Yes, this is what I feel at the moment. I am not sure if it is a good or bad, I just know that it feels like I am floating without any particular purpose.
I guess it is not good...We should all have a passion to achieve something, small or big or at least have a purpose. Maybe we can call that a mild depression or maybe this is a result of a long period of sleep deprivation. It is a strange sensation, it is as if someone can poke me hard and I still will not react.
Anyway, I went to Rome for a couple of days, a very short trip, just to get some fresh air, away from unhappy thoughts, see new faces, be in a new city, eat different foods, have fun. I did all that ;-). It was a culturally rich trip, so many things to see, to learn, to experience. I have always enjoyed being in Italy even though France has already been on the top of my list of favourite country in EU, maybe Italy is second? hmm. I like being where people have a definite way of enjoying life and project that to others around them. I think the French have certainly mastered the art of entertainment very well. Honestly, all the troubles with cutlery, the protocol for a formal dinner...but you also have the lifestyle where you need little as good bread and cheese and a bottle of good wine, sitting next to the river in the sun, enjoy all of that. Sometimes, when I see that, I think life couldn't be better. This scenery always make me dream of how simple life can be if we want to.
The similarity is probably both French and Italian take time to eat and drink, it takes forever, and it involves the know-how of eating ;-), what dish is what, how to...I am always amazed. I like both languages, they both speak love ;-), so lovely even though we might not understand a word but they just sound so great. Hmm, I should probably stop here, my mind starts to wonder :-)
Rome with its long, amazing history, with its many piazzas, many beautiful churches, many palaces, its people walk around in sun-glasses, with its fountains, with its street arts, with the way people cross the streets without waiting for the traffic to stop, with friendly people, with the sun shines as if rain has ever come...My heart melted.
