1. oasis HD featured France in the episode I watched yesterday
2. Today's paper featered Mykonos and Santorini in their travel section
3. I came accross a very trendy version of a travel guide to France while I was at the mall
4. My coworker and I had an intense conversation about his 6 month trip to Europe.
5. My newly found blogger (someone I found on fb and tumblr) had a mother load of posts and pictures of Western Europe.
The more I see these photos and hear other peoples' stories, the more my mind runs through my own memories of our short trip to Europe. I haven't traveled much at all but it's hard to describe my feelings for Europe, more specifically France. I didn't get to travel throughout France very much but whenever my mind snaps back to us walking through Paris my heart pitter patters and smiles dreamlily at my thoughts. I've been wanting to go through my photos but I avoid doing so because it almost hurts to look at it. I miss every second of it and have been longing to go back for a while now.
Ok let's describe it this way..It almost feels like Paris was an amazing, hot and heavy, but short fling I had back in 2009. Star crossed lovers brought to eachother by fate. Then suddenly, we were torn apart and I never heard from him again. All I have now are my memories and photos to remember our time together. I hear of other peoples' flings with him and then pangs of jealousy, longing, happiness and sadness all simoultaneously mix into my chest.
This sounds so emotional, but I kid you not, this is truly what I feel when I see and hear other peoples' stories of Paris. I've always wanted to travel to other places, but these emotions are so intense that I feel like I'd rather just go back to France rather than travel to other parts of the world I've never been to. Traveling everywhere used to be my dream, but France is where I want to be.
He's calling my name.. *sigh
