Ernest Hemingway once wrote:
"I would stand and look out over the roofs of Paris and think, 'Do not worry. You have always written before and you will write now. All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.'"
This is the truest sentence I can write:
I thought that France might change me and make me suddenly know exactly what I wanted to do with my life and instead it has only further confused everything I thought I knew and wanted - and yet still, even in spite of all that, I have never felt more free or optimistic in my life.
That is my truth.
