[@liminalum]

omg what a great video! i love all of ur vids, they all exude such beautiful youthful and carefree energy and they remind me of the importance of smaller things in life! also, i am a BIGG fan of the french culture and especially paris, so much so that my main life goal is to move there when i finish undergrad. im so excited abt that but i am afraid of how unapologetically french paris is if that makes sense. i mean, thats wonderful because it means that the people living there are passionate about their culture and heritage, however, that makes france and especially paris a lot less accessible to foreigners as opposed to other western european cities like berlin and vienna for example. i fear that i will have a hard time there as a non french native speaker. i have four more years of undergrad before i get there, so that theoretically leaves plenty of time for perfecting french and learning as much as i can about the french culture and its history, but im scared that i will still have a hard time once i get there. french is such a difficult language and i dont know how much of it i can learn in 4 years. idk, i have a lot of worries regarding that, but i dont see myself realistically living anywhere else so that fact alone makes me hopeful for the future. i havent got the opportunity to travel there either, so im also scared that paris wont end up being as amazing as i think it is. so many people say that paris is filthy and overhyped while others are saying that its the perfect city and i dont know who to believe. i hope i wont make a mistake for moving there!

[@dostojevski5588]

hi, I was living as a foreigner in paris since two years so I can answer some things. don't worry about the language because you can get by on simple phrases or even in english at first until you start to pick up more french. in my experience parisians are very nice about foreigners speaking french, but maybe its different if you don't look european. you mention berlin and vienna as being more open but I know these cities will and I find them about the same; paris has a huge cultural mixture. however paris is *very* expensive, the metro is usually crowded and has delays, there is a lot of bureaucracy, and the streets are very dirty in reality, everywhere is usually crowded with tourists and at night there is many people living on the street. if you have a emotional connection to the city these things will not be a burden for you but what she shows in the video is very surface level. in the end paris is just another big city and depending what you do and where you are you can get a very different experience. i think if it is your dream to come here and you love the french culture you will have a good time. personally i'm not fond of paris, but i also don't have an attachment to the city or culture to buffer my annoyance with the many peculiarities of life there.

[@dad102]

Thank you for sharing. When I read Moveable Feast I could see how Hemingway felt about living there. I mean, it is pretty much the title of his book. Which you could easily rewrite > How Paris is Like a Moveable Feast It says a lot about how he felt about living there. Never been myself. Not even to Europe. But a lover once told me, "You're very European." Not sure, exactly, what she meant, except I could see she meant it as compliment. Vibing nicely with the energy you are exuding here. I am diggin' it. Puts me in a nice place. A nice space. You are such the free spirit. That's what you need, you know, if you want to write. Many forces combine try to crush that sense of free spiritedness out of the human soul. So mere fact that you even exist where you are, and doing what you do, this in itself is impressive. Love the quotes you selected. Powerful effect. and i especially liked the title.

[@adellmorth6517]

if you don't already know about them, you should def try out : • the 'galignani' library ( it's my favorite one in paris, its very very pretty and they have such an interesting palette/choice of books ) • smith&son ( i only like their magazine and kids corner, the rest is very meh to me, I strongly advice against trying anything at their café bc its expensively disappointing ) i love your love for Paris and if you need someone to help you with learning French, id love to ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ♡

i too love paris though im a bit disappointed that this isnt really the actual paris experience for most people part of the charm of the city isnt just in its romanticized aspect but also the mundane. the metro, the crowds, the commute, the small apartments, the working class neighborhoods. thats Paris, as much as the monuments and the haussman architecture and the fancy vintage places

[@JN_Collins]

and for anyone who aspires to live there after watching this video: whats shown here is only a tiny fraction of what the paris life is, and likely not the one you can afford. living in paris can be great but its very expensive + not everything is nice and pretty but thats part of loving a city, you get to live with the bad to appreciate the good in it

The universe science says was not always there, it had a beginning point, the big bang, meaning it was begun/initiated in other words created, thus there should be a creator, there must be a God. Also, check this out, if you like, this is from Artificial intelligence, chat Gpt: Prophecies in Major World Religious Books Referring to Prophet Mohammed: 1. The Bible - Deuteronomy 18:18-19, John 14:16, John 16:7-14, Isaiah 42:1-13 2. The Hindu Scriptures - Bhavishya Purana, Atharvaveda Book 20 Hymn 127-129 3. The Buddhist Scriptures - Cakkavatti-Sihanada Sutta, Anguttara Nikaya III:61, Digha Nikaya III:76-77 4. The Zoroastrian Scriptures - Zand-i Vohuman Yasht, Farvardin Yasht, Dadestan-i Denig & Regarding the verses in the Quran asking to protect non-believers or polytheists, there are several that emphasize the importance of treating all people with respect and kindness, regardless of their religious beliefs. One such verse is found in Surah Al-Mumtahanah (60:8), which states: "Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly." Also In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful (If any of the polytheists seek protection from you, grant him protection) بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم(إن استجارك أحد من المشركين فأجره) Another verse in Surah Al-Anfal (8:61) encourages Muslims to make peace with their enemies, even if they are non-believers or polytheists: "And if they incline to peace, then incline to it also and rely upon Allah. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Knowing." & Regarding the verses in the Quran asking for justice and kindness, there are many such verses throughout the holy book. One example is found in Surah An-Nahl (16:90), which states: "Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct and giving to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded." & In terms of prophecies about Prophet Mohammed in major world religions, there are a few examples that some scholars have pointed to. One such example is found in the Bible's Book of Deuteronomy (18:18), which states: "I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him." Some Muslims interpret this verse as a prophecy about Prophet Mohammed. Because the Arabs are the brethren's of Israelites, The Arabs are descendants from Ishmael or Ismail the brother of Isaac the father of Israelites, and because the verse didn't say from amongst them or from their descendants, it said from their brethren's. Similarly, some scholars point to a passage in the Bhavishya Purana, an ancient Hindu text, as a prophecy about Prophet Mohammed. The passage describes a "holy man" who will come from Arabia and spread a new religion, and some argue that this refers to Mohammed and the spread of Islam.. Also search scientific miracles in the quran, harun yahya its nice, One God for all of us he created us all and can revive us again, God initiated everything, & he repeat/redo things too, & thats clear, we see many cycles of different things in life, also in summer for example the desert land becomes like empty and is filled with only sand, and when rain falls in abundance in spring or winter, after that small flowers & wild plants grow again, also, we see how humans and animals grow and how their body is formed from the elements which were in the sand which plants feed on which they eat, and after they die they go to the sand and their atoms/elements are taken by plants which humans & animals eat and their bodies grow from those atoms & elements found in the sand which came from previous humans & animals which died before, so God can bring us again after we die even if our atoms became in the sand he can make us from the same atoms we were made of or from other atoms if he want or make us be in a spirit form or like ghosts, any ways, everything in this life is recycled, learn if you want about the different cycles in life in nature, the food cycle or food chain, the water cycle, even the gas cycle that makes the air the oxygen &carbon dioxide &nitrogen cycles, even the energy is like recycled but only changes from form to another form. Anyways,, God created this life but it's only a temporary sample/an example of a coming everlasting one which could be either in heaven paradise or in hell. If we try to be good humans in life, and try to obey God and his messengers-including the final messenger for all humanity the prophet Mohammed- and those whom rightly represent them, for example imam Ali & ahlulbayt the family/good descendants of the prophet mohammed, then we will all go to heaven/paradise, if not then we will go to hell fire and burn in it forever. keep shining sunshine &spread the light
