The day before my boyfriend of 8 years moved out, I bought a round trip ticket to Paris for 21 days. I have always wanted to visit Paris. Two months later, I’m here. Spending three weeks in Paris was an abstract idea until a few hours ago. I have no idea what I’m looking for. I’m skeptical at this point that this was the place to come look for it. The Secret Book of Destiny says that I have, in me, a predisposition for a monastic type of existence. Seeing as I’ve never been anywhere alone (much less for three weeks), I’m counting on my latent monk-like qualities kicking in.
