:Billet d'Avion:
"I love you not for what you are, but for what I am when I'm with you," - Author Unknown
Elle avait le billet d’avion dans son sac à main, celui-ci était au-dessous de ses jambes, juste à côté du gilet de sauvetage. Elle a ouvert les yeux doucement, 8 :4opm vol à NY…ouais, c’était à cette heure qu’elle avait pris son avion, maintenant elle ne savait pas quelle heure il était. Elle avait laissé sa montre sur son bureau, chez elle. De certaine manière elle avait pensé que dès qu’elle prenait son avion ; le temps ne compterait plus.
Elle avait peur, ses mains tremblaient et depuis quelques jours elle avait froid, mais froid du genre qui se mettait dans les os et qu’elle ne pouvait pas apaiser. C’était bizarre, il faisait nuit et elle le savait même si elle ne le voyait pas. Les hôtesses de l’air avaient déjà passé plusieurs fois avec des plateaux, de la nourriture et des boissons. Non, je ne veux rien, merci. Souri.
Le billet était vieux, dans son sac il devait être écrasé par toutes ses affaires, par son portefeuille, son passeport et quoi d’autre. Elle essayait d’agir comme si ce billet, vieux et écrasé ne valait rien quand en réalité, elle sentait qu’il valait plus que n’importe quel autre élément dans sa vie. Elle ne pouvait pas nier l’importance de ce but de papier, elle était quand même dans l’avion, en train de traverser l’Atlantique. Oui, elle savait que le billet avait une valeur.
Elle était dans l’avion, elle buvait du vin et pensait à lui. Putain, comme elle était pathétique. Elle gardait les souvenirs de ce qu’ils avaient vécu comme si c’était hier. Elle n’aimait pas trop les avions, en fait. Chaque fois qu’elle prenait un, elle avait des sentiments différents.
En vrai, elle a décidé que tout dependait que ce qui l’attendait de l’autre côté.
Si supiera que estos son los últimos minutos que te veo diría "te quiero" y no asumiría, tontamente, que ya lo sabes. – Gabriel Garcia Marquez

¿Qué es un buen día?

:Sunday Night Thoughts:

Y cuando todo el mundo se iba
y nos quedábamos los dos
entre vasos vacíos y ceniceros sucios,
qué hermoso era saber que estabas
ahí
como un remanso,
sola conmigo al borde de la noche,
y que durabas, eras más que el tiempo,
eras la que no se iba
porque una misma almohada
y una misma tibieza
iba a llamarnos otra vez
al despertar al nuevo día,
juntos, riendo, despeinados.
It seems to me that happiness is one of the hardest things to find in this life. I sometimes wonder if it is just THAT hard to find it, or if maybe it is by our own doing that it takes such hard work. Because of this I decided that will take whatever small happiness I can get and enjoy it for as long as I can. I have noticed that it is the tiny, small details in life which seem to bring a smile to our faces and warm our hearts. Some silly text message or e-mail, a small gesture or a gentle touch, a cup of hot chocolate and pancakes.
I ask myself if I am happy now, I think of times when I was certain that I was, I knew that I needed nothing more, only more time to enjoy it. I think of streets, people, situations, my head of full of so many memories of happiness, and I keep longing for them. I think of a bed on which I was sitting and waiting for someone to come home. I remember smiles and a group of young men cheering. I remember how it felt to be loved.
Life without all these moments seems unreal, seems impossible. I want to find the happiness I felt then, now. I try to be a bigger person and move on, like we are all supposed to. Life here seems like a dream, I keep wondering when it is that I will wake up. I feel that I belong elsewhere, that there are other things waiting for me and I want to find them. People may think that it is just a wish to get away, to be free...I just want to do what I have always wanted to do, I want to be able to fulfill the dream that I have had since God knows when.
I don't really know how to act here, I'm not entirely sure I know what it is that I'm supposed to do or how I am supposed to be. We have all changed, people I knew are different now and I know for a fact that I am a different person. I am hesitant, I am not sure of what I want and even if I knew, I don't know if I would know how to get it. It seems to me that I tend to keep a distance, not to care so much, to go with the flow and embrace whatever may come my way. I am not sure what it is that I deserve.
C'est normal que j'aie peur. It feel that I have had the best that I'll ever get. I don't see how I can do any better than that, I can't help but wonder if there is truly a possibility of anybody looking at me in the same way. Being here has become a matter of accepting the present, of being constantly brought back to reality. Absence brings me back to reality. I am living as best as I can, with what I have.
I am scared shitless. There is the possibility that there will be someone else. Someone else will come and everything starts all over again. Someone else would probably be better, it would serve as far more than a distraction, instead of yearning for the presence and company of a person that is far away, there would be a person there, present, that could be touched, seen, loved.
I am not in the spirits for searching, I am looking for nothing, except probably distractions. I thought I had found one not so long ago. Something to make the parting seem a little less hard. Funnily enough I found my distraction to be not entirely healthy for me. After the parting, it seems that what I want is to find affection, affection that will be willingly given, that I can reciprocate and that may fill a little bit of the void that has been hanging around since I got on that plane.
Why is it that we look for affection where there is none to be given? I thought that I knew what it was that I wanted until I had it in front of me and realised I would probably be better off without it. As I said before, happiness is just too damn hard to find sometimes and it seems awfully ridiculous to go around, chasing an illusion of happiness which in turn only leads to misery. I have no desire for misery, I have no desire for complications, drama and silly fights over incredibly silly subjects. I try to hold on to the silly things that put a smile on my face, I try to take the good of every situation and let the complications slide past me, unnoticed.
Why is it then, that I hold on vigorously to such a complicated situation? Because in the midst of the complications, the memories, the hopes and the disappointments...in the midst of all that chaos, I find happiness that I never knew I would experience. I refuse to turn my back on happiness like that, I refuse to simply let go and forget. I don't want to forget and I'd really like not to be forgotten.
I think of second chances, meetings, encounters. I think of streets in France, in cities unknown to me but that I wish to explore. I think of a bench next to a Park on a street in New York City. I ponder about promises that were never made in order to never be broken.
I have decided that I'll just go with the flow, all take things as they may come and I cast misery aside. The ideal thing to do, would be to shut up and be happy.
I'll just have a cup of chocolate and a plate of pancakes while I wait for happiness to arrive :)

º Le Premier Jour du Reste de ta Vie º
' The First Day of the Rest of your Life'...
Because evidently there is a day when you feel that everything changes, and that what you do from that moment on will alter and infer with the course your life takes. I do not think there is an age for this day, it's simply a moment in which you finally feel the responsibility of living fall on your shoulders with all its weight. To keep on the metaphor...I would say that it takes a while for you to get used to the new weight; you shift, you try to accommodate yourself to it and the hardest part is always when you wonder if you are going to be strong enough to keep it up.
And then, comes the waking up every morning, the days in which you look at yourself in the mirror and you think 'I can do this,' you assure yourself and you go along through the day...and then, there's the morning when you are awaken but unable to move due to the weight. It seems heavier this morning and thus you ask yourself once more..'I am going to make it?' There is an awkward shifting, rolling around, probably some sighing as you get some air in and out of your lungs...the doubt seem to press physically onto you and it pins you to the bed. The very action of setting your feet on the floor indicates that you will have to move, to act, to do.
Doing was the worst part. It is when you do not know what it is you want to do, when you do not know what it is you should do. I remember I would go to sleep wishing the morning would not come, or would take a long time to arrive...so that I would have time to consider my options, the possibilities and as always the consequences.
All these thoughts seem out of context and probably do not make sense...the story behind them is too long to tell, but I reckon that eventually I will. For now, I will just focus on the moment in which I found myself struggling between decisions and possibilities, the days when waking up seemed to be the worse thing...and I felt time passing me by, waving at me and reminding me that it was not stopping for me, that the days were still going to come one after the other.
Finally, a decision was made, I jumped on a plane and found myself on the other side of the world yet again, away from my family and friends. Away from what had meant to be the new future for me, suddenly I felt that I had completely changed the course of things and that my life had turned to a page that I never thought would have never been part of the story. Suddenly I found myself face to face with a different world and in a completely different situation and at this point I realised that the future, the following years depend on what I am capable of doing right now.
Evidently, that has now brought me to consider my own self-worth, my abilities and now every morning I wake up, stare at the ceiling, look at the person beside me and wonder if I am good enough for this. I know for a fact that I am not the only person who asks herself this genre of questions, we all do it, more often that we would like...but uncertainty plays a big role on our lives, whether we like it or not.
Thus the first day of the rest of my life started with me in a different country, with different people and with different challenges. It started with me looking at myself on the mirror and ensuring myself that I had made the right choice and now all that was left to do was to take a step forward and move on through the way I had chosen. It has been a little more that two months after this day...I still wonder about how things would have been if, I still question myself...
The thing is that when you open your eyes and you wake up to this day, you become aware of the fact that the world is right in front of you, the choices you have made have brought you to this decisive moment in which you either move forward or you let life pass you by day by day.
It puts things into perspective...I considered my options, the consequences...accepted them and took a step forward.
Here I am, walking my way through life, one day at a time.
