Nouveau Pari

Personal Blog about the "normal" life of a writer, future designer and a beginner artist. Look into the life of someone who wants to be normal in a world where everyone wants to be unique, kind in a situtation that everyone looks away from and happy in a life that people often frown upon. Find me, my old self and my new life here.

We may walk away from each other on the street but inside these pages, in between these words, our love has bled. Outside, it may have died, but among those pages, every memory has lived, it has breathed and it has cried. We may have separated but in the heart of some book, there has been a happily ever after.

smh i still can’t believe darcy didn’t realise jane only seemed “"indifferent”“ bc she was shy when he was such an antisocial tower of awkwardness that lizzie straight up thought he hated her until he proposed

Height

As an 18-year-old girl who is barely 5', I'm often told to grow taller and exercise more. I'm told that if I don't grow taller, people won't take me seriously or I won't find a husband or that no one will like me. They tell me that they're saying this for "my own good" but what good have they, themselves ever done?

Judge me all you want but I'm done. I'm tired of hating on myself for being short, for not being tall enough. I don't hate my growth or the lack of it, whatever you call it. I like who I am, I like my image. I don't WANT to fit someone else's standard of perfection and I most definitely don't want to push my self-esteem down because of someone's words. I'm fine just the way I am. I haven't settled for my height, I've embraced it.

I don't hate on taller people and I wouldn't hate myself if I was even slightly shorter or taller. There's nothing wrong with being tall or as society calls it, too tall.

All I want to do is love myself and who I am right now. I want to be able to love myself in the future, even if I grow taller or shorter, regardless of my height then. I hope those who point at me and laugh will learn to do the same. I've chosen to love the person I am, I hope you will too.

A little in white,

A little in black,

But important all the same.

What will it take for people to stop taking me for granted?

[nouveaupari]

Me: *does something*

People: Oh! Look at that cute girl over there doing something! Let us never take her seriously.

Me: *does nothing*

People: Why is she not doing anything? We shouldn't take her seriously.

Brandi Carlile - The Joke

You're feeling nervous, aren't you, boy?

With your quiet voice and impeccable style

Don't ever let them steal your joy

And your gentle ways, to keep 'em from running wild

They can kick dirt in your face

Dress you down, and tell you that your place

Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine

I see you tugging on your shirt

Trying to hide inside of it and hide how much it hurts

Let 'em live while they can

Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind

I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends

And the joke's on them

You get discouraged, don't you, girl?

It's your brother's world for a while longer

We gotta dance with the devil on a river

To beat the stream

Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder

They come to kick dirt in your face

To call you weak and then displace you

After carrying your baby on your back across the desert

I saw your eyes behind your hair

And you're looking tired, but you don't look scared

Let 'em live while they can

Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind

I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends

And the joke's on them

Let 'em live while they can

Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind

I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends

And the joke's on them

A knock on the door of Inspiration

I was down to eat my lunch and stuff my face with food in the living room when I switched on the television and thank God I did!

While watching the Grammy's for a few fifteen-twenty minutes, I was inspired by the voice of Brandi Carlile as she sang The Joke, a piece of music that struck my heart. Brilliant and with immeasurable talent, she sang her heart out in lyrics that went right past all my walls and shook my heart.

"I've been to the movies, I've seen how it ends. And the Joke's on them..." Her voice broke open the skies, shattered every cloud and made it rain feelings. She sang and our hearts cried.

Late to the party as I may be but I feel grateful to have found her music, her voice. It is as if inspiration has knocked on my door and I had the opportunity to hold it open.

Here's what inspired me. What inspires you?

Song of the day: Photograph by Ed Sheeran

Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes~

[poems-and-word]

“It’s funny. I still feel like a little girl . I’m still looking around to check and see what other people are doing to make sure I’m not completely different; I’m still looking around for help, hoping for a quick nudge and a whisper of advice. But I can’t seem to be able to catch anybody’s eye. Nobody else around me seems to be looking around and wondering what to do. Why is it that I feel like I’m the only person who is confused and concerned about the choices I’ve made and where I’m headed?”
