That Disney magic ✨ it's unreal. Yet, recently, That Disney magic ✨ it's unreal. Yet, recently, I wondered what the heck I was doing there. In Disneyland. Surrounded by people with their children, seeing their joy, experiencing it all through the eyes of their child. Celebrating their family, that they've created. Why was I there? When I wasn't having one of my own? When all Disney talks about, is family. Oh dear infertility. Then, at the night time show, it got even harder. All the words that I needed to hear while I was going through infertility treatments, I suddenly heard again, this time, I heard them differently though. It felt like empty words. I can go the distance ... Yeah, right. And I thought, what if all of this wasn't for me? What if this was it and I am done with Disneyland, since I know now, that I will not have a child of my own? I got back to the hotel and felt so sad. The grief train hit me again. This time, in a million facets, that I can't even put into words here. I got so angry with myself: Why wasn't I ever interested in adult stuff, going to hike on the Kilimandjaro, doing a Marathon, and so on. Why do I enjoy going to the Zoo so much, watching stuff that is intended for families. Aaaargh. I talked to my very dear friend and she said something, that rang so true to me: You go there, for your inner child. You light up in those moments, as a child would. That is so precious . And - she is right. It is the joy within me, that brings me there. Not anything else. I can go the distance - yes, and for whatever I want to bring to this world. I will be there, surrounded with children, because I let myself fully be in these moments. Not a care of what others say. So. I guess. This. This is where I belong. Like everywhere else, where I feel that joy. Through my own eyes. Much love to you, Bettina #disneylandparis
How could I forget my sweater, ankle boots and pum How could I forget my sweater, ankle boots and pumpkin latte?? And, wait, we do not have a pumpkin emoji??! Can this be true? Someone create one, please, this is of high importance and urgency, to all of us autumn enthusiasts. Thank you 🧡🍂🍄‍🟫 Also, sidenote: Let me introduce you to my future house and garden. It belongs to Versailles, I know, I know, buuut - one can dream, right? 🍂🧡☁️ Much autumn anticipation and excitement love to you Bettina
