Everybody has one. That one special person that they shared something unique with. Something fiery, something insane, something passionate, something ...love.
That's the one person you can never turn back from. You come into each other's lives at an unexpected time. You connect on a level that surprises you. And when you fall ...you fall so hard.
Then come the moments where the fire between you two becomes all-consuming.
When they look at me, they see a well-dressed and confident young girl, but they don’t see the insecurity and anxiety I feel about my being.
When they look at me, they see a fit and awake body, but they don’t see my sleepy and tired mind.
When they look at me, they see eyes full of focused ambition, but they don’t see the ocean of tears behind it, where inspiration and light-hearted dreams drowned.
When they look at me, they see a friendly smile, but they don’t see the scars it tries to hide.
When they talk to me, they hear a gentle voice, but they don’t hear the screams of my heart.
When they are with me, they notice a helpful soul, but they don’t see that I crave encouragement and comfort as well.
When they look at me, they see a sociable character, but they don’t see that I’m alone and feeling lonely.
When they look at me, they see someone loving people around her, but they don’t see that I hate myself.
When they look at me, they see a person spreading light, but they don’t see the darkness I’m falling into.
When they look at me, they see a woman who has it all figured out, but they don’t see that I don’t understand myself.
What do they see, when they look at me?
Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world, and that nobody loves them now and that nobody will ever love them.
“Do you ever just get that feeling where you don’t want to talk to anybody? you don’t want to smile, and you don’t want to fake being happy.
I had heard a lot about this man and this week I met him personally: Michel Fages.
He is a magician, well actually more of a master in diversionary tactics: while talking to people he steals away their watches, ties, belts even glasses without them noticing! It’s hilarious to see and I guess extremely confusing if you are his victim (thank god he didn’t trick on me, at least I still have all my things ;-) ). It’s really scary, this man good be a superb pickpocket, but thank god he decided to be a showman instead. He’s a very nice and charismatic person, well-known in his home country France and all over the world. His show was awarded to be one of the seven best shows in the world in 2011.
You just have to see him performing, see for yourself and enjoy:
(P.S. the videos are in french, but don’t worry it doesn’t matter at all)
