A Love Letter To Paris

I didn't think falling in love with a city was possible until I met you.

A Love Letter To Paris
Olivia Dahlstrom

Paris,

Where do I even begin? The first day I saw you I was already in love with your beautiful buildings, french speaking citizens and macaroons. Let's not forget about the Eiffel Tower, which I had no idea lights up like a sparkler every hour for five minutes. How about the fact that your palaces have real gold, and the tube is filled with musicians that are so talented they should be playing in a symphony.

But the thing that made me fall in love with you the most was that one word, yes, love. Everybody in Paris is filled with so much love that my whole being just wanted to smile. Maybe it's a lot for some people, because the french have no worry about being physical no matter where they are. For me, it was a reminder that everyone can be in love. You even have a damn wall in Montmartre with the words, "I love you" in every language across the globe.

People were on dates under the Eiffel Tower with bottles of wine and cheese and baguettes, and meanwhile in America a boy just invites you over for Netflix. Everyone in Paris is always holding hands, or kissing or hugging. Even when you meet people you kiss each other on the cheek. God, if we did that in the states people would think you were mental.

I didn't think falling in love with a city was actually possible until I met you, Paris. That I could be so infatuated with a place blew my mind but also warmed my heart.

I will be back one day. Hopefully living in an apartment above the seine, if I'm wealthy enough or lucky. But either way, I'll see you again because I know I'm meant to be there and I've never felt like that in my entire life.

Je t'aime Paris, à bientôt. Mon coeur t'appartient.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
