So it's been one year since I moved out here to Vancouver.. Everyone asked why I made the move so far my parents., the best way I think to describe it is from a song that I have been playing on repeat "Boston' by Augustana, since it seems to be like me and the reason why I made the change.
You don't know me, you don't even care/You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains/I think I'll start a new life/I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name/I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind..
But all in all I can say truly it has been the BEST year of my life since I moved here, when I went home in May I realized that Vancouver is truly my home.. It hasn't been the easiest year and there where times that life got to be to much and I wanted to give up and come home but then I realized it is out here that I belong, I feel at home and everyone accepts me for who I am, and not judging me on anything. That I dont have to conform to fit in, but I can be myself and thats all that matters and I'm not being left out or singled out anymore. Or being constantly asked if you have a boyfriend or who you are into. It nice to be the youngest out here instead of the oldest for once. Having someone just calling to go for coffee or climb the Grouse Grind.. It's been amazing, learning that you at some point have to cut those apron strings from your parents and go out on your own. It's not that I dont miss S'toon and my 2 bestfriends there, but I just realized that I dont belong there. I live 5 mintues from the beach and the ocean. I have sunshine and plus 20 from May-October, Looking out my windows in my house and seeing mountains all around me.. Vancouver has become my home, and I think I'm going to stay awhile.. I have found my new town and started my new life and its the best thing that I have ever done.
Saskatoon will be always apart of my life, but for now that is in the past and BC is looking like the future for at least the next 5 years!
