Silver lining

I’m so happy I found this beautiful place, which can treat me.

It looks more like a campus than an hospital (I’m thinking tiny UCLA). In Paris everything can be romanticized it seems… good for me, because it takes the edge off things. It’s not even an ordeal to come see my doctor in these conditions. The architecture is so vintage, I’m loving this old-vibe medical look. I’m transported in an era that was really stylish.

Oh and by the way, it’s my birthday !

I usually am not in the mood to celebrate, but this year I will. I have a whole thing planned for this weekend, so pictures will be coming next week 🤗

When you find out your normal daily life is called “quarantine”

January 20, 2023January 16, 2023 ~ Madison Kennedy

These days, being confined at home, I like to take myself on a walk in the woods.

I don’t do it every day, because since it’s winter time we can get some gosh-awful weather. Definitely the worst is the combined winds + rain. Which for me cancels any thoughts of going out.

I have barely mentioned anything regarding my health issues, other than, I need to take some time off to care for myself… I don’t think I’m ready to write about it yet, but basically what I have is chronic. I am learning to live with it, and do the best I can whilst dealing with that. It sure hasn’t been easy but I’m an optimistic, and grateful person.

So, one of the most important thing in my daily life is to walk. Going into the woods gives me such good energy, it recharges me, connects me to the simple enjoyable things, and the importance of life. It also inspires me to look forward no matter what.

There’s no place like home.

I love being home !

Where we live it’s such a beautiful and magical place. We have the woods nearby, and a lake, and also a river down… we get to see people riding horses. It’s very French as well, in the sense that it’s a foodie town, so you can find all the necessary ingredients for cooking amazing dishes. The Farmer’s & Flowers market is stunning, definitely worth going out on a Saturday morning for.

My day-to-day life is actually pretty peaceful, and lovely. I romanticize it a lot, which is easy because the surroundings are quite poetic, and that’s why I absolutely hate getting out of my bubble. I get so much anxiety whenever I have to go to Paris, even though it’s like super close and I’m a Parisian-born. Being here feels like we’re away from that madness, it’s delightful 💗

“This, Madame, is Versailles.”

Cotton candy skies welcomed me in France…

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. 💗

“What do you do for a living” I do my best

October 5, 2022October 4, 2022 ~ Madison Kennedy

It’s always a good idea to take off for a few days to Switzerland, and get some fresh air. It’s especially good if your best friend lives there, and by just seeing her your energy is replenished.

Paris has this special gift of making people depressed… I mean, I’m not even joking. If you live there, you know. Looks pretty like a postcard on the outside, but on the inside it’s cold, grey and dirty. It weighs you down, after a couple of weeks, you need new horizons or else it takes the best out of you.

And I’m definitely not one to let it get to me, which is why I travel so often. I need to escape.
