Visual Aids for the Geographically Impaired
NO IGLOOS. NO SNOW IN SUMMER (IT ONLY HAPPENED A FEW TIMES). NO ISOLATION (AT LEAST NOT WHERE WE ARE). THIS IS YUKON (SPARTA).
MMM, BEAUTEOUS!
AND YES, US VEGETARIANS WILL PREVAIL.

Change is Constant
16 days to go.
The school year has officially come to an end for me - which means I am a little closer to leaving Toronto and embarking on an adventure in Whitehorse, Yukon! I'm not sure that I am expecting anything groundbreaking, mindblowing or any other noun-verb to describe a state of being I am not particularly familiar with - truth is I'm not really expecting anything at all. Expectations ruin everything... they kill creativity and feed off of our fears of the unknown, turning our human brains into writers writing stories that should not be written. I am criminal to this. I envision situations that don't exist yet and in doing this I have come to the realization that nothing will ever be like the vision I had in my head previous. It can be a blessing or a curse - the realities I face are either enormous let downs or beautiful surprises. The reason why I have chosen not to expect anything is because of the simple truth that my expectations almost always let me down.
I do have a few thoughts, though, but none concerning the road ahead for the road ahead is not yet paved for me. My only thoughts include thoughts of change and adjustment and whether or not I am the mover and shaker I've always known myself as... or if my moving and shaking is only enjoyable when done inside of my comfort zone. I thrive on change, I always have - but this change is not the petty kind you give to the poor when your conscience gets the best of you. This change is big.
When it comes down to it, I truly believe I am a mover and shaker. Despite how I feel about this change it is going to happen and it is more exciting than anything. It's exciting not knowing what I'm about to embark on, and in an odd sense, it is extremely comforting not knowing much at all. Perhaps the most comforting part about this whole situation is probably the fact that I am jumping into this with a person I am eternally grateful to have in my life who I can, with no doubt, grow and change and experience with - without second guessing anything we do together.
PS: My parents will miss me tons, but they'll understand :)
