I spent a number of weeks staying in the outskirts of the city for work in 1992 and my favorite spot was the boardwalk near the Chateau - such a beautiful spot! Thanks for the memories!

Lovely post, Bryn! I’m about to return to the town I went to college in in October and I also always have that same weird feeling of dissonance. Glad to be back but like 10 ghosts of me are following me around. I love the title! A song by Zaz immediately stated playing in my head where she’s belting out laisse-moi! I’ll listen to that today as I work

Reading this particular paragrahp made me smile. :).:

'This is the benefit of being yourself with someone else; the circles can overlap in beautiful violet. You can more easily shed any coats of shoulds and musts that you’ve donned without thinking. You can dig into a city, scoop out as much marrow as possible, slurp it back, and wipe your chin of stray drops without being self-conscious. Now that I’m back, I’m thinking of ways to infuse those flavours of freedom and joie de vivre into my everyday life, so I don’t need to wait years and kilometres to rebalance.'
