Today feels kind of unreal, as though I am in fact the main character of a movie and everything happens for a reason. If I listen hard enough, I swear I have the monologue voice-over thing narrating my life. This may be due to some sort of over-sized and ever inflating ego problem (very possible) OR it may be due to some freak occurrence in which I have discovered the meaning of life (unlikely).
Nevertheless, over the last couple of days things have definitely been speaking to me.. Not in the 'my lamp just told me it hates my skirt' or 'that stuffed cat just winked at me' kind of way, but in a things falling into place type way.
I think it all may have started with my decision to stay in France, and to stay with the same family for the rest of the year. In short, very good decision, and maybe karma is giving me a little pat on the back for that (definite).
Now normally I'm not the sort of girl who backs up her statements with arguments- but today logic seems like an old friend who has always been there, rather than that obscure concept that had kind of passed me by.
1- The first day I started the school year, lots of people talked to me and I felt in place.
2- I understand my new classes.
3- I went out to a Blues concert with some of said 'people who talked to me' and found new people to talk to me.
4- Am now going out with said 'new people to talk to me' on Saturday.
5- I am taking ancient Greek lessons and love it.
6- At school today a class-mate stopped me in the corridor to tell me I was 'trés belle'... See what I mean? Does that really happen in life?
And now to the points that actually relate to this blog-
7- A new friend asked me what my 'passion' was in life, and without second thought I answered 'cooking'.
8- Whilst watching 'Julie and Julia' last night on the telly, Julia Child's husband asked her what she really loved, and she answered 'eating'. Voice-over in head quietly but firmly said 'me too'.
THUS
we are brought to TODAY'S REALISATIONS-
- I love people. Meeting them, talking to them, having coffee with them and seeing Jazz with them. I always want to have somebody by my side.
- I love languages. English is my strength, I write poems to de-stress and songs to tell stories.. To me, being able to really articulate exactly how we feel is an incredible thing.
- I will learn to speak Greek. I have conquered French in 8 months, and that only makes more impatient to uncover new expressions and vocabulary and melodies.
- I LOVE TO FOOD. Surprise! But I do, and I am now 100% going to do all I can to make it a big part of my life. SO keep an eye out, because from now on you can call me Miss Devotion, because this blog will be my one and all.
Lots of love,
Georgia
