Do you know Minimalist?

Hello everyone !

Let me introduce myself, my name is Minimalist.(Don't worry, it's only for the blog !)

I'm sixteen years old and I’m a high school senior student, also called in France " Terminale littéraire ".

"Minimalist", why ? 

This word reflects in part what I am. I like the simple things in life.

I am someone who is content with little. 

I like this quote from the greek philosopher, Epicure : "One who doesn't know to be content with little will never be happy with anything." 

I don't like to read, by cons I have a passion for writing. I write a lot of poems and recently I started to write a novel.

I am very interested in astronomy; Stargazing is one of my favorite things to do. 

I am also very interested in art, especially in makeup. For me, a face without makeup is like a blank canvas on which we can do something very amazing, original and artistic. This is why I want to be a makeup artist for the high fashion.

  

To finish my presentation, if I could travel in time, I would go back to the Victorian era London to be in a family of aristocrats (yes, it's a little bit weird but it's something that has always made me dream).

I think that's why I love so much the series Downton Abbey. 

[Which is not set in Victorian times but Edwardian times- Mrs P.]

Downton Abbey is a British-American historical period television series. 

The series, set in the fictional Yorkshire country estate of Downton Abbey between 1912 and 1925, depicts  the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their domestic servants in the post-Edwardian era.

The great events in history have an effect on their lives and on the British social hierarchy. 

Such events depicted throughout the series include news of the sinking of the RMS Titanic, the outbreak of the First World War, the Spanish influenza pandemic, and the Marconi scandal. 

As well as the Irish War of Independence leading to the formation of the Irish Free State, the Teapot Dome scandal and the British general election of 1923, but also the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, and the Beer Hall Putsch. 

The final season introduces the rise of the working class during the interwar period and hints towards the eventual decline of the British aristocracy.

Thank you for reading my article ! See you soon on the blog.

Bye !
