After a major break up, I deeply believed that if I didn’t transform myself into a more likable woman, there would be no more happiness in my life. So I started to dispose of everything that defined the old “me”-things I did, said, and even believed, and in particular the way I interacted with men. I chose to “de-self” myself in order to please potential romantic partners.

It was recently pointed out to us on Twitter by a not-so-subtle tweeter that “if you need a website to defend the degree it probably isn't worth it.” Of course, this person was *probably* referring to DearEnglishMajor.com, and they also shared some other blunt insight that we won’t go into here.

For Macro Mondays: "Opposites"

I have been a photographer for more than four decades. The camera helps me pay attention and be surprised. Yogi Berra said it better than I can: "You can observe a lot by just watching."

Communicating with one another has never been easier than it is today. We can call, text, video chat, send messages through social media and even share our location with trusted friends and family members. But despite all of the technology we have at our fingertips, our devices still make plenty of euros– I mean, errors.

Readers, are you sitting down? Because I'm about to drop a major bombshell . . . I am single again. (You're welcome, straight men.) I know what you're thinking. I see you shaking your heads in disbelief. How is this possible, you ask yourselves.…

I could go one of two ways with this entry, I could continue on my whimsical tour guide Barbie posts, or I could talk about what it was like to turn 30 on top of the Eiffel Tower surrounded by lights. The short answer is that it was an emotional day for me, partly hormonal, but absolutely impacted by the feeling of actually being between dream and reality. I had always dreamed of Paris, of being there, of belonging there. I did not expect the instantaneous accord that I felt with the place, even though I had always suspected. I knew, from the first day that we were there, that I had always meant to be there. And that if I could do things over, that I may not have waited for that perfect, exhilirating moment, watching the full moon over Montmartre and the proposals all around me. Part of me wanted to be alone, and part of me wanted something more. Something else. I cried all the way through my birthday lunch, not sobbing or making a scene, but just tears continuing to fall even though I was trying hard not to. I woke on the morning of my 30th birthday, to find that for the first time, I had slept in. After breakfast at home, we made the short walk to the Musee d'Orsay, where I had saved my favourite art gallery especially, wanting to see Renoir and the Impressionists and Courbet's Origine du Monde. I had, in my usual, irrepressible anticipatory way built it up to be something extra special for my birthday. I had known, even though I had hoped otherwise, that Bingley had not planned anything, nor marked the day especially, and I wanted something that I would recall with beautiful clarity about turning 30. So you can perhaps imagine how deflated I felt, as we stood in line, to read the signs advising reduced entry because of renovations for the Impressionist exhibit. It completely winded me, in a way that was disproportionate to reality, because the museum still held beautiful artworks and sculptures that I got to see, including an unanticipated display of Pre-Raphaelite works by some of my favourite artists of all time. But I felt miserable. I had wanted to see Renoir, knowing that it would likely be years before I got to come back if at all. Even original Millais paintings could not quite bring me out of my funk. Bingley is a wonderful man, and I love him dearly, but birthdays are not things he does well. He often buys me expensive or beautiful things (you will see evidence of that later), but I am not someone who finds value in dollar amounts so much as thought. He did not see the tragedy in my having missed the one thing I had really planned for myself for my birthday, and talked instead about how I was in Paris, and wasn't that the best gift of all? I know he meant well, but I was upset as well because yes, I was in Paris, because I planned it. I booked the trip, I researched every part of it. I worked damned hard to save up every dollar that went into the trip. So when, in the middle of the street he asked where we were going next, and then became irritable when I asked him where we were going I burst into tears. I just had hoped, irrationally, that he was holding out, that just once he had planned something, some little thought somewhere other than "just going along with what you want". But no. So after lunch, and a while in our apartment to calm down and stop crying and fix my make up, I went with my back up plan, that I'd hoped I wouldn't have to use. We walked to the Musee Rodin, to see the mansion where Rodin's studio had been, and the gardens that held his most famous bronze works. I was far more subdued on this day, the morning having dulled my usual exuberance. As we queued in the sunshine, I listened to the many languages babbling around me, and retreated into my own private bubble, waiting to be admitted to the mansion. I am not sure what I expected, or if I had expected anything, but the museum was lovely. Cluttered and slightly haphazard and yet elegant and beautiful. Sensuous sculptures in glittering marble, busts of famous artists and personnages, sketches and details. My favourite room of all was one that showcased Rodin's affinity and obsession with hands. Understanding this passion, I was mesmerised by the light coming in from the full windows as it fell on the fingers - intertwined or barely touching. Feeling my heart squeeze at the sculpture of lovers hands - the smooth planes of masculinity and feminity in perfect marble. The light was falling between the two and it seemed to glow. As if the resonance of the feeling between the two was so strong that it could create light itself. I wandered later, through the sculpture gallery outside in a kind of half daze, my mind stuck on the beauty of marble and the way that a single man could capture something so wonderful within its depths. I was brought out of my deep introspection only by the stunning display of scented Rodin pink roses that lined the gardens and courtyards. Finding myself under the brooding thinker, as he surveyed hell below him. Afterwards we quietly wandered back to our apartment, and I felt full, satiated. We ate at our little table and chairs, and I collated my bits and pieces, carefully stowing ticket stubs and metro tickets to keep because I'm built that way. I had also planned, for later that evening for us to take a lift to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and had pre-booked tickets. They were later than I"d hoped, and later than we'd previously really stayed up since we'd arrived in Paris, so I was worried that we would be too tired to appreciate them fully. It was very cold when we left the apartment to catch the train to the tower, and I shivered as I bought chocolate from a vending machine as a birthday dessert. However from the second we surfaced from the underground station, we were completely enveloped in the carnival atmosphere surrounding the tower. There were vendors hustling their jingling souvenirs, but never pushy. There were crowds of people, young and old, excited and animated as they stood under the magnificent lighting that showed off the tower to her best advantage yet. We were standing directly under her, when it struck the hour, and the racing lights effervescing up and down were truly spectacular. Yes, it was the most touristy thing that we'd done since we'd arrived, but it was possibly also my favourite. There was music, joyful noise, and just a pervasive sense of gladness. Everyone thrilled to be there, a carnival of joy. I snapped photos from all angles, trying to capture just how amazing it looked and how I felt. All of my self indulgent and selfish sadness evaporated as I instead lined up in our express queue and gazed up at the top. It was squishy and crowded, and full of romance in amongst the simple elegance of riveted steel. It took at least an hour of queuing in the freezing cold to get to the very top, but every second was worth it. Not just for the view, though that was incredible. Nor the overpriced champagne that fizzed and popped in my glass in perfect synchronicity with the effervescent lights. Nor the full moon, rising above Montmartre and bathing the city with heavenly light. It was something more than that, something so perfect that transcended anything that I can write about and translated simply into my eyes smiling, properly, until the irises were almost pure gold.
