It is with a heavy heart that I write this. Following the
attacks last night it is hard for any Parisian to carry on as normal today. I look
out of my window at Notre Dame and I see less than a quarter of the normal
thoroughfare that goes through there every day. I would like to thank all of
the people that reached out to my friends and I last night – some of you I speak
to everyday, others I haven’t seen it years. It is testament to human
resilience that so many of you cared so much to ask if we were ok.
I have never been scared like I was last night. Running away
from Les Halles shopping centre because we heard someone shout there was
shooting inside is a memory that will never leave me. But I had a family friend
point out to me that we should not let this taint our views on such a wonderful
city. From the #porteouvertes last night to all of my friends rallying round to
make sure each and every one of us was accounted for proves that in spite of it
all we won’t let it affect us.
Don’t let the bastards grind you down.
