The Vanouver Way.

It rains here, is that so bad? So far rain is the only negative part of this city. I arrived in Vancouver Tuesday January 12 2010, why should I share the date with you, well because it’s the middle of winter in Canada and its raining. Warm temperatures, green grass, mountains in the distance and beaches all across the coast, this is what surrounds me; so why wouldn’t I stay?

I ventured around the city today, to Kits and UBC, it’s indescribable even for someone who likes to write, its potentially the best place for me to be. I had a feeling that my life was headed in this direction “west’” and the best part is this time it was for me. Inspiration, I’m always looking for through books, people, places and simple what I surround myself with, BC is one of the most beautiful cities in Canada, hence the license plates “beautiful British Columbia” they only speak the truth, honesty it s a great start to a relationship.

“Not tied down…maybe later” I found this quote on a Hollister t-shirt, lame, but it was a quote that I have been saying for years and never followed. I lived my life for everyone else except for myself, I was scared to live my own life and experience it alone. I believed in being independent, I believed in being strong, I believed in a lot of things that I didn’t actually do. Therefore, as I continued my tour through Vancouver, I realized MY life is the only thing I want to focus on and I discovered this because of some else, ironic?…maybe.

I introduced myself to a friend yesterday and again today, we had great conversation, epic food, and still as I sit here writing, am I laughing about all the crazy and ridiculous things we said to one another. I did say that I introduced myself, it was the first time we have seen each other in about 3 years, even those years ago we didn’t hang out, we simply just knew each other from school, it was a great feeling to have someone put so much effort into helping me out and taking interest in my life, those guys don’t exist anymore. Vancouver has opened my life to things I never knew existed, is it love or lust?…I guess we will find out as I continue the search to find my Birkin.
