Congratulations on your one-year Substack anniversary! As to my poll answer -- answer 1 -- I really enjoy your unique take on living in France and Europe. But the personal information puts it in context. Keep up the fantastic work! A la deuxième année!

Reading comments like this makes me feel the most proud, so thank you too! I write so often just to get all of these swirling thoughts onto "paper" and it baffles me (in the best way) when I realize that people are enjoying it. Thank you for taking the time to read my words and to say nice things about them!
