I went to the gallery. Something I saw recently on social media, when people visit the biggest gallery here, they only do it for the Mona Lisa painting, and to take pictures with it and leave. Personally for me that is so stupid, because you have thousand more paintings explore and bigger ones which include harder work. The Mona Lisa is a small painting, there are a lot bigger paintings in that gallery. Since I have three hours until the photoshoot I decided to check all of the paintings in the gallery, I still didn't go to the Louvre, where they were the most famous paintings. I decided to check on another one. I got off the taxi and I felt too many looks at me since there were a lot of people. I did not care at all about that. I have zero interest in anything men do. I did before him, but now I can't even do that once, since I've met him. I went inside the gallery and paid in the entrance. I got a little bit chilly and I fixed my scarf more closer to my neck.
-"Oh my God? No way, Felix" a girl saw me.
-"Hii" I smiled to her. She immediately took her phone and took a picture with me.
-"Oh my god, I'm such a huge fan of you, I watch your runways they are absolutely amazing."
-"Thank you so much, that's so sweet of you." I smiled and we hugged.
-"Do you know I have a Versace show tomorrow. You should come. It's gonna be here in Paris."
-"Really?" She spoke kinda loudly in the gallery. I nodded.
-"I would definitely come! When is it gonna be?"
-"At the Louvre, around eight pm" I smiled.
-"Thank you so much. I will be there." She said with excitement and hugged me once again.
-"Thank you. See you there then. Bye" I smiled and continued my way to the gallery.
After twenty minutes of checking on the paintings, I took a couple of photos and posted them on my instagram. I went on the second floor as well and there I saw a couple of people who took pictures with me as well. I was so happy these people follow and watch what I'm passionate about. Their support kinda gives me strength.
I continued viewing the paintings and take pictures of them. Being alone definitely helps me to not be stressed. I go out with people too much. Maybe I should spend time with myself more and focus on my own life. Doing less sometimes is better. I love silence, I love peace. When I'm around people it's only so loud and you always have to speak. I am not like that. I did not like speaking too much. Silence is my comfort. I sat on the couch in front of the paintings and just enjoyed the moment. I took a couple of pictures again and posted them on my story.
After chilling for a bit, the brand I had photoshoot with, called me. They told me I have to get there earlier and I stood up.I told the uber driver the address they gave me and he started driving. How can I be in the city of love, alone. I thought as I was staring out the window, viewing the beautiful, vintage buildings. Anyways. Speaking about love, I do love myself and that still counts I think.

The people in the agency met me with warm words when I stepped in. I am glad I'm gonna be working with them, besides I do like some pieces by the brand.
I went to the "getting ready" area where I got dressed and they did my makeup and hair. While they were doing my hair I heard my phone buzzing in my bag.
-"Sorry, about that." I apologised not knowing if I'm allowed to speak.
-"It's okay to speak but, if it's not too important, you can do that after the photoshoot." The girl told me.
-"Yes, that's okay, it's not important" I smiled.
After about twenty minutes I was ready and we started to take the photoshoot.
First I was wearing a yellow set by the brand and they told me how to stand and what pose to do for the shot. For every cloth I was doing a different pose and expression. There were around ten new models by the brand and I had to wear them all for the shoots. Of course we had breaks because, each shoot was only twenty minutes. That meant I had to be there till noon. After shooting three pieces, I had a break when I could eat something. I agreed of course, because I haven't eaten anything almost all day. I asked the girl who did my makeup to come with me, there was a McDonald's right next to the agency and I asked her to go together. She accepted and we went.
-"This is my first time ever eating McDonald's in three years here in Paris."
-"Really?" She asked me. -"Where are you actually from?"
-"I'm from LA, I was eating too much fast food there, but here in Paris, all I eat are just croissants and baguettes." I laughed and she did as well. -"Where are you from?" I asked her.
-"I'm from Italy but I came here for work. I don't live here, I just travel and travel and travel."
-"Oh, so you only work in Paris?"
-"Yes, I come here too often I should buy something to stay at, when I'm here so that I don't have to travel so much."
-"That's exactly what I was gonna say, when you work here often, you should get something to stay at."
-"I am looking forward to do that" she smiled and we continued talking while we sat inside McDonalds eating cheeseburgers and fries.
