Reading this after having the same experience wow, before lock down I actually moved to New Zealand we had no Covid and it was so exciting but then I had to come back, my visa running out and my uni waiting for me, however I moved back to France - stuck in my parents attic waiting to go back to London or maybe waiting/hibernating in the attic until…idk…until something? Whatever you do! You’ll be great and you’re writing really hit home 💕 take care !!

I moved out of my home country alone when I was 15 because I just didn’t vibe with it and craved a different kind of life, then after 10 years in this country, well I got tired of it too and at 25 I ended up in… well, Paris ! Your post was particularly enjoyable for me because I’ve always dreamed of living in London. Since my childhood in my home country, I grew up obsessing over everything British. I’ve visited several times and done solo trips all over England (yes, even the very north and the very middle) to live my childhood dream, but I never managed to actually find a way to live there, and now I’ve somehow ended up in Paris. Reading this gave me nostalgic homesickness for a place that’s not even my home 🥺 Would be lovely to connect with you before you leave Paris ! :)

This one resonated with me a lot. The end about how we will always look for 'elsewhere' as a distraction>>> I hope you find you're 'elsewhere' everytime you need it.
