I moved to Paris a year ago today.
It's been good, it's been bad, a lot of ups & downs, some magical days, some crappy ones, lovely adventures, fabulous laughs with friends, old and new. I don't really understand how a year can be gone like this, I sometimes still feel like a stranger in this city, sometimes like if I had always lived here. I learned a lot about myself, about my friends, those who said they'll come and didn't, those who said nothing and popped happily behind my door.
But honestly, if I had to do everything again, I would not change a single thing.

I like your perspective in both this small piece you've written and in this lovely photograph.
ReplyDeleteChallenging ourselves (physically, emotionally, intellectually) is always a good and healthy thing.
