Wanderlust.
Heading to Italy for the weekend with the fool. The move my body is aching for is bigger though. Keep the eye on the money…
The Dirt Field
They say the grass is greener on the other side. Except that sometimes, it's just a dirt field.

One year.
3 continents.
11 countries.
24 cities.
Wow. 2011, you were great to me.
Nicaragua has been great. My relationship with my parents is stable right now. Christmas was nice and chill. Friends have been abundant, best friend time has, as always, been exactly what I needed.
Except tonight, after a great time at the beach and then at a bar terrace, each with a different yet amazing set of friends, I find myself missing him and wishing I could be laying in my bed back in Lyon in his arms. It scares me, but I am ready to invest myself more in this relationship. I haven’t felt this way for over two years. And despite the fear, it’s exhilarating.
2011 has been an amazing year, despite not having been able to go to Australia. Even if eight months there would have been amazing and, I’m sure, life-changing, I do not regret one bit what this year has brought me. I have made amazing memories with my friends and my family in many, many amazing places. I travelled far and wide, and I finally came to peace with my past mistakes, with my family, my relationships and my own self. I feel like I finally came into my own this year, even if it took years of ups and downs. Ultimately I needed those experiences and those hard times to make me the person that I am today, and I can finally say that I am proud of that person. I can only hope that 2012 will be half as incredible as this year has been. I’ve been happy, incredibly so, and that’s no small feat. And that’s because I finally reached a point in my life where I am comfortable with who I am and the decisions I have made throughout my life. And of course, the people that are now in it. I am incredibly grateful for all of that. After my first four, very tumultuous years in France, I needed a year like this one.
I am so excited for what’s to come.

“Ne pleurez pas votre passé car il s’est enfui à jamais. Ne craignez pas votre avenir car il n’existe pas encore. Vivez votre présent et rendez le magnifique pour vous en souvenir à jamais”
I wish it were so easy…

La Mayenne, where Aurel comes from. Gorgeous place. I need to explore the north of France more.
I haven’t yet figured out how to deal with the feelings I have developed for Aurel. But they are definitely there.
