I guess you could say that life came to a stand-still for me when I came home. Let me assure you it was a much needed stand-still and a time of recuperation. I'm incredibly lucky for many reasons and the top of this list includes the family that raised me. Most surprising this summer was the connection with my siblings who have grown up right under my nose without my realizing. For the first time in a long while, coming home felt like coming home and I regained the stability I'd thought I'd lost.
Five reasons why I'm lucky.
“Other things may change us, but we start and end with family”I'm currently in Utah visiting the family on my mothers side. I'm glad to have gotten the chance, among other things, to rock climb outdoors with my cousin, chauffer my grandparents after my G-Pa's surgery, and record with my uncle for his radio show (Al is talented, but I'm a spaz bot in front of a mic). Also worth mentioning is the independent film White on Rice - I recommend it if you're looking for some light comedy. My stay in Utah has been the perfect mini vacation before the big adventure. I can't believe I leave for Montreal tomorrow morning!
The title of this entry is the title of a Veils song; though the song does not necessarily express my feelings or impressions right now, the title surely expresses my need (yes, need) to begin again in a new location and school.
