Epic Blogging FAIL!

So, this blog never really worked out, did it?

Living in a foreign country was such a standout experience. Every moment in France was so vivid. It's been a little over a year since I returned to the States and I can still remember those small moments, those exciting weekend trips, and the friends I made like it was yesterday.

I love to write. Writing is how I process. But maybe this blog failed for one simple reason. In Avignon, I was too busy living, too busy experiencing, to process how my life was changing. Everything was so in-the-moment there. My emotions (both amazing and tearful) were out of control. It's only in the year since I've been home that I've begun to process the nearly four months I spent living (practically on my own!) on another continent, in another world.

I'm done making plans for this blog. I learned my lesson the first time. But I think I might still be able to turn my experiences into something useful for all of you out there. I still remember. And maybe now, as I process and learn, you might learn something, too. We'll see what happens in the coming months.

Until then,
Laura
