Big thankyou, you sparked a huge ah ha, from a slightly differently angle. Very liberating. I wondered what my 4yr old inner child made of my own Dad dying, as I read your piece. It must really have pissed me off too, but back then I wouldn't have had the words to say so. Perhaps that's where my own writing suddenly splutters to an unexplained full stop: my pen 🖊 probably touches a vulnerability in that tot, that wants to come up out of hiding, but isn't sure how to put it across.
I'm so glad it sparked an aha in you, the whole inner child thing is definitely an interesting subject. I wonder if this will send you on a path of exploration to help that inner tot come out of hiding. I hope so ❤️
I've done lots of therapy, but it's something in the way you put it across, that's given me the icing on my croissant!! In Hertfordshire, no where near as exciting as Paris and certainly not baked with that French 'je necsais quoi'
Not many people can say they had "5 Guys" for Valentines 🤣😝
Ok I have a "guilty pleasure" to confess 😅 I get really excited reading the food you've eaten on your travels... I blame it on the fact I don't smoke or drink (well maybe once or twice a year with a friend out of peer pressure) and I'm not crazy sociable so I have a very romantic relationship with food, so on hearing about your Velvety Hot Chocolate and Salty 🥐 i feel rather envious yet eager to have one too 😍
I definitely can't commit to a man, that's not out of promiscuity it's because I've never ever had a man in my life... All girls school, all female family (Dad was literally a man up the road who paid for myself and my sister once a week) my longest relationship was 6 months and my son was from a one night stand (I know, I'm a wrecked woman 🫣) who I couldn't wait to leave because I wanted to go downstairs and eat the left overs from my dinner earlier 🤣 (see, food again!) So I get that "inner child" theory, because I never had a man around I don't really want or need one 🍟
...That or you can't miss what you never had, maybe that will change one day!
Your comment was such an interesting read - and I snorted with laughter at five guys ! 🤣 I do get annoyed at the way we're pressurised to couple up. I've had so much fun being single and I love the freedom. I think it's great that you don't feel at all needy for a man because it means you won't settle for anyone who doesn't light you up ( or bring you food 😄) I can't wait till you get to go to Paris and taste the croissants and hot chocolate. They're truly orgasmic! ❤️

That's why I trave and write l when I can, too.

I'd give anything to know how the French make their croissants so delicious - I think it's the butter...🤔 So happy to have iced your croissant! 🥰

You absolutely will find love again, in the most unlikely of places and when you least expect it xx
And that is what I love about love - that unexpected magic 🪄✨❤️
