À Paris

On August 15th, 2021, the author spends a sunny hour in the Jardin des Plantes, surrounded by trees. They have matched on a French dating app and have been messaging each other since. The author, who has only recently arrived in Paris, encounters a man named Silhouette, who is open-minded, six foot one, and fit. He offers to meet the author for a drink in the 6th, but the author is hesitant due to the French's obsession with privacy.

The author's dating app bio, which says, New Yorker, 46, à Paris pour un mois, does not mention her experience of being alone in a small apartment for fourteen months. The author reflects on her feelings and the fact that she has been alone in Paris for fourteen months. The author contemplates whether to leave the 6th and meet with Silhouette, but the park in Jardin des Plantes is filled with fortysomething Parisians, secure in their lives and attractiveness. The author reflects on the lack of tourists in the city, and the French, who are now the only ones to see them.

The author is excited to be seen in Paris, despite not being regarded or touched for over a year. They are reminded of a time when their body and brain were disconnected, and their body is here for pleasure. They decide to go, not wanting to be judged by French men on dating apps. They also learn about Paris syndrome, a condition coined by Japanese psychiatrist Hiroaki Ota in the eighties, which is experienced by visitors from eastern Asia, particularly women in their thirties, who arrive in Paris and are disappointed to discover it does not live up to its reputation. The author believes that depending on external factors to fundamentally transform one is a fool's errand, and they want to see things differently. They close their messages with Silhouette, knowing they will soon know what's behind the blank outline. They take a slow Sunday afternoon walk across empty Paris, stretching and taking a selfie in the golden light.

The Only Thing to Do Is Go

In May 2021, New York begins to feel possible again as the cold pandemic winter dissipates into a promising spring. Vaccines have staggered onto the scene, and the new roaring twenties are soon to be upon us. The author has been alone for over a year, living alone in their apartment building that emptied out quickly during March 2020. They learn from Cedric, the exterminator, to keep their toilet lid shut to prevent rats from coming through the pipes.

The author's next-door neighbor, hoarder, and doorman all stay in the building, and they hear yells at their cats. Life is slowly returning, with more lights on buildings at night and diners at outside tables. The city is slowly returning, and there is a distinct sense of people reemerging.

Running with this energy, the author sends an email to the man who owns the apartment in Paris, hoping it might be available. He responds with dates for August 1 to September 8, and the author agrees. Plans seem to belong to another timeline, and years of bumper stickers and Instagram accounts encouraging us to live in the now have not prepared anyone to actually exist in a present where the future is shifting like cursed quicksand in a fairy tale.
