Forgive me father, for I have sinned...my last confession was a week ago. I'm sorry to my fellow bloggers, family and friends because I have not written on here since the move to Vancouver. I am currently living in my new place with no internet, furniture or TV but I stay positive and say one day...it will all be mine!
So I start off my arrival in Vancouver with a hockey bag, a large suitcase, a carry on and of course, Marc who is always by my side. As I struggle to cart around all of my belongings throughout the airport trying to find where the pick up area for the arrivals are in this airport and may I add newly renovated and much bigger airport I see my new favourite walking towards me! What a fantastic way to start a chaotic day. I finally arrive at my place, eleventh floor, underneath the penthouse, not too shabby, my view is absolutely gorgeous, let's just put it this way, while I cook I will enjoy looking at mountains and their snowy peaks, it sparked a sudden interest in cooking.
For the past couple days, I have been organizing, decorating and enjoying my new city with new friends who go out of their way to help me. Remember, we aren't in Toronto anymore, people actually want to support you so you can be happy, what a nice change. In Van, I have inspired myself to believe, to set some goals and focus on what I truly want, which is happiness. Is that too much for a girl to ask? To be happy; it is your own interpretation and mine consists of being focused on a career path, a path that I can see starting here in a company that is continuously growing, where I can express my thoughts, use creativity and be passionate about my true love; fashion.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being in love with fashion, I have tried with men, but I seem to fall in love...and fall out of love a lot quicker than a pair of Chanel pumps would break, fade or simply go out of style. So as I always say "husbands come and go but Chanel pumps are for life!" Okay, I didn't say that but it is a quote that most women who are fashionable and independent always stick too because it is true, Chanel is quality...always remember quality over quantity right?... Anyways, back to it, sorry guys...I think most of you are great. Fashion is not “just clothes” I strongly dislike people who say that, why?...because fashion is culture, art, expression, inspiration, colour, it is a way to show others your sense of being an individual. Hey, I like to throw on a pair of leggings, slouchy boots, a sweater and a comfy scarf too and go out, there's nothing wrong with that but fashion isn't just about the clothes we own in our closet. It is my passion for a reason and I will stick by it’s side no matter what it brings to me, even moving across the country won’t stop me.
So as I insist on only looking forward and never looking back, I continue to stay positive and never to forget what goals I have set for myself. This is my life and I only get to have one chance to make it right, if you want to call me selfish…I will agree with you, I am selfish because I strongly believe that my happiness is the most important . I appreciate everyone that has been apart of it and who are supporting me with my dreams and I will forget the ones that are not.
I officially live in Vancouver, I am currently working for a fashion company, I have my own place and my own friends, I love to do creative writing , play sports, yoga, styling , photography and shopping. I am not tied down…maybe later, I just do my own thing!
“I believe that everything happens for a reason
people change so that you can learn to let go
things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they’re right
you believe less so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself
and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together”
