10 Random little things you’re going to learn while living in Paris

 

Bonjour!

Today I’m sharing 10 random little things that you’re defiantly going to learn while living in Paris. So here we go;

 

1: There’s no WIFI availability anywhere expect at Starbucks and MacDonald (MacDo). It’s a phenomenon which I can’t explain but come on we live in 2015 isn’t it about time to have some free networks available in a big city like this?

2: You learn that French woman are your number one frenemies and French men your number one goal!

3: After a few weeks you will gain weight by eating a baguette a day and threat yourself every day for a different pastry. Pâtisseries are everywhere in Paris, not to mention all those little crêpe corners witch have those deliciously crêpe Nutella’s.

4: Having an house party will be more about wine, cheese, literature and talks about politics then getting wasted.

5: You become a history nerd spending days strolling around parks and museums.

6: The most popular French word you’re going to be using is putain. For Parisians this is more then just a curse word, they use it for everything and anything thousand times a day. With time it will be like music in your ears.

7: You realize that your social status will depend on your arrondissement. If you live in the 16^th then congratulations your official part of the little rich bubble and consider yourself ‘’one of them’’.

8: Your new best friend will be called; the color black.

9: Drinking a coffee in a café is going to be considered an actually date and hobby.

10: The metro will become your only transportation and the underground life and piss smell will feel so familiar in no time! You will be an expert in knowing all the lines and colors but will have no idea how to take the bus. ( shocker there are actually busses in Paris).

The haters gonna hate, hate, hate, baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, I shake it off – Sunday blues about negativity

Salut!

Today’s small post is just  a reminder that ‘’we cannot let the behavior of others destroy our inner peace’’.

At this very moment, I’m sitting in my apartment in Amsterdam thinking were else would I rather be. I can only  think of one place; Paris! Since I’ve moved back to Amsterdam, I will admit, it has been a struggle to deal will negativity. I know that I doesn’t matter where you are or what you do, there always going to be negative and nagging people around you.

But at some point I feel that this doesn’t apply to me when I’m in Paris. I have learned that Paris is my holy savior of all the negativity around me. Why? Because when I’m in Paris, I feel like a free bird, every little thing that happens to me there makes me happy. A trip to the bakery can just make my day! And it doesn’t matter how people stereotype the ‘’Parisians’’ it’s about your inner peace and I love the way the Parisians live their lives!!  

So how did I find my inner peace?

I turned around the negativity around me and made something positive out of them. When you do that, you’re starting  to live the best life you possibly can. If you have a lot of anger inside you use that energy for something more important like becoming a better person.  What I have learned is that change doesn’t come easy in live. Habits and negativity thoughts or people, don’t just go away by itself. So when something goes wrong or you feel like being trapped in someone’s negativity, then look at the lesson the universe is trying to teach you. If you embrace the challenge and feel happy then your automatically blocking the negativity around you.

And don’t forget everyone is different, and everyone has a own choice to do what they want with their lives! Happy Sunday my dears!
