Career Chop Suey.

Hello...Tory?... Tory Burch? that's all I kept thinking as I sorted through my suitcase, not in a neat and organized way because come on if you know me you would know I am not an organized and neat person when it comes to getting dressed. So after the mess was made, Tory, Marc, Theory and my Citizens reunited to create a fabulous outfit. "Perfect!" I would say so for a day in the city.

In the past week, Vancouver has been good to me, it has introduced me to yoga classes; hot, flow and yin, it has showed me that burberry rain boots are put to good use once you leave the boundaries of Toronto and that dreams can come true...one step at a time. I found myself in a confusing state today, something even the "chill out" classes of yoga couldn't save me. I've talked to various people, thought to myself and came to a conclusion; I will fly home. Why?...a lot of people have asked me, I thought you loved Vancouver?...Correct, I do LOVE Vancouver but I have one suitcase, no personal belongings and a car sitting at home, not wanting to be left behind while I go explore these new territories. Therefore, a whole week at home will cure this mass confusion going on in my head right?...

If I miss Vancouver, I will return but this time not alone, boxes of clothing will trail behind me with UPS and I will wait for them to arrive anticipating being able to put them in my brand new closet. On the other hand, Toronto is a great city too...right? I've lived in Toronto my entire life, well east of Toronto so technically I've never lived IN Toronto, so why am I judging a city based on living around it? Probably because I applied for jobs there for 6 months and got nothing...talk about feeling like a failure...no wonder I am so against it and jumped on the first plane I could to get to Vancouver.

So...I am going back to Toronto, this time with a much more positive attitude. Hey, if our relationship doesn't work out then I know Vancouver will be waiting for me with open arms and a trendy job. Believe that everything happens for a reason, if you get a chance;take it, if it changes your life; let it. Nobody said it was going to be easy, they just said that it would be worth it.
