Too curious and way too sensitive .

First text :

First time I wrote in my first diarie I was 8 , I was talking about how the boys on my class stole my snack at lunch time ..

Last time I wrote was yesterday .. I wrote about my fear of futur ..

Did you ever looked at your life and ask at yourself

"How on earth did I end up here ?! "

It's been almost a years since a came back from US ( story later ) and I'm even more lost than I was before I left ..

What to do with me life ?

Everybody ask me this question

" What are you good at ? "

How am I suppose to answer to that ?

- I good at laughing , partying with my friend and I'm EXCELLENT at doing nothing in bed ..

But sorry I'm not sure that a job ...

I'm at this age or half of my friend are to drank to answer at my text and the other half a pregnant and getting married .. And I'm like ..

" What I going to eat next ?! "

Speaking of food !!!

I love Easter .. Who doesn't ?! Chocolat everywhere , family réunion , godmother , godfather that you won't see again before your birthday or even next year ..

You take 3pounds even if yesterday you promise to yourself - Today I start a REAL diet-

" Belgian in the blood , Americain in the heart "

At 6 I left for the first time and I went every years since ,

At 14 I screw up a year at school because sitting behind a desk all day wasn't for me so I ask for going with my dad 1 year in Thaïland .

I learn the Thailand culutre and I start the sport who was going to change my life .. Thai Boxing . I did two fight and life evryday in a Nak-Muay skin .

This year teach me about myself and others , I learn that you don't need house , money , material for being happy , that respect was the most important feeling in the world and that a smile doesn't cost much but it can bring a lot !

But the most amazing place that I had the chance of visiting was the USA , after my senior year I decide to leave 1 year by myself to discover this mysterious country that everybody talks about .

I had no money and I defenetly didn't want go back to school so I became a aupair , so i was going to take care of children in a family for 200$/week , but I had somwhere to sleep , eat and shower , and I had vacation for visting with friend . In one word ? => PERFECT !!

So I start all the paper work for leaving on Septembre 2013 .

After quite some looking , I find what it feel like the perfect host family for me :

Day 3 :

But before I could joing them in Atlanta , I had to follow a intership with all the aupair who came on the same day than me , lucky for all of us this intership was in ...

New-Yoooork !!!

It was my first "contact" with english language .. It's was SO hard to follow everything to teacher was saying , but I manage to past the test ..

We learn what to say , how to react , how to act with kids , emergencies and host parent .

It was 3 INTENSE days , but in the same time we had the chance to visit a little bit of " The Big Apple " ..

That's me with the " Liberty lady " .. Yes , I know it don't seems like her

but I swear it is !!!

I lived in Atlanta almost 6 month , I lived with these incredible baby boys that I loved and love with all my heart !

I had some issues with the parents so I decided that it would be better for every one if I tried to find a new host family .

Even if I was so sad to leave I still had these amazing memories :

Partying with my friend !

Having a WONDERFUL trip to Florida !!!

Eatin my first Ben&Jerry's EVER !!!

..... But definitly not my last xD !!!

And of course ..

Spending priceless moment with the kids <3 !!

Day 4 :

Sorry , that been almost a week since a wrote :/

A was in TUNISIA with my family and the wifi is awfull :O

My mom don't have so much money lately so we leave in a " cheap" place , but there were , sun , sea and food as much as we wanted so I was kind of in paradise ...

I never went in Tunisia before so it's a new country to put on my bucket list ( visit a least one every single country of this magnificent earth ) !

Don't be mad , here some picture of the week ;D

I went running !!!

For some of you it's not extraordinary , but for me it's a real improvment in my lifestyle and my head ..

When I was in the US I took 30 pounds / 15kg !

The food was SO diiferent and I missed my family so badly that I ate like a giant ..

When I came back home I started to lose weight but , I never went back to sport like a use to , after a while I stop lossing wait .. And a spirale begun ...

I was a really good athlete before my trip , I was boxing , Thaï Boxing , I was training 4 time / week , running for a hour every other day and eating really healthy .

Since I'm back , I make promises to myself " going to the gym again , eating healthier " and everytime I start but it never last .

So wake up and go running every morning on this vacation week , make me feel like I can be my old me again , or .. more like the new me with my old good habit .

But hey , I'm still enjoying life xD <3

Day 5 :

Today , I did my first crossfit ever xD

Sven , my boyfriend ( tell you about it later ) "force" me to try with him xD

That wasn't So bad .. I just died like 5 times in 5 minutes xD !!

I love this treasure for supporting me and pushing me in every bad , hard and deplaisant situation that I been trought ..

I'm really lucky , because without him I'm not sure that I would be here , writing to you all .

Sometime you just need one person for raising up when in your lower side .

So may I introduce you the best part of my heart :

I met this little guy 5 years ago now , we first talk on

the 21th Septembre 2010 and had our first date on

the 26 .. This date never ended ..

He made me laught so hard that I couldn't smile for a week after that .

Everyday I'm felling so lucky because everyday I'm falling in love once again .

He is not only a great man or lover or even friend . He is a great person .. His dream is to defend our beautiful country with his life . So in two weeks he'll pass all the test for getting into the Belgium Army . I couldn't be more proud .

I'm scarded of let him commit and let him go but he support me when I told him that one of my dream was to go to the United-State so I am supporting him in his dream too .. Because who want somebody with unrealized dream ?

After goodbye who break my heart I flyed to Califorina *_* !!

I did find another great ( except the mom ) family who was ready to take me with them ..

After taking care of two baby boys , I was going to watch for two big girl !!

I was in a complet stress situation , because I have brother .. ok is way older now but I mean I know how boys work .. Girls ?! .. Not so much xD !!

But what is life without a little challenge every once in a while :O

So here I am , walking to the door and find :

Incredible

HAPPINESS

Thes two little monsters trun my world ( and feelings ) upside down so many time that I wasn't sure what side what left or right anymore .

They made every single trick , said every single lie and did every single sh*t that a kind can do , they tested me for a entire month , refusing every word I said , going against my rules and screaming to death each time I was saying no .

But they were the best part of every single day I was spending there , they were kind , loving , cudly and fun !

We used to Watch the World Cup all three of us , supporting each time the oppsite team .

We cooked , tried and invented dishes ( not all eatable xD )

Their mom didn't love me tho , I was too openmind for her , I got tattoo , percing , I was listenning all kind of music and having talk about life with the girls .

So 2 weeks before my vacation and the end of my year she send me back home with no other explanation than " We are too different " ..

I hated that women ( and even I over it now , I think I still do ) for what she did to me and the girls , because none of us was aware before she told me that I had a hour for packing and leaving .

The girl was crying in their room and I couldn't say goodby proprely .

I went home to family so happy to see them but damage and incomplete for my trip .

Thank god I had Wonderful Friend !

But this isn't a sad story ! I may had some issue with my both hostmom , I met the most incredible friend !

Comming from everywhere and living the same adventure .. We were connected since the first moment we've met . No one can understand what hell is it to be a aupair , except another aupair xD

Thanks to them I have the best memories you could possibly ask for :

With these group of people that I had the chance to : -Skydive

- Get a Tattoo

- Visit Hawaï

- Celebrate the fourth of July for 72h in a row

- Pretend to be a Standford student

- Laugh so many time that you can count

I think you should always follow your heart and especially your guts , if they tells you to go , it's because it's worth it !

You become a better , more entiere person if you follow your dream and let your heart choose and speak for you .

I'm 20 years old and unlike the most poeple , I can look at my little piece of life and tell myself :

" yeah Meg' you did good "

Even when I was at my worst I get up and fight , I follow what I wanted and I'm still holding on my next project , next adventure ..

Even if it's just getting a job , starting new study , It's always a wonderful , new and exciting new beginning :D

Win or lose , the key is to never failed ..

And the only way the failed is not to fight ..

So you fight until you can't fight anymore .

Good night dreamers .

Today was a cooking day :D

After a really healthy week : Running every morning and crossfit with Sven , I re-start good cooking , for my and my family ..

I learned a lot of healthy recipes in USA when I was cooking for " my kids " but when I came back I never made them or tried for my family , I ate a lot of junk and It's was getting worst every day .
