The Café Table
W:

How would you describe this chapter of your life, and what do you think that its teaching you?

I'm French as well. I’m 25 now, haha, whoa. I am in a weird chapter now, because I was living in New York for one year, and I moved back to France to follow my working passion, which is drawing comic books.
... I cannot making a living here in the U.S. because it is really hard to earn money with that, so that's the first reason why I moved back to France, and the second one is that I have my boyfriend there. And so I had to make a very rational decision about my future.

I was loving my life here in the U.S. and New York. I have so many friends, and I was also discovering a lot of things about myself. What I like, the persons I want to be around with, what makes me happy, what I really need to find joy in little things in life.
Its when I found that, I had move back. So, its been difficult. Its been six months now. I am just coming back for the summer for two months, and I found myself so happy again, so, I am starting to ask a lot of questions about myself.

The thing is, I love to find new paths. It has always been like that. So the idea of taking a decision means to give up other paths, but also giving up on the possibility of having new paths. I am okay to give up some paths, but giving up the idea of discovering others that I havent thought about is something I still am trying to figure out.
