Today was a very clear and fresh day. It actually felt like a summer day-blue sky, warm sun and the scent of flowers.
I sat in front of the Sacre-Coeur and I had such a magnificent view onto the city. Paris is definitely one of the coolest cities in the world. With its nice architecture and its diversity of people it just has flair and elegance. I should probably get an apartment here in the future. I can definitely see myself work here for couple of years.
There was also a person playing the harp at the Sacre-Coeur who added some romantic touch to the atmosphere with his music. Listening to his music, I sunk into my thoughts, imagining myself sitting in front of the Sacre-Coeur with only my sketch book and some pencils or with my laptop continuing my story. He inspired me a lot. Paris inspires me a lot.
Sitting there in front of the Sacre-Coeur, having that wonderful look onto Paris, I finally started to realize that I was really in Paris. It felt undescribable. It felt like freedom, like happiness, it felt like as if everything was possible, easy and reachable. I felt the sun warming up my face and how it was able to melt down the ice and coldness I had still inside of me from Germany. I felt like embracing the whole world, jumping around like a kid, smiling from one ear to the other one. I just felt soooooooooooooooooo relieved from everything- it felt as if life was beginning to continue again.
I am really looking forward to spending my time here in Paris, I am pretty sure that it is going to be one of the best times in my life.
