re: #33 ryannon

No, but after three years of travel and the gradual unwinding of my young and clueless American core, my instincts of self-preservation were pointing me in that direction. I’d spent a little time in Paris before setting out, and it had always both perplexed me and (sometimes) just tied me in knots. I figured (dimly) that a place with so much powerful ju-ju - and I had been in some incredible places around the world before orbiting back to Paris - was something I needed to master if I was ever going to get myself together again…

I was right - but I had no idea of how hard it would be (essentially fighting myself every inch of the way) or the price I would have to pay (the ‘death’ of the person who I had been).

Sounds like you’re just about ready for Rome. Talk about juju!
