From the Tree Farm

Everything here is the same. Why did we both have to change?

When someone isn’t who you thought they were, and you end up being stronger than you thought you ever could be. That’s when you realize you can move on. 

All of a sudden the future is uncertain, but it’s a beautiful thing. 

I’ll be moving to Toronto with two of my best friends this spring. That’s all I know. That’s all I probably need to know.

I’m re-energized and ready to focus on the present. But most of all, I’m open to the new. 

Here we go again.

Yeah, girl power.

Probably how Kristen Allison and I will act on our Toronto road trip to Ryerson this fall. Totes grad school material. I mean, look at that unwavering class.

Leaving the tourist lifestyle behind. For now. 

Home in one week. As soon as I get back to the tree farm, it might just feel like I’ve been in a bizarre dreamscape for the past four months. 

How odd time travel is.
