I wrote this mini story and i know it doesn't rlly relate to this playlist i though you might want to read anyways :) It's Friday night. You've had such a long week working your 9 to 5 interning position, serving extra hours to the point where your brain can't function to its full capability. You can't take any partying, despite your roommates insisting tone, you decide it would be much more full-filling to spend the evening in the cosy walls of the jazz bar, just down the road from your housing block. You're just getting used to city life here in Paris, it still feels so surreal to be here though, the enormous opportunity just handed to you, just like that, and then suddenly your interning at one of the highest end fashion enterprises. You check your watch and it reads 6:12pm, you gaze out into the city and can't help but admire all its beauties. You think of how lucky you are to be here. You don't even regret leaving your home country behind. You're just so content and happy here, you wouldn't dream of booking a return ticket back. All your troubles just sink away into a quiet abyss, and your eyes drift over to the band, the beautiful jazz playing soft and improvised, so that it completely fills you with calm. You take a few moments to just appreciate the gorgeous plucking of the cello, twiddling of the grand piano, soft tapping of the maraca and symbols, and absorb all this peaceful energy floating all around you. The window is slightly ajar, so you feel the soft May breeze sift gently though your hair, smelling amazing smells coming from the Bakery in the building next to you. That reminds you of the delicious pastries over by the bar; croisants, pan au raisin, éclairs, macaroons, crepes, madeleines and cannelés. Your body instantly fills with delight and you call over the kind waiter, stood over by the register. He comes over eagerly, and you say to him how your desperately craving for a warm crepe, with sugar and lemon drizzled over the top, sprinkled with fresh blueberries. Oh, and a nice, hot latte with cinnamon! He nods and grins, walking happily back to the bar to place the order. You turn your head back to the window. Just then, you realise you couldn't be any happier. You feel as free as the wind, anything could happen, you can do anything you please. The world truly is your oyster! For anyone reading this, just know you are loved, even though you might not know it, there is someone out there who would give anything to be around you 24/7. In times like this, we miss our family, our friends, we just want everything to go back to normal. I beg of you, just call them! Or text them, email them, write them a card, skype them, arange a family zoom call why not! It will truly make their day. Right now more than ever we need to make people feel they are loved. Happy 2021 everyone. It's nearly February, meaning 11 more months until 2022, 334 days until christmas :) Look forward to spring and summer where the days are long and sunny, or snowy and rainy, wherever you are in the world! The world IS your oyster. Take each day as it comes. And just remember... You Can Do ANYTHING! :) Love Maisie :)
