A little stroll around Paris, back in the fall, when I could actually walk that much.
So because I’ve been confined at home, and my only outings are walks in the woods, I don’t really have much new content to share. But the good news is, I have a ton of old pictures that I’ve never shown online, and they are pretty cool to me, because they bring a lot of good memories.
In the meantime I’m able to go back on an actual vacation, I will be editing and posting my previous trips !
It will at least cheer me up, and fill this blog with much needed content.
I guess I’m finally ready to talk about what I have…
Been dealing with health issues for the past couple of years, and was not properly diagnosed until recently. The diagnosis was really helpful in a way, because I could begin proper treatment.
Unfortunately it’s a bit late, my body has been in crisis mode since September ’22. At this point for the treatment to kick in, it takes a while. I’ve been home basically since then, you can’t imagine all the things someone can go through dealing with that. It’s like another confinement, with added pain. So that’s great.
For that reason, and because I couldn’t find the necessary ressources for myself online, I decided to tackle on a little finite online project. I’m creating an instagram account I titled @immunediseases.
So I will be sharing anything health, wellness, cooking, fitness, and self-care related there. Because my blog is more for photography, and I don’t want to mix that here. Plus, as I said it’s a finite project, once I babbled on everything I have on this topic, I’ll just leave it be : hopefully by then I will be healed, and able to start working on the actual projects I’ve been dreaming of.
But in the meantime, I’m not gonna sit around and not even share what I’ve learned or experienced through my own issues.
If you are unfortunately like me, living with autoimmune diseases, or know someone etc… go and take a look at my new instagram. I’ll start posting there from next Monday. You can ask me any questions there, regarding those topics. It’s going to be a safe place for those matters. xoxox
I truly love “vintage Paris”. At least, that’s how I call it.
Any place that looks old, and from another time : I’m instantly in love. For example this metro station is unlike most that you’ll come across. First of all, it’s outside… I hate when the metro goes underground. The city is so beautiful, you want to be able to see it while traveling.
And they kept the architecture from the early XXth century, which is so Parisian. If you want to check the area on foot, I highly recommend. It’s Rive Gauche, super chill and safe neighborhoods. Take line 6, and stop at Saint Jacques 😊
I hate winter, so whenever it’s sunny out, you best believe I’m gonna be out as well. Gotta soak that vitamin D as much as possible in this dark land. I went there with my best friend, who was visiting from Switzerland. Gosh I always miss her so much, I have the best talks & hangouts with her; you don’t need a therapist when you have an amazing bestie.
The palace was so pretty that day, I’ve been here a million times, but never with this type of weather. I was definitely enchanted. The winds were ruthless though, which is why we didn’t go too far out, it was freezing. 💗
This trip to LA made me realize that I have the potential of turning around my life if I want to. Not saying that it’s an easy task, but that it’s a possibility, if I want it. Knowing that gives me confidence, and hopefulness.
I definitely noticed that my skills were still intact, I still know how to write, draw, sing, make a video or edit pictures the way I feel them… I thought I’d lost that.
I need to figure out a way to stay in touch with me, while away from LA, because it’s gonna be tough to feel this good and enlightened when I’m back in Paris. Life is just so much different there, and I’m a truly LA girl at heart, so that’s harsh for me.
I have new limits I didn’t know about, that I can’t cross anymore. I’m looking forward to how I’m gonna re-invent a new life for myself, because that’s what I need in order to feel better.
