I Sometimes Wonder Who Will Share My Dreams With Me...

I sometimes wonder who will share my dreams with me...

Tuesday, 13th of August / Mardi 13 août

────୨ৎ────

Café "Debotte", in Nantes, France.

Sleep / Sommeil : 1am to 11:30am

I'm proud for sleeping before 2am, but I got out of bed late even though I was supposed to wake up at 9:30am.

I was so tired, I guess the day before had made me really tired so I couldn't help but push back my alarm clock 😭.

Health / Santé : Ate alright; not excessively,

(which I can feel proud of, because I do tend to eat too much or snack excessively when I stay at home too much , so I'm fighting against that, and lately it's been nice.)

Today I walked 6500 steps. That's an alright dose of activity (for me).

Study / Études : 20 minutes of revision only. And 20 minutes of reading my book "kilomètre zéro". (It's a French book)

Since I got up at almost 12 today and got out with friends, I had almost no time to work.

And my family always interrupts me so it's hard to study when they're around.

And when I got home after going out, I was tired and my mind could not work, so I forced myself to read two chapters of my book at least.

My day / Ma journée :

Woke up late. Did a few things. Managed to revise for 20 minutes before going out to meet some friends.

For the first time, I got to a café, and it was with 2 bff's on top of that. (It was in my summer to do list so I can cross that) (੭˃ᴗ˂)੭

And we ate some pâtisseries with coffee and hot chocolate.

I ate a "fraisier" with " du chocolat chaud à la chantilly"

The café was empty when we entered so it was just us, and we ate and talked a lot. Since it was just us, we were so comfortable, and the workers were lovely.

Our other friends are traveling so it was just us 3 from the friend group today. (Funny thing, the 2 friends I got out with today both have the same name) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Then it's already 5pm, we spent an hour talking in the cafe and one of the friend has to go.

So we escorted her and got to the "Fnac" (dunno if y'all know this store, it sells electronic devices and all types of books, it's well-known in France).

We took a tour of the store, just looking around while talking. (Friends really make life experiences a hundred times better ♡♡♡)

Then she also has to go, so I also go, I look around a bookstore that resells books. There was one I'm looking for called "Beach Read", I wanted to buy a used one for cheap but didn't find it. (I could read it in French because I live in France and the book has been translated, but I sometimes like to buy books in English so my English level doesn't decrease. And I'm glad I can buy english books in France, and they also happen to cost less than the french version, which is nice.)

Anyway, I decided to command it in a library, it should be available in less than a week.

Then, I buy some cookies for my hungry brother at home.

And on the way home, I buy myself a bubble tea and a poke bowl.

Wasn't really hungry, so that was my dinner.

When I got home I was just so tired. I wanted to sleep immediately, but it was 8pm, too early.

I preferred to wait until a more adequate sleeping time so I wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to go back to sleep for multiple hours. 😔

Anyway, I kept myself busy, read, journaled, right now it's 11:30pm and I will now sleep immediately.

My goal for tomorrow is to wake up at 9am.

(Sleep is my worst flaw right now, and it's the hardest thing for me to improve on, waking up at 9 may seem like nothing for most people, but as ridiculous as it may sound, it's a real challenge for me. And I CAN wake up early if something obligates me, like school or other social reasons. But if it's for myself, it's almost impossible.)

Anyway. I will now sleep and wish for the better.

À plus les chouchous, on se voit demain <3.

By the way, I thought about that only know, but I know right now there are lots of tourists in France because of the Olympic games, and it's even been a few weeks that I hear multiple languages when I go out, like Italian and English, which doesn't happen usually.

Nantes, the city where I live is also part of the 10 most populated cities in France, it's not far from Paris and situated in the West, so it makes sense that people also come to Nantes.

So I was just thinking about that, if some of you are in Nantes right now let me know, I could give out multiple places to visit and lots of things to do. Nantes is an incredible city, there is so much to do.

So let me know. And have an excellent time in France and its beautiful cities. <33

Do you have a problem you can tell to no one irl because you fear their judgement?

I do.

(And it kinda makes me crazy because I do need advice and emotional support

...but I'm just keeping it to myself for the moment to try and wait it out)

But truly, it IS a lonely feeling.

To be surrounded but to have no one to go to.

But sometimes,

It can also be because of your own sense of insecurity

That you don't talk to them

Or out of shamefulness

Because you know you are the source of the problem.

Normalize being kind & supportive for no reason

Serious question:

If you work in the morning, how do you manage to do that? Is it natural ? Or do you force yourself to just work?

Because unless it's because of school, I can never work in the morning, I've always worked better in the evening or at night; there's silence, I'm focused and can work without thinking of anything else.

So, how can I work/study in the morning?

(Studying at night requires that I sleep late, so I need to change that)

Ultra easy oreo tiramisu recipe:

For 6 servings, you'll need:

- 4 eggs

- 100g of sugar

- 500g of mascarpone

- 2 pack of oreos (~24 pieces each)

Take the eggs and separate the egg whites from the yolks. (Pls make sure you don't mix AT ALL the whites and the yolks, or your cream will not have the right consistency)

In one bowl, you'll need to beat the egg whites with an electric mixer while slowly adding the sugar. We're looking for a firm texture.

In another bowl, you'll need to mix the yolks with the mascarpone. You should not mix excessively, just enough for the ingredients to be well blended together.

Then, you'll slowly incorporate the mascarpone mixture to the other with a spatula.

Then, once they're well blended, the cream is ready.

For the oreos, just crush them small, do that however you want, (I personally put them in a zip bag and crush them with a rolling pin)

For the final step, you can either make the tiramisu in dessert glasses as in the picture, or you can make it in one big recipient:

If you make them in glasses; put oreos at the bottom, then cream, then oreos, cream, and oreos again to cover the top. (It will be 2 layers of each and then an oreo coverage.)

Then, let it rest for a few hours (or overnight according to how much patience you have), just so the cream consolidates.

And that's it, bon appétit

What I love about this recipe is how delicious it is, my family loves this tiramisu and same for my friends, they always tell me it's super delicious so I recommend you also try it.

(I always make double the recipe because of my large family, and also because we eat 2 portions, one is definitely not enough, you can't stop at one. It's way too good)

Anyway, have a great day <3
