This American young lady living in Paris has now turned into this American young lady living in, well, America.
Fifteen days back I touched base in the colossal state where I grew-up, Montana. From that point forward I have been in the place where I grew up (populace: 4027… er, now 28) re-changing, re-adjusting and restoring from opposite society stun following 19 months in France. Maybe other than a little town on the Tibetan Plateau, I don't think I could have picked a place more dissimilar to Paris to re-wet these American feet.
So here I am in the nation I am pleased to be from and the nation that I call home. So why wouldn't i be able to quit supposing and longing for Paris?
Perhaps in light of the fact that I think I have a place there.
In Paris I told individuals that I would be glad to kick the bucket there. Conceded that is not the most cheery of presentations from this sunny identity (I would dependably introduce my announcement with, "What I am going to say may sound strange… "), however it was intended to demonstrate my actual satisfaction and solace in The City of Light.
Falling head over heels in love for a city is much like becoming hopelessly enamored with a man; your faculties wake up, fervor elevates and you find new bits of yourself. Potential outcomes are unending. Furthermore like with a loved sweetheart, over the long run sentiments fortify, you get to be more yourself in their vicinity… even a superior form of yourself, and it all simply feels right. In Paris, it simply felt right.
So what do I miss?
Her lanes…
Her dialect…
Her tastefulness…
Her magnificence…
Her complexity…
Her coquettishness (or was it mine?)…
Her immortality…
Her cooking…
Her kin…
My kin…
Her richness…
Her wine…
Her symbol…
I additionally miss the easily overlooked details that made the city feel like it was mine; the patisserie shop specialist that would wave and grin to me every time I passed (likewise cautioning me when the citron cheesecake was in!), my stroll to the American Church in Paris every Sunday evening, going to my most loved hole du vin to choose a wine for supper at a companion's home, settling in at 17:45 to watch my most loved t.v. show, Un Diner Presque Parfait, smoothly exploring cobble stone avenues in heels, and… a certain corner of a love seat on Rue Budé (*wink*).
While I am without a doubt cheerful to be home reconnecting with all my radiant family and companions here, Paris
