Pondering
 |
| Joffe Constantin, 1945 |
About love and relationships. Especially about the place that these take in our lives. I feel more and more grounded in my expectations. And that's not a bad thing. I think that women need to get off their high horses and realize that there is no fairytale. All there is is life, and imperfect situations. No one is ever going to meet completely your expectations. But that doesn't mean that you should necessarily lower your standards to meet theirs. I think respecting ourselves is something we too oft forget. I had a conservation with a male coworker this week, who in these circumstances, can only be referred to as Yoda. We were talking about the male-female dynamics when he said something absolutely mind-blowing:"You know what's the problem with women, Aude? It's that when they meet a man, they put their whole life on hold for him. And their immediate goal becomes to get serious and start a family. But what about THEM? They should never forget that they should grow too, on a personal level. Otherwise, that's a major repellent." Think about it. xox
So good
Emerson Fry has done it again. Best styling around, hands down. Too bad the prices make me want to turn all Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Well done. xox
P.S. Them boots, though. Sigh.
Édimbourg, mon amour
I'm back from Scotland, my heart and eyes full of wander and gratitude. A funny thing happens in life: it's when you least expect it that you are most blown away by the beauty of things. Scotland is superb. Its people are warm and kind, its vistas are breathtaking and wild. Edinburgh is stunning and displays an absolute paradox between the old and the new. But it's the Highlands that really take the cake. I've never, in my life, have had the privilege of seeing a night sky like this. As I watched the milky ways unfold in front of my eyes, I started crying. So much beauty. If you ever have the chance to go, do it. It's a beauty of a place. xox
