Passionate In Paris
I’m the daughter of a sewer and a book-worm, and the sister of the most compassionate boy in the world. I live in New Zealand but I left my heart in Paris, on the steps of the shining Sacré-Coeur. Some of the people I love wear silver bow rings and have tight curls and give fashion advice and rave to rap music and read their Bible and twirl their ponytail and teach me French slang and decorate with feathers and share soft hugs and squeeze my hand tight as the aeroplane takes off. If I love you that will involve bouncing and driving fast and cute texts and long conversations and star-gazing and second-hand book stores and pink wool and Frank Sinatra songs and tears and bottles of champagne and Oscar Wilde quotations and, above all, tender hugs and passionate prayers.

The best thing about French:
- Person: "Ça va?"
- Other person: "Ça va. Ça va?"
- Person: "Ça va."

‘tsundoku’ - the Japanese word for buying books & not reading them, leaving them to pile up.
Hehe. Had a fab time at the book fair! :)

"He’s attracted to her loving spirit. She’s passionate, vulnerable, feminine, attractive, and caring. He’s drawn to her kindness, her warmth, her fun-loving spirit. She’s adaptable, responsive to him, tolerant of his faults. More than all of this, she loves God. She’s impressed with his leadership and his trustworthiness. He is someone she can follow. She loves that he doesn’t put on a pose and isn’t afraid to be himself. He’s interested in others; he loves and connects with other people. He wants to build a relationship with her family and friends, not just her. He treats her with kindness and compassion and he’s patient."
I can’t even explain my feelings for this. Every. single. word. Yes.
