So where should I live?
.
I receive so many questions about living in America, settling in LA, do I miss NY or Europe and is it finally time that I go back to live in Corsica!?
Actually each time my life changes a little I receive messages telling me “That’s it! Time to come back!!!” .
.
😂 Ok so let me try to break it down ☺️
.
I was born & grew up in Corsica. My entire family still lives there - it’s my original love and part of my identity. But it never was a question that I couldn’t stay living on an island - it had always been suffocating to me.
.
I lived in Paris and I am sorry to break a myth but I didn’t like it. It has to do with the grey weather of course, but there is a grind and coldness that I just never vibed with. That’s just me! .
When I first came to America, I was shocked by the expansive smiles and the general kindness and openness of people. It was me! I was like that!!! I could finally smile and talk to strangers as much as I could!!! It’s part of the everyday life here and something I love and absolutely never forget.
.
I stayed about seven years in New York, adored it... Until it spit me out exhausted - and a different person. Someone who knew the world was a place of infinite possibilities, which is probably one of the things I love the most about living in America. No “ c’est pas possible”.
.
I am in LA today and I’ve talked enough about why this city is good to me...
I do feel very far from my family. But I am lucky that they come often to stay with me. I go to Corsica any time I fly by Europe. I’m going there tomorrow!
.
Sometimes I miss my European culture. The old majestic cities, the proximity of so many countries, the rawness of the conversations... And in a deeper way a certain set of values. No better or worse - just different.
.
But it’s like in any relationship - you can’t have it all. I feel incredibly lucky that I have the choice of where I want to live in the world and I am not idealizing any place. I just feel like (unlike with guys uhuh!!!) I know what’s important for me and I see the positive and make do with the negative, and I try to just be myself. .
And the place where I feel the most like me, that’s my home.
