A letter from October 22nd, 2016

 Dear FutureMe,

How's it going? I hope things are better now. By that I do not really mean any specifics actually but I hope you are happy wherever you are. You're probably in the same city and working for the same company. A gentle reminder though, work contract will end next year. So what's the plan? Do you still want to stay in the same place or go somewhere new -- this time -- by yourself. Europe, maybe?

Speaking of Europe, I hope your Georgia trip happened a month ago and that it was a good one. Finally, after years of talking to a stranger who became the onewholistensyouyourblabberingspatientlyonline friend. I hope nothing weird has happened. Or something unlikable.

What's the next step from here? I hope you have a plan. As you always do in everything. But I hope you do have a solid plan.

Currently, if this is still interesting to you, I am listening to Smashing Pumpkins' The Mellon Collie demos on YouTube. There's something beautiful with demos. I think it is better to hear demos than the original recordings from any artists actually. I think it shows the rawness and how the song should be. It's just lovely to hear a piece of art in its "original" state. I have no idea what I am talking about but these demos that I am listening to is softly swaying me and carrying me back into my it's-night-time-it's-time-to-pour-your-emotions-in-a-piece-of-paper mode. It's amazing.

That's all for now.

Cheers to 26 years,

Debie

Remembering how it feels to write random thoughts

-
We went for a walk in the neighbourhood after lunch today. The flowers are blooming everywhere, it is so beautiful in Spring. During our walk, I told my husband that we go to Picard to get some frozen goods and he thought to get ice cream too. I am sure that we have ice cream in the fridge but my husband kept insisting that Picard's ice cream is still better. He is really craving for it! I don't remember how it tasted like to be honest but I trust his judgment when it comes to food. Unfortunately, the shop is closed (it's a public holiday - no one is working today - what were we thinking!) so we will go next time. Anyway, going back home, my husband took a small elderberry flower for me that I can put in my small vase. The house smells good, but he doesn't smell it.  I do not know where this blog entry is going... I just miss writing! It just feels much better to write whatever is in my mind. I've been consuming a lot of quick small content that in the end probably ...

Another Golden Summertime

Summer has been great so far although the heat wave two weeks ago was awful - it was only 4 days of staying more indoors than enjoying the sun. And while tomorrow may be another 30-something, I do enjoy the presence of more sun and daylight. So I am enjoying this season a bit more outdoors so I can hold on to something when Winter comes back in a few months. There's a lot of places I'd like to visit, but something in me (and my husband - probably because we did not plan a trip anyway) wants to stay in our home. Visiting Paris on weekends is enjoyable somehow. As they say, it's the perfect time to visit Paris because the Parisians are out - but I'm not sure about that. The last time, there were lots of tourists in the city and in the metro... I'm not complaining cos I still see myself as a tourist here too! So anyway, we visited the Conciergerie last weekend and spent sometime around the city after that. The visit was good; the country's history is really interes...

Have we not established that the little things are the big things?

How amazing it is to realize that over the years, the little things that I've done make up the big things that I at least consider. For other people, I may not have done enough but then I don't live up to someone's standards anymore. (I used to and it's ugly). I'm thankful that I have documented almost everything in life. Some things don't change but I'm glad most things do. Oh life , you are like a plain sky to me at times but whenever I look back to all the days I've lived, you showed me the brightest rainbow in the sky. I will do more little things, step by step. And so, when I look back again, I am sure it's going to be bigger than what I consider now. It's inspiring; it's addictive to live life simply but progressively. So I will go on and on until my last days.  We only live once , so we might as well do things right.
