Rien de rien

Learning the song "non, je ne regrette rien"...we all need to perform something en français at our AF graduation.

Hmm. Nice choice of song, chère amie. Perhaps at the same time trying to convince yourself of the same? But what seems to be the problem this fine cloudy morning?

Non, rien de rien. Just a tiny change of plan. Nothing that demands any warrant. But i wonder why does life swerve just when you are carefree and unaware?

But you knew that it would, just the way it did, did you not, my hopeful friend?

Bien sûr, i did anticipate this last minute change, with my usual foresight. But i can be disappointed nevertheless, can't i? Why do some have it easier than the others? Things are always happening for them the way it is supposed to. Why was my first hand nothing but superbly unfair? I could have been a simple happy housewife, I could have been that. I think i would have been a great one too! Mais c’est payé, balayé, oublié...here i am instead, living a life i carved out of many a struggles and challenges... albeit a life many envy, and why not, j’ai allumé le feu, it's a life with accolades, independence and adventures. But did i ask for this?

A life full of questions and not many answers...aujourd'hui je commence avec toi.

Starting over... je repars à zéro...on a ground unfair, a battle unarmed. Mais je me fous de la malchance! I can rise above these petty questions life poses or unfair turns it takes. Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait, ni le mal, tout ça m'est bien égal!

Bonne chance donc, tu auras besoin de ça!
