Brand New Spaces
August 21, 2009
Tomorrow I jet off on my adventure to the West Coast – a kind of consolation prize for missing out on my summer plans to live carefree in Victoria at my cousin’s house, work in a coffee shop and frolic on beaches. I’m happy to report that even though Victoria began as a complete escape from everything that was going on, it graduated to exciting adventure and has now settled into the role of a super chill vacation. This is a good thing.
Apparently, somewhere between the stress of school and the bumps in the road I seem to have gotten over my resentment of Calgary – I can finally see it for what it is and enjoy what it has to offer. I forgot how nice it is to just be home.
Even though things here are comfortable and stable and good, it’s probably time to get out of here and explore something new. I’m looking forward to adventuring, even if it is just for a week. Maybe next summer will be the year I go somewhere new where I don’t know anyone and figure out how to go it alone…
For now, I’m just scrambling to pack and say goodbye to the fams and my favourite cool kids before I run off.
