A spring day in Paris

A perfect day. Spring gave life to Paris, the city of my dreams, and now I’m glad to see that one of my dreams came true. Mornings are wonderfully romantic and extremely pleasant. A traditional breakfast and a walk on the Elysian Fields. And how to visit Paris and not get up to the top of the Eiffel Tower to admire the splendor landscape of this wonderful town? Some people may ask: what’s so special about Paris? Absolutely ordinary roads, bridges, old buildings, people  like many others, but I’d say: No. Everything is different here, even the air is different. I keep holding a small cup of coffee in one hand, a croissant in the other, but nonetheless, I’m looking at the clear azure sky and I can not imagine a moment more perfect  than this.

Inevitable

How can you wake up in the morning and not think about someone you love, walk on the street and not notice the sun shinig bright, people walking in a hurry, but still with a smile on their faces, boys with roses and presents in their hands? Ohh,well, you can`t, cause today is Valentine`s Day!!!

Today is a special day for every loving heart and it`s nothing more pleasurable than a few sweet words and maybe a cute present, but I think we can show how much we love someone without any material goods, just true feelings and love. I don’t want to talk about love, cause I’m sure we all know how is it beautiful, extraordinary and unique in its own way, for each person is different, it’s unpredictable, but that’s  more interesting, because you might fall in love in the less expected moment. The most important thing is that no matter what happens, how far we are from each other and how much we miss those people that make us happy, it’s necessary to share some love, to make other people happy even if we’re not, to smile and to think positively, even if we’re pessimistic till the bones. I have no one whom to dedicate my heart, no matter how much I want it and there are plenty of people who’re in the same situation, but, as I said, today is a special day and love is the only thing that will unite  all people on this earth who loved, love and will keep loving everything and everybody. So, my advice is to leave the sadness apart and to spread love in the hearts of everyone.

 

 

I’d better keep things to myself

Sometimes you feel like nobody can understand you. You can talk, you can scream, write or sing, but no matter how you try, these words never get to the right destination.  I am an ocean of words shaken by the waves, bathed in sunlight, but never brought ashore. I can’t hide my feelings, it’s like everything’s written on my face, but what’s the point, if no one can see it? I don’t know what about the others, but I am in a total confusion. It is said that it’s better not to hide your feelings and say what you feel, in order to let the others know how we feel, but there are times when you confess and explain, share your feelings, but what you get instead? heartbreaks, tears and broken dreams. I’m not talking about those happy moments that you share with you friends and family, the times when you smile and feel like you could touch the sky, I’m talking about the moments of sadness you grow inside your soul and people who are too happy and satisfied with their lives, that can not treat your pessimism right.

The conclusion: I’d better keep things to myself, until I’ll find someone who will probably feel the same way or at least have the strength of character to listen to what I’ve got to say.

 

Gentlemen

” they say being a male is a matter of birth, being a man is a matter of age… but being a gentleman is a matter of choice “

Unfortunately, today gentlemen are a rarity. Many of the boys forget about the good manners and act like they have no obligations at all. We’ve almost forgot how a real man should look like. There are many things that men nowadays do not respect and moreover, many of them behave unjustly towards the female gender. Each boy receives some education in early years, but with the time and living environments, depending on friends and interests, some of them forget to be men, and act like losers. I do not want to be rude, but sometimes I wish that in my way would appear a real man who could make the male gender pride ourselves in the fullness meaning of this word.

These days a found a list of the rules to always being a gentleman and I think it’s worth reading and following :

• Say ” Please” and “Thank You”;
• Work hard;
• Mind your manners;
• Offer a woman your seat;
• Don’t curse;
• Extend a firm hand shake;
• Keep your word;
• Respect your elders;
• Always make eye contact;
• Open doors for others;
• Stand up straight;
• Stay well-groomed;
• Act chivalrous;
• Read books often ;
• HAve a romantic sensibility;
• Shy away from gossip;
• Be punctual;
• Love well;
• Stay humble.

“A smart guy will open your mind, a good-looking man will open your eyes, but a gentleman will open your heart.”

A good-looking man is always an attractive one, but when he shows his good manners it’s even better. I think that men that wear suits are more handsome than those who have no style and wear sport clothes. But that’s only my point of view and I’m sure that many girl love those boys for their virtues  not for their type of clothing.

One day I had a great surprise, a strange boy gave me a rose, I guess that was because he was waiting for his girlfriend and she didn’t come.  But still, it was a very noble gesture. Not every day you get flowers, beautiful words in your address or even pleasant glances from men. However, it would be nice if at least once, women could feel wanted and appreciated for their way of being and men to be proud of their deeds.
