Life is a precious thing. I don't know when or how but at some point we all forgot how precious life can be. I rejoy in the simpliest moments of life. I love afternoons and evenings with my family of friends. I can't take life too seriously.

I have learnt that I can't stay mad. I can't blame anyone. I get tired easily. I don't see the point. I don't give a fuck. It doesn't fit into my fucks budget. Carring about what they did to me or what they thought of me, are beyond me. Something I used to do. For someone who never thinks before she speaks, I was always bothered with the results.

Some people just don't matter. Surely, I will get mad. I will shot and scream. I will argue. I will cry but in the end, I will let go. It will stop bothering me. It took me a lot of efforts and a lot of time but I can now let go. It's such a powerful thing to be able to let go of what doesn't please you. It makes you happy.

It has freed my time and my mind. It's easier. Why did I even care in the first place? What's the point of caring for people who don't care about you or what they do to you?

If I had any advice to give to you, my bird, it would be to stop giving a fuck. It's such a wonderful thing.

Dance like nobody is watching. Speak like no one is listening - they are only pretending anyway. Put yourself first once in a while. Do something just for you. Be yourself and fuck the rest. Live today as if it was your last.

What if today was the last day of your life? What would you do?

Hello, my birds! I don't know about you but I'm one of those people who always expect the other shoe to drop. Every time something good happens I expect something bad to happen. It's like the magical order of things. Whenever I manage to get something, I have to loose something in return. This theory has been proven time after time. It's a fragile balance. I guess it has to do with who I'm as a person. I always go whole heart.

Trust your instincts

Over the years, I've learnt to always trust my guts. It has turned out to be the best thing I could have done. I'll admit it I'm very stubborn. I have a big mouth. Maybe too much of it at times. I always go too far, too quickly. I can be quite ill-tempered. If anything, I'm a handful. I'm often described as good only in small doses. I'm buzzing but I try to take time off to reflect on things. To reflect on what I've done and what I need to achieve. Sometimes, you know deep in your soul what's right for you and what you should do. You can tell when you need to walk away. Even if it hurts, even if it's hard, you have to trust yourself. Do what's best for you. It's okay to be selfish sometimes... In the end, it's important to know when to say stop, to start over and when to simply trust that things will work out for the best.

Never look back

If you took this decision, it was for the best. You had your reasons. Now, you will need to stick with it. Deal with the consequences. In my experience, no matter how scared or self-conscious I was, it turned out alright in the end. I have made some decisions over the last few months. Big ones. I have decided to choose myself. It may sound a bit silly but it's as cheesy as it sounds. I've decided to stop caring so much. To start giving less crap. I have stopped doing the things I didn't want to do. I don't have time to spend with people who don't even bother to check up on me. I don't have time or energy to waste anymore.

I have had a bumpy road but I'm very lucky. I've never had to deal with heavy and very difficult things. I've had an average life. I have a mother, a father and a little brother. I had a grandmother who raised me and built me into the person I am now. Even if I wish I was half the person she was, I think I turned out okay. It can sound easy. It wasn't always easy but it wasn't nothing I could not handle. Life has a way of toughen you up. Building up from the ground where it left your breathless. I'm in an happy place right now. I'm hoping it to last a little while longer. I know it won't but in the meantime I'm enjoying it as much as I can.

I hope you're having a lovely week.

If you're searching for me, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Let me know if you catch it before I do!


And you, do you trust yourself ?

Hey my lovebirds! I hope all is well for you. I'm sorry for not blogging much lately. Life's been hectic. Anyway, I decided to come back with a blog about blogging. I know we all have different reasons for doing what we do. Most of my readers are bloggers as well so I'm hoping you'll enjoy reading this blog. Full disclosure, this is going to be cheesy as f. You know how much a girl can love her cheese. It's okay to be emotional once a while, isn't it? Let's pretend, for a minute, that we're not in a heartless world. After all, we're only humans, aren't we?

So here are a few reasons WHY I LOVE BLOGGING :

1. Writing. Writing, creating content, taking photographs are some of my favourite things to do.
2. Sharing. I love sharing and discussing things with you. I LOOOVE hearing your thoughts. I like how it feels like we are amongst friends.
3. A safe place. I love having a place where I can speak my mind. Serenbird is a safe place, a place where anyone can share her/his opinions or/and his/her story.
4. You. You are absolutely amazing. I love having a place where I can talk to like-minded people. I love meeting new people and learning more about who's reading me.
5. The Blogging world. The blogging world is such a lovely place. We are a great community. Not everyone will agree but blogging has been a good adventure so far. I have been lucky enough to get support from amazing people. I love reading blogs and discovering someone else's universe.

I'm not one to throw around the world 'love' lightly. So when I say love. I definitely love my lovebirds. So yeah, this one is for you. Thank you for everything. Thank you for www.serenbird.com 'cause there won't be a serenbird without you, lovelies.
I would love to know why you blog. Why do you love Blogging? Let me know in the comments below.

Hi my loves! I hope all is well in your world. If not, don't despair, it gets better. It always does... I mean, it has to get better! I thought I would post a more personnal blog. It has been a couple of days since I've actually done a litte life update. I might do one really soon. Anyhow, here are a few facts - you might not know about me :
Coucou, mes amours! J'espère que votre monde se porte bien. Si ce n'est pas le cas, ne désespérez pas. Cela s'arrange toujours. Du moins, ça s'arrange. C'est obligé. J'ai choisi aujourd'hui d'écrire un article un peu plus personnel. Pourquoi? Car je souhaite que vous appreniez à connaître un peu plus la blogueuse derrière Serenbird. Voici donc quelques détails sur moi :

1. I'm bossy. I simply can't help it. I always end up bossing people around. I don't really mean anything by it. So sorry if I ever bossed you around! I guess that's a burden we have to bear together ahahah
I also love pretty and expensive things. I know that it's not something everyone can understand. I tend to surround myself with pretty and expensive things. I love being amongst pretty things. I would rather own one expensive thing than 200 cheap things. It's just the way I am. I splurge on things and well, who gives a shit. I work so I can do whatever the f* I want with my money.

2. I've been considering starting a youtube channel but I'm too much of a chicken to actually do it. I'm already self-critical as it is. I'm afraid my french accent is going to show. - trust me, no one wants to hear that...

3. I don't have a lot of friends and I like it that way. I would rather have one friend that I see every weekend than a thousand friends that are always busy and can't be here when I need them. I'm a very loyal person so I expect people to be there when I was there for them. Sadly, they always tend to vanish. So yeah, real and smaller circle of friends, it's then!

4. I'm sooo short. So short, I'm often mistaken for a child. Don't you dare laugh! It's no fun... Trust me. You're always too short. You wear heels all the time just so you'll have a proper - average - height. You often have trouble reaching out for things. It's quite difficult to find things suit you perfectly. You have that baby face that makes people think you're the nicest person in the world. - Hint : I'm not nice. Or at least, I like to think I'm not nice.

5. I want to live in the UK or in Ireland. It's THE big plan. That 10 years plan you've had since you were old enough to make any plans. I want to travel the world but I also want a place to call my home. I've always felt at home when I was in the UK or in Ireland. In fact, I don't think I've ever felt more at home anywhere else.

Anyway, I definitely want you to get to know me better but I also want to get to know you better. So share with me, in the comments below, a few facts about you. Come on! Don't let me stand - on my own - awkwardly in the corner... Come join me!
Thanks for reading and I'll see you soon ♥

Hey lovebirds! It's the end of the month. It's that time of the month. The time to reflect on life and to be grateful for everything.
So here's what's new with me :

1. I spent a lot of time with my family. I got the chance to see an old friend as well. On overall, it has been an amazing summer. In june, I went to London with one of my best pals. On July, I got the chance to see a lot of friends and do a lot of exciting things. August has been more focus on family and work but it was good nonetheless.

2. I finally managed to go to my hairdresser. After an awful hair incident - back in January -, I'm starting to feel like myself again. It's silly I know... But your hair is a part of you. After all, they're literally attached to your body. It's still a little too short for my taste but it'll grow back. We even decided to go a little lighter than usual. I'm so happy with my hair right now! He definitely brought back - aka saved - my hair. I swear he is a magiciant!

3. I met the most unusual and unique people this month! It has been such a delight. I love meeting people and getting the chance to know their stories. It opens up new perspectives on life.

4. I definitely feel like I've changed. I can't really explain it but I've grown a lot this year. I've changed focus and grown out of some things. I've shifted. I don't see a reason to keep doing or talking to people who bring me down. Life is simply too short.

5. I've changed a few things in my bedroom. I have a new floor and a new closet. It might not be much but it does change everything. I'm absolutely in love with how my bedroom looks.

What's new with you? What are you grateful for this month? I can't wait to hear what you have to say :) Thank you for reading and I'll see you on Friday! ♥

~ 4 posts a week. ♡

Why are you still single? Is something wrong with you ? Do you chase them away? Those are the kind of questions you're getting used to if you're single like me. Until they eventually stop and become used to the fact that you're still single. Then it becomes something like : you're going to stay single forever. you clearly are never getting married. For the record, I'm only 22 years-old. I clearly didn't realize that my clock was already ticking... Sorry about that, folks!

I recently saw the movie : how to be single. If you have not seen it yet, you definitely should! It's very funny but not that realistical about my single life. I might be doing it all wrong... Who knows... I lost my leaflet on life years ago...

I know, a lot of bloggers are actually not single. We've all seen their handsome boyfriends. Well, I'm not one of them. My last romantical relationship was in high school. It ended about a year after I graduated high school. Since then, I've been single. Unfortunately - or not - my life is nothing like in the movie how to be single.


I'm not the kind of girls who gets noticed by guys. I don't get picked or even chased after. Guys don't flirt with me. I'm your average petite brunette with a big personality. I'm blunt, friendly and clumsy. I get bored too easily. People both annoy me and amaze me. I hate judgmental pricks and injustice. I'm probably boring as well. I like being on my own. I love my freedom.

To be honest, I've only been in love once. I'm not even sure he felt the same way. I will give you more details...
Once upon a time, I fell in love with a guy that lived in a far away land and then it was over before it even began because life isn't a love story. It's simply life and people are deceitful.


And after that, there is simply nothing. I haven't had time. I've been focused on other things. I've been working and studying. I've been trying to built a life for myself. I've been trying to have a future. Maybe, they are right and maybe it's too late now.
After all, having a boyfriend by my side might not be something written in my stars. Well, perhaps, someday if I'm lucky enough. I guess, if you're an handsome and nice guy who likes me, here is your chance. If you don't hurry, dear future boyfriend, you might miss out on your decade of missed opportunities... I guess I should add that I'm single and ready to mingle... - or not. If you're single like me, I understand. I get how annoying those questions are. Let's all agree and vote for their extinction. Give us a break. Having - or not having - a special someone in my life doesn't define me. We are our own person. I wish you all to find whatever / or whoever / you're looking for...

However, if you're in a couple, stop talking about your special someone and try to remember that other people still matter when you're not single. We get it, okay? Message received. You're not single like us. Get over yourself! It doesn't make you any better than us, the single folks! Anyway, I hope you're all having a good week even if you're not single.

What about you, what are you thoughts on love and relationships? Do you have a special someone in your life?
Thanks for reading and I'll see you on Friday ♥

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

Hello, my beautiful birds!This article is slightly different from what I usually do. It's a collaboration, or maybe more of an interview kind of thing. The following questions were brought to you by my friend Romelia. She kindly accepted to do this. You can find her post here. So here it is. Please let me know if you'd like more of those type of blogs. I hope you enjoy this and thanks for reading. ♥

1) what's your morning routine?
Mmmh, I wake up, take a shower, get ready, drink my tea - and/or coffee- and eat breakfast, take care of my cat, check my emails and then go outside. Nothing quite interesting here I'm afraid.

2) what's the song that you keep listening to these days?
Mmm, that would be Someone New, from the Hozier or You me at six - Room to breath. I've gotten quite addicted to Spotify lately.

3) if you could travel to a place right now, where would it be?
Damn, I don't know which one to pick. I wish I was in a lot of places. I guess I'd stood somewhere between Ireland and England. Well, I would go to Manchester but I love Dublin just the same. Do you see my problem, here? ahahahahah

4) what's your favourite dessert?
My Italian blood is screaming : TIRAMISU.

5) how do you picture yourself in 10 years?
Oh my... That would make me 32 years old. It seems so far ahead... I don't know. Hopefully, I would have a job and travel a lot. My cat will still be by my side. Maybe a boyfriend? Who knows... That sounds like the perfect life. I'm sure it will be far from it but a girl can dream, right?





Coucou, my beautiful birds!Cet article est quelque peu différent de ce que j'ai l'habitude de poster sur ce blog. J'ai voulu tenter quelque chose de différent. Cet article a été réalisé en collaboration avec Romelia. C'est elle qui a eut la gentillesse de me poser les questions ci-dessous. Souhaitez-vous voir plus d'articles de ce genre? J'espère que vous apprécierez cet article et merci pour votre soutien ♥

1) quelle est ta routine matinale?
Je prend ma douche, me prépare, bois mon thé et prend mon petit déjeuner. Je m'occupe de mon chat puis je regarde mes emails puis je m'en vais...

2) quelle est ta chanson du moment ?
En ce moment j'écoute surtout Someone New, the Hozier ou You me at six - Room to breath. Dernièrement, je suis tombée sous le charme de l'application Spotify.

3) si tu pouvais voyager quelque part tout de suite, tu irais où ?
Damn, je ne serais choisir. J'aimerais être dans tellement d'endroits... J'imagine que je serais quelque part entre l'Angleterre et l'Irlande. J'irais sûrement à Manchester mais j'aime tout autant Dublin... Voyez-vous mon problème ici, ahah?

4)quel est ton dessert préféré ?
Mes origines Italiennes vous répondent LE TIRAMISU, quelle question.

5) comment tu te vois dans 10 ans?
Oh my... J'aurais 32 ans. Cela semble tellement loin... Je ne sais pas. Avec un peu de chance, j'aurais un travail et je voyagerais beaucoup. Mon chat sera toujours à mes côtés et j'aurais peut-être même un boyfriend, qui sait. Ça ressemble à la vie parfaite... J'en serais sûrement bien loin mais je peux toujours rêver pas vrai?

Hello, my beautiful birds! I guess this post is a little tribute to everyone and everything around me at this exact moment. Like any of us here, life gets the best of me at times. In the end, those are not the moments that count. We can choose to stay in the past or to live in the present. A long time ago, I chose to live in the now. And everyday I'm amazed. There isn't a day that goes by when life or people don't surprise me. Life and people are fiercely surprising and unpredictable. You can't control everything. You can never know for sure what will happen today or tomorrow. There is always a silver lining. No matter how often or how bad the universe kicks you, always get back up on your feet. You can do anything. You're always stronger than you think. I'm tired of people bringing each other down. Seriously, why do they feel the need to be such assholes all the time ? Don't be a prick. It's as simple as that. Life isn't about who is better than the rest. It's about being yourself and living your life the way you entend to live it. I choose to share with you today, the reasons why I still believe that even after what happens everyday in this stupid world, life is still a shade of grey. I refuse to lose faith in humanity. We can still make tomorrow a better day and a better world. Thanks for reading ♥

1. my family & my cat who thinks he is a dog ; my old friend who is my family (♥) ; my friends, those who make me laugh and always brighten up my world by their presence (some of you should recognize themselves here, right?) & those stupid kids I love.
2. books, tea, Arts, fashion and tv shows which make life so much easier.
3. being able to have a nice flat and food on my table every day. Not everyone has that chance. Remember how lucky you are. Keep your feet on the ground, kiddo.
4. To everyone who gave me chance - or not - and led me to where I'm right now : thank you so much. I wouldn't be the person I'm today without any of those people.
5. To everyone who ever believed in me : thanks a milion. Yes I'm thinking of a special teacher. I'll never forget any of the words he said to me. Words are powerful. More than one could ever think. Bad or good they never leave your mind.
