Le Raison D'Être

If only I spoke French. I can't. Sure I took it for 5 years and completed 4 years of coursework but understanding something, anything takes a lot more study than that. I was never fluent and I often translated things literally (ok that came out backwards. I also often struggle to communicate in English!). I never understood the full cultural context of everything, much less that I was acting as a part of it. I still feel the same way and not just about the French. I don't know what I'm doing here and I have no clue why you are visiting but if you're reading this know that I cannot know how my writing will affect you but this is the closest thing I have to improving the world. If it works out and I save your life or something that's great! If not, well . . .

C'est la vie.
