"I Love You"

A poem I wrote for all my friends

The most beautiful kind of love
Is the one that comes from friendship
Because friends will always be there for you
No matter what;
Meanwhile 'lover', as we call them
Can at any moment leave you behind
With a broken heart and an empty soul
But your friends are the ones
Who are going to pick up the pieces
And make you feel whole again.
You usually take their love for granted
But you can’t imagine your life without them.
They are there for the best and the worst moments of your life
And when you shut them out
They will be knocking on your door until you let them back in;
They never give up on you
That’s when you realize
That they are going to do everything in their power to make you smile
And make you forget the pain you felt.
We should be calling them our ‘lovers’
Because their love is the real love that matters
It is the real love that lasts till the end of your days
So I think that our friends deserve all of our love
And we should never forget to tell them
That we love them.
This love is the most important thing in our life
So I want to say to all of my friends:

“I Love You”

Why you should watch BBC's 'Call the Midwife'

Jennifer Kirby, Leonie Elliott, Helen George, Charlotte Ritchie - Credit: BBC/Neal Street Productions/Nicky Johnston I first started watching 'Call the Midwife' for study reasons. My research thesis for my MA at Sorbonne-Nouvelle was on Women's work in the 1940-50s in Britain and I found out about this show which covered perfectly what I was looking for. What I didn't know is that I would fell madly in love with it - and will still watch it years later.  'Call the Midwife' is BBC period drama series following a group of midwives working in East London, Poplar, in the 1950-60s. It was created by Heidi Thomas and is originally based on the memoirs of Jennifer Worth, a nurse working with the Community of St. John the Divine at their convent in the East End. As we follow the nurses caring for their community, we learn about the social and economic issues of the time that they are facing as well as the personal struggles of these families and the midwiv...

When Nothing Makes Sense Anymore

 Trigger Warning: Death, Suicide So today (5th of November) marks the 9th anniversary of my uncle's death... I never wrote about it before so it's very personal...  The first time I was confronted with death, I was thirteen years old. Until then, I had considered myself lucky. I had spent thirteen years of my existence not losing anyone, and especially, not worrying or even thinking about losing someone I cared about. My grandparents were healthy, my parents were fine, my siblings and I were thriving. No one in my family had ever been seriously ill or had been in an accident. I thought we were invincible. I naively believed that it was always going to be that way; but, for a time, it was a nice feeling to hold onto. It didn’t last long, however. My first experience with death was a brutal one. It happened violently and unexpectedly. It took me by surprise and, from one day to the other, everything changed.
