A bit of a catch up

Okay, it’s
been weeks since I haven’t posted anything here or on social media. Everything
is fine, but you know, I spend most of my time at uni, reading (for uni),
working and cuddling the barbue during the weekends so there is not much time
left for anything. But I love this blog, I love writing and sharing my
thoughts. I really have to make an effort about my presence online. It’s not
enough sometimes, even for me, to only post when I’ve got the time. I have to
make time for this blog (= stop watching friends in the evenings and star writing
more here). And I miss being here. I’m used to hear and speak English all the
time during my classes, but actually writing down my thoughts in English here is
so much more valuable and exteriorizing. It’s the same for instagram. I haven’t
posted anything in weeks and I really have to change this. It’s autumn, the
following weeks are going to be extra beautiful outside with the change of
weather so I really have to win back this inspiration I’ve been missing for
months now. The thing is, there is so much good stuff out there that sometimes
it’s hard to be content of what we produce, like it’s not good or perfect
enough. I love being inspired, but it can be so tiring sometimes. As much as I
wanted to come here more often, I have to say, it’s been nice to spend time
without being always online and checking instagram every hour. It can be overwhelming
very quickly. But uni starting again was also a good thing. I didn’t get the
chance to do everything as planned (crossing fingers for next year though) but
the courses I have are very interesting and the beginning of a new year always
inspires me. And of course, we are now officially in the best months of the
year with crispy mornings and Halloween/Christmas (OH YES) coming soon.
Anyway, I
wanted to use this post to talk to you about some good things I’ve been
listening, reading, etc. at the moment. They all worth it. First of all, let me
talk about Chris’ new album. It’s
been years now since I’ve discovered Christine and the Queens (back then), I
have seen here in London for her first album and I absolutely fell in love with
her personality, what she shows, how she talks and move and sing. She is so
interesting and talented. So obviously, I had to love her new album, which is
quite different, but as good as the previous one. If you get a chance, listen to
it, it’s great! An other French goody is this podcast: Entre nos lèvres. Let me tell you, it’s a good one (alright, pause here : I've just discovered that one of the host had a blog which I was obsessed about, I love it even more). It’s probably
my favourite podcast at the moment (or ever?). Why? Because it talks about a
topic that no one really speaks about online (or nowhere): sex. Yes, it’s great,
interesting and it’s easy to recognize our own experiences in the people’s
story. I have already learnt new things. The other great thing about this
podcast is how common and ‘normal’ those people are, it can be anyone and it’s
great to talk about a subject that everyone experience but never really say anything about it (I might give a try about this subject in the future, it’s really
interesting). On another note, I listen to Estée’s new podcast. I’m obsess with her and everything she does so I had to
(already) love her new podcast. She knows how to inspire people, help them with
a simple conversation, be real and honest and cool at the same time. You should
go and give it a try.
Alright, I
guess that’s all for today. It might be the first blog post of many to come. I’ve
got ideas, topic I want to talk about and develop with you. I’ve got books to
read and again, to talk about. I’ve got autumn to be inspired and trips to come,
recipes to share even. I’m really excited to come here again and be final
present with a content that I’m happy with. So I’ll see you all very soon.
PS: The photos are from last November in Paris. I had to put the one I haven't shared yet because they reflect such a lovely aspect of autumn. Now I just want to go back ...
Your photos are so lovely. Social media is really hard to keep up with, and I find myself falling in and out of love with it every week! Best of luck with everything.

Thanks a lot Anna, and yes, I totally agree with you. Sometimes it can be easier to let go for a bit and come back more inspired I guess.
