funky.kinky.chic: April 2016

To follow up on the massage I posted on my facebook page (Funky.Kinky.Chic) recently :

"TO MY SINGLE LADIES: I want to encourage you to celebrate your lives. I have made up my mind a long time ago to just live my life. To enjoy this gift of life even as a single lady. When i was younger I told myself I was not going for holidays to certain places I wanted to do those holidays with a special men in my life. As I grew up I realised, I have a life. One life. Don't sit and wait for a men before you can do certain things in life. Let him find you living the life. Let him find you happy. If you are not happy alone, then how do you expect him to make you happy. Do things for yourself . Celebrate every season. I am celebrating my life now, NOT tomorrow."

Paris is one of those Cities I told myself for years I wasn't going to Visit until I have met my Boaz. They don't call it a romantic city city for nothing. I thought to myself, how could I visit places like Pont des Art bridge in Paris (The Love Lock Bridge), unless I was in love. Then I suddenly woke up and realised, I had to change my mindset, I have one life. The time is now, tomorrow is not in my hands. So the fun life began.

A love lock or love padlock is a padlock which sweethearts lock to a bridge , fence,gate or similar public fixture to symbolize their love. Typically the sweethearts names or initials are inscribed on the padlock, its its key thrown away into the sea to symbolise unbreakable love.

When my friends and I visited Paris last year, we went to see this beautiful bridge, and I saw all this padlocks with couples,s names as a symbol of love for each other, I like the idea, ( don't judge). We went back to the hotel. The following day as we were deciding where to go for the day, I said to them I need to but a padlock and go back to the Lovelock Bridge. We went around locking to buy this padlock, it was such a challenge as so many shops were closed. It was a Sunday, and I was shocked that shops didn't open on Sundays in Paris, but at the same time I was so impressed. Hopefully the go to worship.

Anyway, there was a corner shop opened somewhere, i got the nearest padlock i found, would have loved to get a nice colourful one on a normal day. At this point my friends are asking me.,' Is there something you are not telling us?? Who is this guy? And i am there like, girls lets just go, you will soon find out.

So its at this bridge that I once again declared my love.
