#toronti

it’s been too long! 

much has changed since i’ve sat down and composed one of these life update posts, so im going to get right to it.

summer has never really been my season. although i always find myself eagerly looking forwards to the summers’ sun during toronto’s heaviest snowfalls, i now find myself missing my winter coat. but its fair to say that autumn is the perfect middle ground for me. can we just have fall weather all year long? if only i lived in san fransico.

my caucasian sister jess aka jesic-capri-ce has finally settled into her new home in the heart of the annex. i’m overjoyed for her new journey, as im sure living a good ten minute drive from work is worth the extra money spent on rent. more importantly her place in about five minutes away from my church,BMV books, so how can i complain? may this change in location allow for her to become the full fledged social butterfly that she truly is. bye bye dark circles, jess is kicking you out her front door *cheers to more sleep*. with that being said, toronto be kind to my cobourg baby 

do we internalize the things that we say to one another? as life moves by fast paced, do we really think before we speak? i was speaking to camille about this the other day. i personally feel like we’ve lost the art of speaking. holding down meaningful conversations has become so sparse that you catch yourself surprised after having such an effortless 3 hour phone call. can we bring back the age of the long phone calls, the msn era, throwback to 2009?  

on a lighter note, i will be taking a trip to new york city very soon! so that is what i’m most looking forward too for the month of august. i’m super excited to recreate this one iconic photograph that my dad took upon his arrival in the city that never sleeps. he took the photograph to remember his second day in new york city, the first day of his new life. it means so much to me to be there and to actually see the places where my dad started his modern day journey. i’ll share more of that as it happens! also, if you have any suggestions of places that i absolutely must check out, shoot me a msg and let me know ! 

this year has flew before my eyes, so much has happened yet there is so little to say about it. like the majority of us hopeful individuals, i too was looking forward to some greatness and positive changes. but to my surprise i find myself in a mix of many things that were unforeseen. everything happens with good reason, and so i’m working as hard as i can. there is so much good that lies ahead. 

2018 shall be the year of surprises [good ones of course] but until then, the grind will not stop.
