Three days ago, as I was riding my bike to my flat, I got hit by a car, flew into the air and ended up on the road. My bike is now pretty much ruined and yet, I am fine. I certainly do have a couple of huge and ugly bruises and a bump of my head, but, still nothing serious.

This made me realise how fragile life is. It happened for a reason. I was feeling sad because someone who I thought was special in my life let me down. I should have realised earlier that what that person did wasn’t right, but I kept fooling myself.
The accident, as I now call it, was in the end a happy one. However, it got me extremely tired and sore, wanting to fly back home to be comforted by the people who truly love me.

I didn’t, but three things really cheered me up today.

1. I was sitting in the bus when I saw flashing lights a hundred of metres ahead. A cyclist had been hit by a car, and it was far more serious than my accident.
The bus driver called the station saying the traffic was stuck on that street. Ten seconds after, I could hear a loud radio message: ‘ligne 2, on ne passe plus par la rue Ozenne’.
So far, things were pretty normal. But what made me smile, is when I heard every ligne 2 bus driver shouting ‘reçu, je suis au grand rond’, ‘ok, je suis a esquirol, je passe par St Michel’… through the same radio that just announced the traffic jam.
Random, I know, but it really made my day.

2. Love that picture.

3. My new cosy batgirl sweatshirt. Simply adore it. I’m actually wearing it right now to keep me warm (not screaming your name at night anymore)
