the old days

so here we are. 
they say that once you move on to the future, you regret the past.
well, no need to look to the future to know that it is not my past i will be longing for, but rather the past i have never known.
the past i have pictured endlessly in my mind.
the past of the 20's. 30's. 40's. 50's.
the good life.
the simple life.
the beautiful life.
when things were blissful and smiles came easy.
when what little you had was your pride and joy.
today, we own a lot. that we do. but as a result, we constantly long for more.
in this thirst, it appears that all ultimate meaning disappears.
no more true happiness.
no more selflessness.
no more identity.
i was not made for this life, and that, is for sure.
i want meaning in life.
i want passion.
i want adventure.
i want significance.
i want love.
i want enrichment.
and i want soul.


and all of this...i will have. 


"le bonheur des petites choses" will be my own personal place to bring together all the little things that bring joy to my life. the music. the pictures. the moments. the thoughts. all those tiny wonders that make life what it is and spark the best kinds of emotions. for as we all know, the littlest things take up the most room in our hearts. 


avec amour,
