I hate the prairies today
I miss home. I miss trees, and rain, and thunderstorms. I miss “my people”; friends who get me at a different level then what seems capable here. I hate the flatness here, the dryness, the lack of greenery. No one told me that moving here was like time travelling backward and living in an old western film. Fellow ontario-ans be fore-warned: the fall does not look the same everywhere. I...

Follow your heart.

Pep Talk: Your decisions usually turn out to be right and this one will be no different. You haven’t made any fatal errors so far and I’d call that a pretty good track record. Trust your judgment. Save yourself all the hemming and hawing and just do whatever you want. You’re going to anyway. Today remind yourself: Follow your heart.

choices. chances.
wildfiresurf:
My girlfriends are all changing. Ones growing a baby. Ones getting married. And ones making a big cross country move.

And man, am I lucky.
Awwww! We heart you too Fie,...
