Chasing the wrong ideal

There is a voice in my head becoming louder and clearer. I fantasize about a calmer, slower and more peaceful life in a village—one where I can be fully present. I wonder when I did buy into this ideal of life that is about running after success and recognition as a means to happiness.

Retirer à la vie tous ses filtres

Nous étions nus, allongés sur ton lit à profiter de l’instant présent. Je ne savais pas encore que ce serait notre dernière fois "ensemble". On avait pris un instant pour créer une image mentale de ce moment que nous voulions à jamais graver dans nos mémoires et dans celle du monde. Je me souviens du... Lire la Suite →
