Heeeeey welcome back (to me) (and also to you). So yeah. I'm in Canada now.
Has it been weird?
Yes
Honestly, idk how much of this will sound cliche, but like - the truth is always cliche, cuz everyone's experienced it already. That sounded cliche. Whatever.
Yeah so, its been a bit weird - eight months is a weird timeframe where, it really isn't that much time at all, while simultaneously being enough time to adjust you to a completely different world. China's pretty intense, and crazy, and noisy, and crowded (fun fact: most of the cars i went in didn't have seatbelts, which i've been telling people is because there's so many people in china that there are no highspeed collisions cuz everyones so close to each other that they dont need them. Which could be true. idk) but like... i adapted. Hard. The people and the constant things to do werrrre invigorating for someone who lives in a town with one stoplight. China's always changing yet always feels the same.
And it was a feeling i got super used to and comfortable with.
There's the people i miss (a lot), and the places, and the memories and stuff, but honestly,
since i moved back to Canada, the thing that gets me most is the space. It's everywhere. Like, seriously there are open fields and crazy stretches of highway everywhere ('maybe for you, you guy from a town where everything is sponsored by 'the tractor club', and yeah fair. But it's like the whole country on a smaller scale). It'sa friggin huge place with not a lot of people, which is honestly super special and incredible. But. I guess I found that my element involves a lot of people - i like being surrounded by people everywhere. I mean, it makes sense - people have always kinda been my thing yknow.
idk whats next for me. I got a good job right now and have more or less settled in well - but theres that darn itch i was told i might get that just makes me wanna go somewhere again. And who knows when that'll be. I should probably graduate - like i will, but i mean, graduate before i go anywhere for a while. It makes sense. But id like to travel somewhere (smaller scale) in the next little while, just to do it again. I got my whole life and anywhere is literally just a plane ride away (it only costs like a few days work and a few hours to go so many places and thats craaaaaaaazy). Idk man. Id like to go back to China at some point maybe too - guess i got a while to decide.
So yeah. That's kind of a summary of some things - there's a general restlessness trying to figure out what i wanna do next. But then again, Canada is a friggin gorgeous place (with insane air omg. Just stepping out of the airport (in Toronto no less) and experiencing the air for the first time in 8 months was insane - the air here is so so great) with incredible things to see and experience, and that makes it a nice place to stay. Until i decide to get goin somewhere again.
Who knows man. But thanks for reading all this time. This has been fun and i appreciate all the views you friggin champs ✌️ till next time (idk if there'll be a next time but we'll waaait and see)
