LIFE IN PARIS, part 2: only ONE MONTH LEFT

Posted: 05/20/19 | may 20th, 2019

It feels like only days back I concerned Paris — as well as now it’s the middle of May.

And, with a lot more time behind me than ahead of me (I leave June 19), as I look back on my time here, I can’t state I’ve seen as much of Paris as I intended.

I haven’t checked out one new attraction. Or taken someday trip out of the city. Or gone to one more region of the country. Or even the outlying communities of the city, really. Nothing.

I have taken five walking excursions (so I did something).

But that’s it.

That’s the degree of my explorations of Paris.

But, as I mull that over, I recognize I don’t truly care about that stat.

Because I’ve done what I concerned Paris to do: produce a peaceful life.

My time right here so far has been characterized a lot more by writing, sleeping, and, overall, just normally “chilling.”

I’ve made a few buddies — and, thanks to stated new friends, exponentially boosted the number of preferred restaurants as well as bars on my Google map. (So, I guess, if I have done a great deal of anything, it’s eating as well as drinking.)

Every place, every moment has a lesson in it. Every location is best for specific times in your life. Thailand was the location I requirement to check out my independent self. new York City was what I needed when I transitioned from nomad to non-nomad. They were the best bridges to a new phase of life.

Paris is my bridge to a quieter life.

But, a lot more than that, Paris has taught me something about myself I didn’t completely recognize up until now:

I’m the most inspired when I feel I have restricted time.

I concerned Paris guns blazing, with a grand vision that I’d have all this time around to explore. I was going to do so much.

But three-hour lunches take up a great deal of your day. So does work. So does dinner with friends. So do a plethora of gos to from other friends.

When you online somewhere (instead of just visiting), there’s always tomorrow. When I feel like there’s a tomorrow, I’m less inclined to leave my comfort zone. I work, read, sleep, as well as eat.

So I always put whatever off. I wished to work anyways. I was in no rush.

But eventually, you run out of tomorrows.

Suddenly, you get up as well as months have passed as well as you marvel at exactly how swiftly time went by.

Now, the clock is ticking down quickly as well as I’m prepared to kick things into high gear.

With only about six weeks in Europe left (and only half of them in Paris), I’ve begun to book a lot more walking tours, museum visits, as well as cooking classes, plus trips to Bordeaux as well as Normandy. (Booking all this in development guarantees I won’t discover a work reason to avoid it!)

Looking back, I don’t believe I’d modification a thing, though. I needed some R&R. Not only from travel however from life. I needed time to get my head ideal again. To wind down projects, relax, as well as get some motivation back. I needed to take a step back as well as hit the reset button.

I’m heading to Normandy next week. After that, I’m off to Italy. then it’s my birthday.

Then it’s home.

For now, at least.

After that, who knows?

If Paris reminded me of anything, it’s that I requirement to stop planning as well as accept that when I do make plans, I’m likely to just do the opposite.

I just requirement to see where the day takes me.
