i don’t think i ever really allowed myself to think about it
because my head might have exploded with the enormity of it all
but it’s so nice to finally be here, in this place,
after the packing and the moving and the good byes et tout le tra la la
to sit with it
and even now, i still don’t fully grasp what is ahead
part of me feels like i’m going on an extended vacation
like i’ll be back before i know it
it’s the most bizarre feeling
a calm kind of intensity
if that makes any sense?
the flight boards in 15 minutes
the sun is slowly setting behind dark clouds on this longest day of the year
everyone is going somewhere
who knows what waits for us on the other side
first i board, then i sleep, then i wake in paris, then i meet a friend for lunch, then i take a train to london and there my love waits
and beyond that… is anyone’s guess.
thank you all for everything. i couldn’t have done this without you. xo
