Ok so 3 years ago I was listening to this playlist and I feel like I want to share with you how I met my boyfriend thought this. ( I wrote this on my journal on my computer and wanted to share it please don't judge) It was three in the morning, and I couldn't sleep. It was impossible. I was thinking about my future, overthinking as usual. I tapped my feet against the wall, my back on the bed, dressed only in my underwear and bra. I watched the clock tick and the flowers on the table in my hotel suite. Alone in Paris, completely isolated from the world, I thought I'd enjoy it, but in reality, I was bored to death at night. I remember getting up and opening the window to a view of the Eiffel Tower. Oh, the sight! That's when I put on a playlist on my phone. From the balcony, in just my underwear, I looked out at the lively, beautiful city. It felt like I had grown accustomed to it. I came for a week-long internship at an art school here, so I settled into the most beautiful hotel in Paris. A few days ago, I was scouted to be a model. I'm 21, but I didn't think I'd accept, so I didn't. I'm a brunette with green eyes, often complimented on my looks. My mom sometimes criticizes me because I like to wear mismatched outfits for fun. I went through a punk phase and even shaved my head once. Anyway, it was three in the morning, me in my underwear, my brown hair blowing in the wind. Suddenly, I saw a boy in the distance, sitting alone in a bar, smoking and drinking. Out of the blue, he got up and sat by a fountain, illuminated by the city lights. He stared into the void, unaware of me watching him. He was so beautiful, the most handsome man to me. My friends say I have terrible taste in men, but I love the artistic, rough-around-the-edges look. Messy hair, unshaven, speaks poorly, but deep down, he's an artist. Feeling a rush of heat and boredom, I decided to go down, wearing only a long black coat and carrying a small bag. I snuck down the hotel stairs like a thief. Some of the staff gave me strange looks and asked if I needed anything, but I didn't respond. After half-running, I saw him in front of me, sitting by the fountain. There was no one else around. I walked more slowly and decided to sit on a nearby bench. I remember forgetting to bring a book, feeling silly sitting there with nothing to do at three in the morning. He was scribbling something on a blank piece of paper, smoking a cigarette. He wore glasses, I remember, and his hair was partly curly.The Eiffel Tower behind the fountain was illuminated, looking magnificent. I stood up, but he didn’t have time to notice me. I grabbed a newspaper I found in a nearby trash can by a tree. With no one in sight, I took it. I didn’t want people to think I was crazy-though, to be fair, who reads a newspaper at three in the morning outside? Anyway, I sat back down, pretending to read the paper. Paris was illuminated by the lanterns behind me, and I stole glances at the man in front of me. He looked about 29-30 years old. At one point, he looked at me, and I was so scared! I hid behind my newspaper. Then, I got so stressed that I stopped looking at him altogether. When I finally lifted my head, he was gone. I looked to my side, and there he was, sitting next to me on the bench. I was so surprised-he was incredibly handsome. He showed me his drawing without saying a word. It was a sketch of a girl on a balcony in her underwear. Oops. Oh no, he saw me. He drew me. How embarrassing! He might have thought I was watching him, which, okay, I was. I complimented him; it was an amazing drawing. He took off his glasses, and oh, I fell in love. I turned bright red.We exchanged a few words. He told me he found it amusing that I was reading a newspaper on a bench in the middle of the night. I laughed and said that some people do, people who live for the night and love Paris as much as I do. He smiled at me, and we both hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say next. Then, the conversation flowed naturally. We talked about everything-movies, our families, our interests, our hobbies, even our favorite pasta. I remember we talked for about three hours. The sun was beginning to rise; it must have been around 6 or 7 AM in Paris. I told him I had to return to my hotel because the next day was my last day in Paris for my internship. He asked if we could see each other again tomorrow, and I agreed.
I love the playlist! But as someone who spoke French all my life it's not really lifestyle and more of culture, just say you like the music lol. Also if you put any other non white culture in place of French it would be insensitive and bad taste to have a title like that. It's just my opinion as a French Canadian don't take it super seriously but it's something to consider.
Also non French people wanting to move/visit France (mostly Paris) are going to have the worst culture shock it's hilarious, like there's literally a 'shit in the Seine' day lol
Ayo actual french girls!? Did any of yall notice that half of these songs are being played with the wrong name???? Like one song played with the name Zhou bisou, and I went mad😂😂😂
To everyone who's studying with this music: Checklist: • A bottle of water, at least 1liter. Your brain works better if it has enough water and drinking helps you to concentrate • Your charger. You sometimes don't even notice that your device's battery is going down, so better have it plugged in all the time • Your headphones. You will be able to focus more with headphones, because it blocks background noises. Also, if it's a late night study session, you won't wake up anyone • a tea or coffee. Coffee keeps you awake, green or black tea can make you feel more awake as well. • Your study/work stuff: your laptop/tablet/phone , a few pens, paper or whatever you need. •Anything else you could need, what about a heat pad, a blanket, a good lamp, your pet so you have a study buddy Reminder: After an hour, you should stand up and walk a bit around. Better stop the music or put on different music for the break. Open your window, even if it's cold outside. Fresh air will make it better, trust me. You could also lay your head down on your desk for ten minutes and listen to a podcast. Or, if you have to read a book, listen to the audiobook of it. You can also listen to the audiobook while doing another thing, that's even better than listening to music while reading the book.
Thank you for this, good to work by. Who is the photo by? I might like to do a watercolor from it (I lived in France for about 2 yrs) but I would need permission.
