Hello my birds,

How are you doing these days? Long time no see, am I right?
Well, life has had its up and down. I guess it's the same for everyone. Life is just complicated and fragile. We've got to live through another day. No matter what. Life will go on.

I have learnt a few lessons in 2020 and early 2021, here are a few of them :
- you don't know when you will see the people you love
- always seize the opportunity life gives you
- never say no to life
- cherish every moment like it's the last
- don't let people get you down
- let go of anything that doesn't bring you joy
- no every battle is worth fighting
- trust your judgment
- don't let people make you think you're worth less than you are
- appearences are deceiving
- people always show their true colors
- people come and go and that's life


What did 2020 and 2021 have taught you thus far?

Thank you for reading and I'll see you soon ♥ x

Hello my lovebirds,

I hope all is well.

I'm someone who tends to take things at heart. I get involve and I care too easily. I feel too deeply. I understand too much. I tend to have too much empathy - more often than so for people I shouldn't feel for. I don't know when it all happened but I've grown accustomed to taking someone's pain as my own. It can be quite devastating. Over the years, I have managed to keep my emotions on check somehow by accepting and doing 3 things.

#1 Perfection doesn't exist

This one is something we've all struggled with. Society and movies keep telling us to push further. To give it our best, to achieve perfection on our way to the top. The truth is perfection doesn't exist and it would be boring if it did. Life is messy. It doesn't always go your way. No matter how much you try to fix something, some things cannot be mended. You have to accept that people, life and things are not perfect. Nothing is black or white. You might have failed today but you can still succeed tomorrow. You can always do better. Nothing is set. Everything changes.

#2 'No' is always an option

For the longest time, I was one of those people who would agree to do things they didn't want to do. I would say 'yes' simply to please someone. I have a tendecy to put myself last. I have this crazy habit of considering others before me. I'm working on it. I'm working on learning that saying 'no' is okay. You can choose yourself. You don't have to hurt someone else in the process either. You can be direct and decide what your priority is. Your choices define who you are so don't do something for the sake of it! Oh and remember that people always leave and in the end, you only have yourself. Don't loose yourself trying to please someone else.

#3 Start a fuck budget

I read the book The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F**k and it was amazing. I've grown into someone who doesn't give too much fuck to people who don't deserve one second of my time. Life is too short to give fucks to things or people who don't deserve it. Now, before deciding on doing or caring, I stop and take a second to ask myself : 'would this person do the same thing for me? Does this bring me joy? Does it sit right with me? Does it improve my life or the life of someone I love?' If the answer is no then I'm taking a step back and leaving for the next chapter.

Hello my sweet birds,

I hope all is well.

I've been toying with the idea of writing about bravery. Over the years, it has become something quite important. It can have different shapes and forms. Yet, I can observe bravery everyday and still be amazed by how brave people are. There is no small act of bravery. Sometimes being brave involves getting out of bed and sometimes it takes more than that. Sometimes it's simply standing up for yourself or someone else. Sometimes it's choosing to take the high road when all you want to do is fight. Sometimes it's kicking life to the curb. Sometimes it's simply breathing. It often involves getting out of your comfort zone.

I've never considered myself as brave. I've always felt like I was playing it safe. Always saying the right thing at the right time. Being the perfect little girl everyone wanted me to be. I'm pretty sure that for a while I was that girl. The one that had to always be perfect. Be who everybody wanted me to be. Oh boy, that girl with the broken smile was not happy. She was bittersweet.

She was a tune I could not play. It took me a long time and a big struggle to realize it. I made a promise to myself that day. Every night that I cried myself to sleep thinking that tomorrow would be my very last day, I decided. I decided that if life, god, jesus or karma decided to let me live and to give me another chance I would be better. I would do better. I would overcome my fear. I will no longer let my fears rule me.

If anyone would have told me back then that 5 years later I would still be alive, I would have not believed it. The odds were so against me. I could barely walk. My lungs were failling. My liver was crappier than ever. Breathing simply felt like it was taking away all the strength I had left. I was sick. Very sick but also tired of life pushing me around. I could barely get out of bed. Everything hurt.

And then, I got better. I got so much better. I could walk again. I could breath. I don't think I've felt happier in my life than the day they told me I was cured. I would never feel so helpless. And then, for the first time in my life I was safe.

What I mean here by sharing this part of my story is that you shouldn't wait for life to knock you down to decide to do something brave, to be brave. That's when the magic happens. Make the most of today. You can never know how much time you have left on your clock...

Thank you for reading and I'll see you soon ♥ x

Hey my lovebirds! I sat at my desk for a while, searching and thinking about what I should write. I always have a lot to say but lately I've been struggling. I have so much on my mind. I've felt so alone. I've been scrutinising my surroundings. As always I'm equally amazed and annoyed. I'm constantly fighting the urge to understand the world. I'm constantly questioning and testing the waters. Things always seem to evolve.
I'm in my 20s and there are a lot of things I don't understand. I CLEARLY don't have life figured out. It's so messy and complicated. The following blog is meant to be light-hearted and - kinda - funny. Don't take it - too - personally! It's only my stream of consciousness.


Sales Assistants who are rude.
This is certainly the most common things I've faced. If you've ever been to one of the MAC stores, you know exactly what I mean... In fact, I need to know... Is it a requirement ? Do you have to be a prick to work for MAC cosmetics ? They are a lot of other places like that. For instance, Sephora is one of them as well. It happens to the best of us. Don't get me wrong, not all sales assistants are obnoxious. I've also met some of the sweetest sales assistants. I guess there are simply too many a*holes in this world. BE NICE!

people who believe they're better than everybody else.
Speaking of them, let's talk about those vile individuals. Those who think they are THE SHIT. That is to say better than the rest of us. Dear obnoxious people, what made you this way ? I don't understand you at all. Simply because you're awesome doesn't mean you have to shout it. STAY HUMBLE! I don't get it. It spoils everything. Be yourself and don't throw up on someone else's parade. Love yourself and tolerate others. Is it too much to ask?

People who thinks they know you.
That's so ridiculous. Can you really know someone ? I don't think so. It takes time to really get to know someone. People are constantly changing. They evolve. Sometimes you can't even recognize them. Nothing is ever what it seems. DON'T JUDGE WITHOUT KNOWING.

Online shops that messes up your order.
It happens sometimes. Error is human. It's okay to fail sometimes. It's okay to make a mistake BUT when it happens every damn time. It's simply my q. Don't they check orders before sending them away? I guess, you have to BE CAREFUL of WHO YOU TRUST.

What are some things that you don't understand? I would love to know what's going in that beautiful mind of yours! Share it with me, in the comments down below or over on my twitter (@serenbird) :) Thanks for reading and I'll see you on friday! ♥

On August, there are at least 4 posts a week. ♡

Heeeey my lovelies! You might remember this blog where I explained how my life wasn't going the way I wanted it to go. Well, that's putting it simply. Maybe it's more complicated than that. Anyway, I decided to take a big leap of faith. I took it upon myself to get rid of what made me sad. Above everything else, I simply want to be happy. I want to wake-up every morning and feel like I'm doing something right. Blogging feels right. I love blogging. I love writing, taking photographs, creating contents and sharing it with you. I love talking with you, reading your comments. Ultimately, I would be lying if I claimed that I didn't wish it to be a job. However, my blog is clearly not anywhere near that. And that's okay. I got a little out of topic, sorry for all the rambling. July and june have been pretty tough on me. As I took it upon myself to make some changes in my life. I've had to go back to my parents' house after five years away - and yes, it has not been a piece of cake. I've left one of the nicest cities. I kissed goodbye to my independence and my city life to get reunited with my 'country life'. I've had to deal with (p l e n t y of) setbacks. Nothing is going right. I don't feel like my life is back on tracks or that I even have my sh** together.

It's not what happens, it's how you handle it.
I need to make up my mind. For a while, it felt like my brain was frozen. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't think. My head was deep in the dark clouds. Do I try to find a job or do I keep studying ? Do you I try (again) to get into a course that will be more 'me' or do I leave for another country ? I've been absolutely lost. I've been failing at pretty much everything for the last two years. It has been exhausting. Trying and failing. Trying my best and failing yet again. I have this habit of giving my whole to everything. Even if I hate what I'm doing, I will give it my whole. So what should you do when you keep falling ? Do you get back up and keep fighting or do you just give up and surrender ? How would you handle it ? Would you settle? When life throws a curve ball at you, what do you do ? I don't want to get into too much details but I'm trying to figure out what to do with my life. As I'm getting one step closer, life pushes me to the side. All my attempts to move on keep failing. I feel stuck.

Radiate kindness, work hard, follow your heart,
speak the truth and laugh out loud.
Life is never easy. It keeps you on your toes. It rattles you. It certainly made me realize how important it's to be grateful. I've been incredibly lucky. This year, I've been able to travel to a few different cities. I've been able to grow and work on my blog. I've met amazing people along the way. I trust my guts and my guts are always right. I've learnt how important it's to cherrish the little things. The little things like good health, spending time with my cat in the morning, lazy days in the sun, afternoon walks in the countryside, time spent with old friends and family. In the end, all is well. Everything could be worse. I need to accept that I can't win at life. I can't have it all.

I strongly believe that we should be kinder to each other. We can never know what's going on in the mind of those who surround us. Being understanding, accepting and respectful are essential qualities. I wish more people were trying to be good. I wish we were more understanding, loving and respectful of each other. I wish being different wasn't so criticized. I don't understand people who judge others without knowing their stories or those who believe they're better than the rest of us. I will never understand or tolerate those who judge a book by its cover. They are worthless - a waste of human life.

Do your thing and be happy for those who get the chance to do what they want to do. Nowadays, it's sooo rare to see someone doing something they want to do. Or maybe, it's just me ? I've noticed that passionate people are hard to come by. Don't fucking judge others for doing what feels right for them. We are all unique and different. Don't appologize for who you are.

I'm a firm believer of this thing called Karma. You get what you deserve. Yet, why is it that this world is filled with succesful assholes ? Do you have to be an asshole to succeed in life? Then, I guess I'll never have the life I've been dreaming of. I guess I will never make it. I'll never have my dream job, my dream flat, my dream life. I guess it's not written in my stars.

I'm not sure yet, if I should give up on my dreams.
I've never been much of a dreamer and yet, I've been dreaming of a different life for myself.

How do you deal with setbacks? What is toughest thing you've had to deal with? What's your life story? What are your dreams?
Thanks for reading this nothingness of a blogpost and I will see you on Monday! ♥

On July & August, there are at least 4 posts a week. ♡

Heey my lovelies! I think it's about time we catch up. Here’s what’s new with me lately…

1. On the first weekend of July, I went to a lovely wedding. ♡
2. I went back to my parents' house and it went better than expected.
3. I worked with a lot of lovely people to bring you more content on Serenbird this month! It was such a good experience. I was so happy to work on my blog and meet amazing people! ♡
4. I finally feel like I'm taking back my life. I've had a pretty busy and amazing month. I've been loving the end of June. It was tough, I won't lie. I went through some things but in the end, those 2 months were the best I've had this year!
5. I'm so thankful for this. My blog has become a huge part of me. I want to thank everyone who believed in me and was there with me every step of the way. I want to thank everyone who took a chance on me! A special thanks to my BFF Clara for her help, Lola for her patience and kindness, Louise for believing in me and telling me I'm a pro (sweet lies ahah), Valéry (I don't even know if you read my blog but well...) for reminding me why I began blogging in the first place but also to every brand who worked with me! You are absolute golden. I love all of you so much! I feel so incredibly lucky! To be honest, I still can't wrap my head around the idea that someone could be interested in what I've to say... Thank you for reading me and following me on this wonderful journey ♡

What has everyone been up to ? Thanks for reading ♥



Coucou les lovelies! Je pense qu'il est temps de faire une petite mise au point. Voilà sans plus attendre des nouvelles de ma part ou plus précisément cinq choses positives.

1. Le premier weekend de juin j'étais invité au mariage de mon cousin. C'était chouette ♡
2. Je suis retournée chez mes parents et cela se passe mieux que je pensais...
3. J'ai beaucoup travaillé sur le contenu de Serenbird en juillet. J'ai eu la chance de travailler avec des gens géniaux. Grâce à eux, j'ai pu vous apporter des posts variés et intéressants. Je suis tellement contente d'avoir vécu cette expérience ♡
4. J'ai enfin l'impression de vivre. J'ai eu un mois assez chargé mais tellement génial. J'ai apprécié particulièrement la fin du mois de juin. Ce mois-là a été difficile, je ne vais pas vous mentir. J'ai du faire face à beaucoup de choses mais au final, les mois de juillet et juin sont les meilleurs mois que j'ai vécu cette année...
5. Je suis terriblement reconnaissante pour mon blog. Mon blog a pris une grosse place dans ma vie depuis quelques mois. Je profite de ce moment pour remercier tout ceux qui m'ont soutenu et qui ont cru en mois. Certains depuis le début, d'autres tout récemment. Merci à ma meilleure amie Clara pour son aide, Lola pour sa patience et sa gentillesse, Louise pour croire en moi et me dire que je suis une pro (ce doux mensonge), Valéry (si jamais tu passes par là...) qui m'a rappelé pourquoi j'avais commencé ce blog ainsi qu'à toutes les professionnels avec lesquels j'ai eu la chance de travailler... Je tiens à remercier ceux qui ont bien voulu croire en moi. Vous êtes les meilleurs. Je vous aime fort! Je me sens tellement chanceuse grâce à vous! Je n'arrive toujours pas à croire que quelqu'un puisse lire ce blog... Merci à tous pour votre lecture et votre soutien. Merci d'avoir choisi de me suivre dans cette aventure ♡

Merci pour votre lecture, mes amours. Et vous, quoi de neuf? ♥

Hello lovelies! As I've mentioned before I love writing my thoughts down and you seemed to enjoy it as well so I decided that they will be more of this kind of blog in the future. I hope you will enjoy this one :) Thanks for reading and I will see you on Wednesday! ♥

Being alone and being lonely are two different things. We both know it so we won't deny it. You can feel lonely in a room full of people. You can be alone and yet not feel lonely. They are distinct but sometimes they meet on a common ground.

I'm sure we've all felt lonely. Maybe it was that time, you were surrounded by your closest friends and everybody was speaking. You just sat there and looked around. And for a minute there, your mind wondered. What if I wasn't there ? Would it make any difference? Would they notice if I left ? Perhaps, it was that other time when you started a sentence and never got the chance to finish it. It hits you like a wave. A wave of loneliness. It's always there. It gets to you as soon as there is a crack on the wall. And suddenly, you realize you're all alone.

Alone with yourself. You don't have anybody with you. You're dinning alone. You're waking up all alone in that empty bed of yours. You don't have that special someone anymore. You look at everyone around you, they all have someone. They are not alone while you don't have anyone else but yourself. Your friends have jobs and new friends. They are always busy so you're left behind. C'est la vie.

You're not going to make new friends or meet the love of your life. This is not a movie. This is real life, your life. In this reality, the big moment that changes everything isn't around the corner. Maybe you will meet amazing people and fell in love a few times. But in the end, it's you against the world.

So, don't be so hard on yourself. You're doing the best you can. And someday, it'll be your turn to be happy.


Coucou mes lovelies ! Comme je vous en ai parlé précédemment, j’adore écrire mes pensées et parler de sujets qui me passionnent. Je prévois donc d’écrire plusieurs articles de ce type. J’espère que vous apprécierez celui-ci. Je vous remercie pour votre lecture et on se retrouve mercredi ♥

Etre seul(e) et se sentir seul(e) sont deux notions bien différentes. Nous le savons tous deux alors nous ne perdrons pas de temps à le nier. Vous pouvez vous sentir seul( e) dans une pièce noire de monde. Vous pouvez être seul(e) et ne pas vous sentir seul(e). Ils sont assez distincts et pourtant ils leur arrivent de se croiser en terrain neutre.

Je suis sûre qu’il vous est déjà arrivé de vous sentir seul(e). Peut-être était-ce cette fois où vous étiez entouré de vos amis les plus proches. Ils parlaient tous entre eux. Et vous, vous êtes resté(s) assis là et vous avez regardé autour de vous. Et l’espace d’une minute, vous êtes interrogé(e)(s). Et si je n’étais pas là ? Le remarqueraient-ils ? Peut-être était cette autre fois où vous avez commencé une phrase et ne l’avez jamais terminé. Cela vous frappe comme une vague. Une vague de solitude. Elle est toujours là, sur votre épaule. Elle attends, guette le moment où elle pourra se glisser entre les mailles du filet. Et soudain, vous réalisez que vous êtes seul(e)(s).

Seul(e)(s) avec vous même. Vous n’avez personne à vos côtés. Vous dinez seul(s)(e). Vous vous réveillez seul(e)(s) dans votre grand lit vide. Vous n’avez plus cette personne spéciale près de vous. Vous observez ceux qui vous entourent. Ils ont tous au moins quelqu’un. Ils ne sont pas seuls. Et vous, vous n’avez que vous-même. Vos amis ont un travail et des nouveaux amis. Ils sont toujours occupés et vous êtes laissés pour compte. C'est la vie.

Vous n’allez pas vous faire de nouveaux amis ou rencontrer l’amour de votre vie. Ceci n’est pas un film. Ceci est la vie réelle, votre vie. Ce grand moment qui va changer votre vie n’est pas au coin de la rue.

Peut-être que vous allez rencontrer des gens géniaux et tombé(e)(s) amoureux. Mais à la fin du compte, c’est vous face au reste du monde.

Alors ne soyez pas si sévère avec vous-même. Vous faîtes de votre mieux. Et un jour, ce sera votre tour d’être heureux.

Hi my lovelies! I've always had a bit of troubles understanding why being human is viewed as a sign of weakness. How can vulnerability, openness and honesty be signs of weakness? We are who we are. There is nothing we can do about that. We are vulnerable. We have emotions. We have hearts. We feel things. We think. We speak. We understand. We exist. We have flaws and insecurities. We are only humans.

As humans, sometimes we have to deal with some (tough) shit. Some of us are sick or worse. Some of us are fighting battles we don't even suspect. We simply can't know everything. There is no way to know everything about someone... Or is there?

I was wondering what does 'being strong' mean for you? What's being strong ?

For me, being strong is fighting against the tide. Being strong is holding on. Sometimes, it only means getting out of bed in the morning. Sometimes, it's about being able to fake a smile. Sometimes, it's having the strength to stand up for what you believe in. Being strong is knowing when to give up and when to keep going.

If you ever feel like you're not strong enough, I've something to say to you :

You can do it. You're always going to be enough - for me at least. You matter. I believe in you, my fantastic human being.

By the way, let's just agree that on Serenbird, there is a NO bullshit policy. We've all been there. Being human is not a weakness. It's a strength.

Thanks for reading and I'll see you on Friday! I would love to hear what would be your definition of STRONG ! Please, let me know in the comments below! ♥

Coucou mes lovebirds! J'ai toujours eu un peu de mal à comprendre pourquoi être humain était considéré comme une faiblesse. Pourquoi devrait-on considérer la vulnérabilité, l'ouverture d'esprit et l'honnêteté comme une faiblesse? Nous sommes qui nous sommes. Nous ne pouvons pas y faire grand chose. Nous sommes vulnérables. Nous avons des sentiments. Nous avons un coeur. Nous ressentons des choses. Nous pensons. Nous parlons. Nous comprenons. Nous existons. Nous avons des défauts et des insécurités. Nous sommes seuls humains.

En tant qu'humains, nous sommes parfois confrontés à des situations assez difficiles. Certains d'entre nous sont malades ou pire. Certains d'entre nous combattent des batailles que nous ne soupçonnons même pas. Nous ne pouvons simplement pas tout savoir. Il n'y a pas de véritable façon de connaître entièrement quelqu'un, n'est-ce pas ?

Je me demandais qu'elle était votre définition de l'expression être forte/solide.

Pour ma part, être forte signifie aller à contre courant. Être forte s'apparente à votre capacité à tenir bon. Parfois, il s'agit simplement de se lever le matin et de sortir de votre lit. Parfois, c'est simplement réussir à afficher ce sourire faux. Parfois, être forte est de défendre vos idéaux. Être forte est savoir quand continuer et savoir quand s'arrêter.

Si vous jamais vous avez l'impression de ne pas être capable de faire quelque, souvenez vous que :

Tu peux le faire. Tu seras toujours assez - pour moi en tout cas. Je crois en toi, petit être humain.

D'ailleurs, mettons nous d'accord sur le fait que les bêtises sont laissés à la porte d'entrée de Serenbird. Nous sommes tous passés par là. Être humain n'est pas une faiblesse. Bien au contraire, c'est une force.

Merci pour votre lecture et on se retrouve vendredi! N'hésitez pas à me dire ce que vous en pensez dans les commentaires ci-dessous! ♥

When life gives you shit, shit on life.
I think you get my point here. We've all had those days where everything goes wrong - and everything turns to shit. *inserts poop emoji here* Life can't always be good. Trust me, I know. I've been having a couple of shitty months. The kind of months were everything isn't going the way you want it to go. You've planned everything in a certain way and nothing is happening according to plan. I guess I shouldn't be planning so much. To be honest, I can't help it. I'm a bit of a control freak. I like to be in control and organize everything. I'm never bored. I always have a lot of things to do. This month has been pretty hectic. Not everything was good but it wasn't all bad either. My future has never been so uncertain. I don't even have a flat to live in... Something went wrong with my new flat. After all, I won't be moving into a new flat but I still have to move out of my current flat. So it has been quite tricky... To be honest, things are quite messy. Actually, as you're reading this, I should be done with all that jazz. Who know where I'll be. Life has been quite unpredictable... To say the least. And, my control freak brain is freaking out.

One thing, I've learnt so far is that when things get tough, you're left on your own. In the end, you only have yourself. Yourself to blame and yourself to move on. But I'll get back to that part, in few days.

I'm only human. You're only humans. We are only humans. Summer is here. Things are changing. The sales are on and I don't even feel like shopping. Can you believe it? I simply feel sad. It's not the kind of sadness that can be cured by shopping therapy. The only thing that can fix this is good news. Maybe, the rainbow is just around the corner. Maybe, it's all I need. A little ray of sunshine. I hope you're doing better than I'm. In case, you're not feeling well, here is a few words :

Things will get better. You're stronger and smarter than you think. You can do it. Don't let a bad day get the best of you.

Hello there, lovely people! In this blog, we will explore the notion of dreams. If you're interested, thank you for reading and if not, I will see you next time! Let's get right into it, shall we?

So, I was raised with the acknowledgment that dreams were useless. My mom would constantly remind me that dreams were a waste of time. Dreams didn't came true. They were never attainable and that was why they were called dreams. I should always settle for what was at reach. I should never want more than what I already had. Basically, she would always advise me to play it safe.

Merriam Webster's dictionary defines DREAM as : ' a strongly desired goal or purpose. '
― A BAD OR A GOOD THING?
I don't necessary think that dreams are a bad things. I think kids need dreams. They need to believe that they can do anything. I mean, if a kid is already bitter about life, how is that same kid going to feel when he gets older?
Sometimes, dreams do come true. Certainly, it only happens once in a blue moon... but should you give up on your dreams? They could become true BUT it doesn't happen over night. It takes a lot of time, luck and efforts. Not everyone gets the chance to live their dreams. Otherwise, it would be too easy.
Sadly, there is a dark side to any dream chasing. The kind of dreamer who doesn't get his/her wish. It can be soul crushing. I guess the important thing is to set a goal (a dream goal) that is attainable. Something you know you could reach for. Stars are just as good as the sky - if you know what I mean!

― AM I A DREAMER?
I honestly don't know. I guess I'm both an Idealistic person and a realistic person. At times, I can be too realistic. I will see a bad situation for what it is and deal with it. On the other hand, I think all things have a positive side even when they dont. One thing is sure I'm a firm believer of Karmic Retribution. I believe that you get what you deserve. In other words, what comes around goes around!

What about you? Are you a dreamer ? Let me know in the comments below ♥ I can't wait to hear what you have to say! x


Bonjour mes lovelies! Dans cet article, nous allons parler des rêves... Merci pour votre lecture et si vous n'êtes pas intéressé(e)s, on se retrouve dans un autre article! Allons donc droit au but, voulez-vous?
J'ai été élevé avec l'idée que les rêves n'avaient pas d'intérêt. Ma mère me rappelait constamment que les rêves étaient une perte de temps. Les rêves ne se réalisaient jamais. Ils n'étaient jamais atteignables. C'était d'ailleurs pour cela qu'on les appelait des rêves. Je devais toujours me contenter de ce qui était à porter de mains. Je ne devais jamais espérer plus que ce que j'avais déjà. En résumé, elle me conseillerait toujours de miser sur la sûreté.

Le dictionnaire Larousse définit un RÊVE comme une Représentation, plus ou moins idéale ou chimérique, de ce qu'on veut réaliser, de ce qu'on désire. ― UNE BONNE OU UNE MAUVAISE CHOSE?
Je ne pense pas que les rêves soient forcément une mauvaise chose. Les enfants en ont besoin. Si un enfant est déjà amer au sujet de la vie, comment fera-t-il lorsqu'il sera plus âgé? Parfois les rêves se réalisent. Certes, cela n'arrive qu'une fois tous les dix siècles... Mais est-ce véritablement une raison d'abandonner tes rêves? Ils peuvent se réaliser mais cela n'arrivera pas du jour au lendemain. Cela prend beaucoup de temps, de chance et d'efforts. Nous n'avons pas tous la chance de réaliser nos rêves... Sinon, ce serait trop facile, voyons!
Malheureusement, il y a un mauvais côté au fait d'être un rêveur. Le genre de rêveur dont le rêve ne se réalise pas, peut-être dévasté. J'imagine que comme dans beaucoup de choses, il faut agir de façon mesurée. Il faut se donner un but (ou un rêve) qui soit atteignable. Quelque chose de réaliste. Et surtout, il ne faut pas oublier que parfois les étoiles sont bien mieux que le ciel!

― SUIS JE UNE RÊVEUSE?
Honnêtement, je n'en sais rien. Je suis tout autant réaliste qu'idéaliste. À certains moments, je suis peut-être trop réaliste. Je vais observer une situation pénible et faire avec. Cependant, d'un autre côté, je crois que chaque mauvaise chose a un côté positif. Une chose est certaine, je crois très fort au Karma. On récolte ce que l'on sème.

Et vous qu'en pensez-vous ? Êtes vous un rêveur ? Expliquez moi tout dans les commentaires :) J'ai hâte de lire vos avis ♥

Hello my lovelies! I hope all is well. I gathered in this blog some advices but don't take my words for it, ahahah!
I'm a fairly optimist person. I will always assume the worst of people. Nonetheless, when it comes to my life, I will always hope for the best. I believe that life is made of small leaps of faith. We can never know or predict what's going to happen, so why worry about something that probably isn't going to happen? We all have our moment of doubts when we feel like we can't do anything right... And that's okay. We are only humans after all.
Sometimes we are faced with so much negativity that it feels like everything is doomed. At some point in our lives, we all have to deal with negativity. Whether it's coming from a friend, a relative or even ourselves : it's there. It's like a dark cloud surrounding us. Sometimes, it's difficult to see past the negativity. Sometimes it seems like nothing is going right. We are - too often - waiting for the other shoe to drop. However, negativity attracks negative results. So, it's like a vicious circle. The more you expect the worst, the more chances you have to end up with it.

Recently, I've been facing a lot of negativity. It came from all fronts. I felt overwhelmed. It was like I couldn't breath or think... I was deep in the dark cloud. That's when I decided to take the matter into my own hands... I found two ways to deal with the negativity in my life. So here are some tips&tricks on 'how to' deal with negativity.

― TAKE A STEP BACK :
This one is quite obvious. Nevertheless, I think it's important to stress it out. Taking a step back from negativity is essential. You have to look at it from a distance. You have to be like : ' okay. this is affecting me. why did I let it get to me ? & how can I fix it ? ' Basically, you have to take a moment to think. You have to fight the negativity. You have to keep it outside your head. Don't let it in. In the end things will work out. Take a deep breath. Force yourself to switch off from any online activity, tv or anything that can distract you and deal with your negativity problem.

― STAY AWAY FROM THE SOURCE OF THIS NEGATIVITY :
If you can't fix it, then, pretend it's not there - but only for a while. Take a vacation. Take a few days off. Just simply, take some time to do things you enjoy doing. Your problems will still be there when you get back but at least you'll be able to face them serenely. Take advantage of this time to do things you've always wanted to do and couldn't before!

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end. "

Thanks for reading and I'll see you on Wednesday! I would love to hear what you thing and what are your ways to deal with negativity! Let me know in the comments below! ♥


Bonjour mes lovelies! J'espère que tout va bien pour vous :) J'ai rassemblé dans ce post quelques conseils... Mais bon, ne prenez pas mes mots pour paroles d'évangile! Je suis quelqu'un d'assez optimiste bien que j'imagine toujours le pire venant des autres ahaha Cependant quand il s'agit de ma vie, j'essaie de rester positive. Je pense que la vie est faite d'acte de foie. Il faut y croire pour qu'il ait une chance que cela se réalise. Nous ne pouvons jamais vraiment savoir ce qui va se passer. Nous avons tous ces moments de doutes où nous avons cette terrible impression d'être incapable de faire quoi que ce soit... Et ce n'est pas grave. Nous ne sommes qu'humains. Échouer est humain.
Parfois, nous sommes confrontés à tant de négativité qu'il semble qu'un nuage noir se tient au dessus de nos têtes... À un moment ou un autre, nous devons y faire face. Que cela vienne d'un ami, d'un membre de notre famille ou de nous même, la négativité est partout. Parfois, il est facile d'avoir l'impression que tout va de travers... Nous attendons bien trop souvent qu'une mauvaise chose succède à une bonne chose. La négativité attire la négativité. S'imaginer le pire peut entrainer quelque chose de mauvais. Partir perdant d'avance vous fera rarement arrivé premier. C'est un cercle vicieux.
Dernièrement, j'ai été confronté à beaucoup de négativité... Cela venait par tous les fronts. C'était assez accablant! J'avais cette impression de ne plus pouvoir respirer ou penser correctement... Un nuage noir m'entourait.. C'est à ce moment là que j'ai choisi de me ressaisir. Voici quelques conseils que j'ai trouvé utile :

― PRENDRE DU RECUL :
Ce point est sûrement évident. Cependant, il me semble important d'insister là dessus. Il vous faut prendre du recul sur ce qui vous pose problème. Il vous faut vous questionner. Vous demandez : "okay, ceci m'a blessé. pourquoi est-ce que cela m'a atteint ? comment puis-je résoudre ce problème? " En gros, vous devez prendre le temps de penser et ne pas vous enfermer dans un flow de pensées négatives! Prenez une forte inspiration et déconnectez vous du monde virtuel et de toutes les distractions qui vous entourent. Tentez de régler les choses. Agissez!

― S'ÉLOIGNER DE LA SOURCE DE CETTE NÉGATIVITÉ :
Si vous n'arrivez pas à régler le problème, prétendez qu'il n'est plus là. (mais seulement pendant un petit moment) Prenez des vacances. Prenez quelques jours de repos. Oubliez vos tracas le temps d'un weekend. Ils seront toujours là à votre retour mais au moins vous serez apte à les affronter plus sereinement. Profitez de ce temps pour faire quelque chose que vous avez toujours souhaité faire!

Tout finit toujours bien, si ça ne va pas, c'est que ce n'est pas la fin. "

Merci pour votre lecture et on se retrouve mercredi! J'ai hâte de savoir ce que vous pensez de tout cela. N'hésitez pas à me parler de votre façon à vous de gérer la négativité, dans les commentaires ci-dessous! ♥

Heey my lovelies! I think it's about time we catch up. Here’s what’s new with me lately…

1. I had an amazing (3rd of June) weekend. I probably ate way too much...
2. Everything is changing at the moment. Everything is moving towards the future. I'll be moving out of my current flat soon. It's equally scary and exciting.
3. I will be going to London very soon. I can't wait to be reunited with one of my favourite city ♥
4. I'm so thankful for my granny. My grandmother is my rock. She is absolute golden. She is the best thing ever. I don't know what I would do without her.
5. Blogging, I love writing and blogging in general. It's one of best thing. I couldn't thank you enough for reading me ♥ It means the world to know someone is taking the time to read what I have to say!

What has everyone been up to ? Thanks for reading ♥



Coucou les lovelies! Je pense qu'il est temps de faire une petite mise au point. Voilà sans plus attendre des nouvelles de ma part ou plus précisément cinq choses positives.

1. J'ai passé un super weekend au début du mois. J'ai surement trop mangé...
2. Tout change et se bouscule autour de moi. Le futur me tends les bras! Je vais bientôt déménagé dans un nouvel appartement... C'est à la fois effrayant et excitant!
3. Je pars bientôt pour Londres. J'ai hâte de retrouver une de mes villes préférées. ♥
4. Je suis tellement reconnaissante d'avoir ma grand-mère. Elle est tout mon soutien et bien plus que ma famille. C'est la meilleure. Je ne sais pas ce que je ferais sans elle.
5. Écrire mon blog, j'adore écrire et blogguer en règle générale. C'est l'une des choses que je ne regrette pas du tout bien au contraire. Je vous remercie pour votre soutien et de continuer à me lire. Ça me fait tellement plaisir de savoir que vous êtes là ♥

Merci pour votre lecture, mes amours. Et vous, quoi de neuf? ♥
