The last few days of Toronto life are coming to a close. With a new adventure on the horizon I look up and out of the apartment I called home for a year with my partner. We have been looking for a break, and I have been waiting for an opportunity to shine, my sunshine. And so departing separate ways is becoming more of a reality that I have chosen and it is rollercoaster emotional. I think as I get older it is harder to leave the ones you love as a greater sense of relationships and bonds washes over me. Then snap, jump, and launch into the next quantum leap ahead over and above and beyond the borders of Canada.
I carry my sorrow with my great happiness in one giant sac over my shoulder as I traverse this new path. My family and friends will be missed. My friends are my family too, after all they are pretty amazing people that I share my memories, dreams and laughter with. I see no reason to ever cast doubt on knowing they will all be in support of me and that they will be fine. My family is family! They are quirky and loving like me, and we understand each other even if I keep changing things up. I am clearly thinking about everyone, and I plan on tucking you all away in the hiding spot of my mind that I will access when I feel alone. Seriously thank goodness for technological advancements in communications!
Finally, I really plan on becoming a role model in Cambodia. I do think it is my time to shine, my sunshine. I am certain to soon write funny things, and be more colourful, but I am a big boy now and I know what is important to reflect upon before I leave, and that is...what was it again? Oh yes, hmm ok, ok fine, everyone who I love...
