S.'s cotidian somehow intertwined with that of her brother A. When we left for Paris, the three of us took the same train. It was a sunny morning and they, though sleepy, were both in good spirits. I wish I could always remember them as they were that morning: side by side, with rays of sunshine bathing their faces.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Watching their interaction, I got the sense that A. was reveling in his sister's cheerfulness and her easy but organized way of handling things. I think any man could use S.'s qualities in his life to make things seem less complicated. I sensed this from the way S. complements me by being more open than me in some ways and having a kind of imagination that I lack.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Dup\u0103 ce l-am l\u0103sat pe A. la facultate, am pornit-o \u00eenspre Ch\u00e2telet, \u00een pas de plimbare. Am rugat-o pe S. s\u0103 m\u0103 duc\u0103 \u00een parcul ei preferat. Acolo a avut inspira\u021bia s\u0103 fac\u0103 vreo trei video-uri care s\u0103 marcheze momentele noastre petrecute \u00een acel „Central Park de Paris”, cum \u00eei place ei s\u0103 spun\u0103. Pasiunea ei pentru video-uri scurte pe care ea le descrie drept o parte vie dintr-un moment trecut, precum \u0219i numele geniale pe care le d\u0103 anumitor locuri, oferindu-le astfel un farmec aparte… ei bine, acestea sunt unele lucruri pe care le ador la S.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Am vrut s\u0103 p\u0103trund pe c\u00e2t posibil \u00een cotidianul ei: cl\u0103direa \u00een care lucreaz\u0103, strada pe care trece \u00een fiecare zi \u00een drum spre munc\u0103, parcurile \u00een care se plimb\u0103 cel mai mult, locurile \u00een care iese cu prietenii – astfel de detalii care s\u0103 m\u0103 ajute s\u0103 o localizez \u00een timp \u0219i spa\u021biu atunci c\u00e2nd m\u0103 g\u00e2ndesc la ea. Din acest motiv \u0219i nu numai, e bine c\u0103 avem \u00een comun plimb\u0103rile lungi, f\u0103r\u0103 o \u021bint\u0103 anume ce te conduc \u00een mod spontan spre locuri noi. A\u0219a descoperi acel Paris ascuns turistului de r\u00e2nd. Un Paris cu pasaje \u00eenguste \u0219i galerii vintage, cu m\u0103rci subtil aruncate pe cl\u0103diri de diferite band-uri de strad\u0103 \u0219i cu cafenele \u00een care s\u0103 te ad\u0103poste\u0219ti \u00een dimine\u021bi friguroase.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
That cold Thursday morning we sat in a caf\u00e9 in Vincennes I consider a key point in our relationship. Of course, I can't remember the name of the caf\u00e9. We couldn't think of anything else other than the fact that we were so cold and all we wanted was coffee and a warm place to sit. That this in itself was the perfect opportunity to experience a typical French breakfast. After settling comfortably on the caf\u00e9's brown leather sofas and taking in the vintage atmosphere deeply, we ordered a latte, a croissant, orange juice, jam, butter, baguette and a biscuit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
As it usually happens with S., we slipped from one subject to another until we got to childhood; that part of childhood we lived separately. And I felt it completed that missing piece of the puzzle and it filled a void in my soul. I loved the moments with her: our conversations that flowed simply and naturally, the interesting and enjoyable topics we slipped into so easily, and the stories we told each other only to realize they were exactly what we needed to hear from each other.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
All of this makes me wonder in the end, how is it possible that in such different environments we have evolved so similarly? The conclusion I like to come to every time is that our genes are a perfect match. We have that special affinity that books say only exists between cousins.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
