Status Updates From A Certain Smile

“I was carried away by something that might have been joy. I walked fast, chafing under my own impatience and the heat of the blood that pulsed through my veins, and feeling quite ridiculously young.

In such a moment of wild happiness I felt that I had grasped a truth much more significant than all the miserable truisms to which I clung when I was sad.”

“When one is young and on the threshold of life’s long deception, rashness is all. Why not continue to let myself be led? There would be Luc’s charm, the boredom of everyday life, the long evenings… Everything would follow its natural course; it was no use trying to figure out exactly how it would go.”
