Hi Paris, I’m nobody. We have spent some intense
quality time together these last five months and I have come to know you quite
well. However, you don’t know me at all.
Here I find myself liberated from all social
obligations, from the opinions of “acquaintances” and the routine of most days
in Amsterdam. It is a relief to walk the streets carelessly, bumping into
anonymous shoulders other than always the same old crowd.
Paris might get to know me one day in these five
upcoming months, but for now, I’m nobody. I am the individual I shape to be,
not the person others have made me. Or better said: the life without
expectations is a life of triumph.
Evidently any form of recognition like a “salut”, “coucou”
or “bonjour” would be much appreciated; there would not be a better place in
the world to get respect and recognition than Paris. But the power of mental
rest and peace is truly precious.
It is an essential process of moving-away, to conquer
yourself. To accept the person you have become. One day I might look back longing
for this peace of anonymity and I am therefore grateful for the experience it
has already been.
Paris, nobody can shape me like you can, can't wait for what's to come...!

That must be the perfect way to fully get to know yourself. Love how you put this in words
ReplyDeleteP.S. The H&M banner overlaps with parts of the text in the browser I'm using, not sure if it's just my screen resolution but maybe other readers might have this problem as well. Perhaps you could fix that?
Love the bag, it is beautiful!

Prachtig geschreven! Ik geloof je ook meteen als je zegt dat je jezelf heel goed leert kennen in zo'n grote (mode)stad waar je eerst helemaal alleen bent. Prachtige jasje heb je ook aan trouwens! Fijn weekend xxx
