French meet-up @labaguettemagique 📷 : my lil’ French girl
🇫🇷 Si vous allez à Philadelphie, allez vous poser chez @oxcoffee. L’espace est petit et il n’y a pas de wifi mais la baie vitrée offre une belle vue sur la rue et, surtout, le cappuccino d’Isabel @theisabelsoto est à tomber (le meilleur auquel j’ai goûté en 39 ans d’existence, rien que ça). • • • 🇺🇸 I thought I’d had my fair share of great cappuccinos until I walked into @oxcoffee yesterday and ordered one from Isabel @theisabelsoto yesterday. It was so good I almost swore (in French, of course.) The coffee shop is tiny and there’s no wifi but the vibe is cozy and the coffee is phenomenal (the croissant isn’t shabby either.) It was great to see you Isabel, what an honor to have witnessed your growth since the @philtercoffee days. I am sure Chris is proud!
🇫🇷 Dans la famille “mes lectrices ont du talent”, je demande Pauline @paulinedek70 ☺️ J’adore la composition de sa photo, pas vous ? Et cette lumière 😍 • • • 🇺🇸 My readers are so talented — look at this beautiful photo Pauline @paulinedek70 took of my book 😍 Merci Pauline !
🇫🇷 Dans un autre registre, je serai au @ksqfarmersmarket demain vendredi 12 oct. de 15 à 19h avec des fèves de cacao et plein de chocolat 🍫🍫🍫 Ma manière de vous remercier pour votre bienveillance suite au post d’hier ✨ • 🇺🇸 In other news, I’m pumped to be part of the @ksqfarmersmarket annual fermentation festival tomorrow, Friday, Oct. 14 from 3-7 🍫🍫🍫 I’ll have roasted cocoa beans, @acallichocolate and @castronovochocolate for sampling and purchase. I hope to see you then and thank you in person for your kind words on yesterday’s post ✨
I read so many heartfelt posts on this #worldmentalhealthday — 🙏🏼@aprilheatherart and @fleurishing — that I felt the need to contribute. So, deep breath, here’s my story. • • In 2000, I fell into a deep depression after an emotional shock. Over the course of a summer, I stopped feeling ALL emotions. Joy, love, sadness, anger — all became foreign to me. I also lost my appetite, the ability to plan, memorize, and felt into cycles of oversleeping. 12 hr nights became the norm, which made attending class a challenge. • • I knew something was wrong but had no idea what to do about it. I’d go to bed hoping the next day would be better, but each new day brought me deeper into darkness. I remember the constant flow of thoughts, the dark scenarios on repeat. I wanted to be better but how? One day, I called @sergem for help. He came to my house in full panic, cooked an apple omelet, and did the best he could to make me laugh. • • • The next day, I saw a doctor, who decided my problem was boredom with my life. What an ass. I kept telling him I stopped relating with humans, but he shrugged and. prescribed shots of magnesium. I got hot flashes but not much else. • • • A couple of months later, my mom made me see another doctor who eventually prescribed antidepressants. In a couple of weeks, I started feeling better. The fog lifted slowly and it took 8 months for me to get most of my life back and 2 years to fully recover. It was a very difficult time, especially since so few people knew what I was going through. • • It’s hard to explain the dark side to those who haven’t been there. To say that no, watching a comedy or reading a book won’t make you feel better, just like drinking a cold drink won’t break a fever. • • • Depression sucks. It hurts. I remember those dark years and if you’re going trough this, know that there’s help out there. It may take a few knocks on doors but one will eventually open. The rest of your life awaits on the other side.
Please and thank you #latergramfromsummer 🌿🌸🌼
