Na eiste kala !

Na eiste kala !

Three years ago we completely fell in love with this island 🤍 🇬🇷

And we’ve been back every year since ! So this is our third… we’re still obsessed with Crete, and the Cretan people are some of the nicest, most generous we’ve met through our different travels. We just love their vibe !

The first thing we do upon arrival at the airport, is get our car and start the road trip right away. We drive fast, until a beautiful little beach, or cove catches our sight, and we make our stop there : take off all of our airplane clothes, and jump in the sea 🌊

Trust me, it is the best feeling ever. Since we travel there in August / September, the water is so warm, you don’t even have to wait for your skin to get adjusted. It’s the perfect temperature. After that first little (or longer) swim, we go for lunch… and oh my gosh, how nice it is to have a proper Greek salad, with dakos ! Cretans offer some dessert or fruit when you ask for the bill, and a little digestive; ouzo and raki are the most common ones.

The feeling of being wholly disconnected from our stressful Parisian lives, barely an hour after landing… and the freedom the car gets us is unmatchable. It’s just smiles & adventures now, for two weeks ☀️

Still listening to the Twilight soundtrack while editing my pics

Last post on my current whereabouts, before I start sharing pictures from Crete !

I originally didn’t want to publish those photos on here, because they’re my boyfriend’s & I summer vacation pics, but I need a little break to work on another project, and in the meantime I don’t want to leave my blog without any content when I know I have some.

The weather in Paris has been absolutely stunning up until now… we’ve entered a period of doom ! It’s been raining every day 😭

But right before that, we’ve had the most incredible sunsets, the sky was on fire most nights. We had red suns setting on the woods. It was insane, and so beautiful ! I captured some moments, when we went for walks in the woods, enjoy 🤗

Primaveral… the very beginning of spring

Primaveral... the very beginning of spring

I love this season 🤍

There’s a sensible winter coldness in the air, but you can already see spring making its way, with trees blooming white flowers. My favorite time of the year is almost there (or not, but it’s getting closer). Also I’m slowly but surely getting better, so now I can even go on nice walks in Paris. It’s tiring, but it makes me happy to get out. Next week, I’m gonna start sharing pictures from my vacation to Crete last summer. I’ve edited a bunch, so they’re ready to go 🤗

“The thing about writing is I can’t tell if it’s healing or destroying.” Rupi Kaur

“The thing about writing is I can't tell if it's healing or destroying.” Rupi Kaur

I wish I could write out all those feelings that I have bottled up inside of me, but in truth it does hurt to say things the way they are.

And it’s a terrible feeling, because we all probably wish to be happily free from anything that ties us down. Being able to express yourself is liberating. I haven’t managed that properly yet, but I’m working on it.

It definitely goes hand in hand with my recovery process. This healing journey that I’m on, and how my mental health is affected through that. It’s an every day struggle to say the least, and it’s a fight… but it’s okay, I’m a warrior. And I’m damn good at fighting for myself.

So I’ll trust the process and surrender to positivity.

Immune diseases

Immune diseases

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
