I really need to go back, but for now - I’ll take this wonderful flyover panoramic that makes me feel like I’m there.
