Right to disappear

A beloved friends visits NY after 2 years we used to live there...she quoted sth very beautiful about NY...it's the city that offers the right to disappear...
so true so real so necessary....
Thank you F.

Never say never....

8 years ago I moved to New Orleans, the Big Ease to study...
I was a 22 year old girl in a unique city.
I have to say I was not the biggest fan of NOLA...I left the city and said that's it....I'll never go back there...
5 years later, end of August, Katrina hit New Orleans...I was in New York and for first time I felt like going back, walk around uptown, take the street car, go to Preservation Hall, have a coffee at Cafe du Monde...
Today, the Big Ease has to be evacuated once more and my mind is there, in the deep south of USA, I promiced to myself I'll never visist again...
My thoughts are with friends, a newly born baby and the ghosts of a city I wanna visit again.....

Beginning of Thirties....

After more than 4 months I'm back.
Within those months, I faced a health problem, I realized that I' m damn lucky cause I have a wonderful partner and a crazy family, I cried a lot, I smiled more, travelled a lot, met new people, rediscovered friends and decided to face my fears....
