A dream within a dream








What is reality and what is a dream is not yet completely clear to me now that I have come back to Paris (back home). Everything that happened in this city seems as a distant past, a dream barely, perhaps a wild fantasy that took place in my mind sometime somewhere. I can remember all friendships I made in Paris but they seem absurdly unreal, like it all has never happened. My head is now full of faces of my family and close friends, of our dearest dog, of a huge bed with a couple of matresses one on top of another, of home healthy food, of debates and talks that outdid all my conversations here in Paris where I had neglected almost all the intellectual, the artistic, the cultural. Incrdibly, after a few hours spent here my mind is now beginning to clear itself, to erase and delete all the memories from home and slowly this too seems but a dream. I know not where and who I am today, perhaps tomorrow will bring me a new identity, perhaps when I meet everyone from the dreamy past I will be the same, perhaps not, I cannot tell as tonight my reality is as vague as possible.

Hello - Goodbye

For the last four months I have obtained a new family composed of a bunch of crazy, funny, 
international people who have become basically a part of me. There wasn't a day that we were not together and in the last month there was practically no night we were not together. Of course you realize from the very beginning that it is going to be like this, that you will cry your heart out when they leave and that you will seriously consider living under the bridge just to stay in Paris after the whole thing is over. Being attached means having a really hard time saying good bye - you know that very well in advance as well. You are also completely aware of the fact that this would not be even a half much fun as it is if it were not of such short period. 

But, damn, reason will never help you out here. Life goes on, brings you new mindbogglingly experience, new people, new environement. No, reasoning doesn't do much. And, damn again, I am only leaving for a week back home and I miss my parisian family already.
