Today marked an end of a chapter, a chapter that was filled with lies, backstabbing and constant put-downs. It was really a great way to end this chapter, by just walking away and "peacing out". Honestly, it's not really my way of putting an end to things but this was how it should have been done a long time ago.
I can't even start on how wonderful today was. It's been a while since I've been so content with how my life is playing out. I'm not saying everything is perfect right now, there are still some minor issues I need to deal with but all in all, life is GOOD.
I guess, it's true what they say, it's the people who you surround yourself with who really makes or breaks you. Like I said in my other post, I'm a pretty private person. I don't even share a lot of my feelings with my close friends or even so, boyfriend. However, yesterday while walking back to T's house from "The Sugar". I realized how, my lifestyle has changed so much. I've always been a runner, I run and I keep myself busy - thats just how I function. Yet lately, I have really slowed down my life. That walk made me realized how important it is to just slow down and take things in day by day. I told T about all the situations that has been happening in my life and to be honest, it was this HUGE weight that was lifted off my shoulders. I guess, that's how things should work right? My burden is yours, vice versa. It's a new concept I'm trying to grasp but with time, I know I'll get the hang of sharing my feelings.
So, lately I have been hanging/talking to Joanne A LOT. I guess, in such a short time span, she really knows everything that's going on with me. My fears, my dreams, my "issues", pretty much everything. I am pretty candid with her and I am glad she is with me too. After all, friendship is a 2 way street, It's been a REALLY long time since I've found another female that really understands me and that I can be myself with. I'm just so glad after all this time, we finally sat down and got to know each other better. She's really a huge part of why I'm so content with my life right now. For so long, I've been battling my own battles on my own and now I can share my rage & happiness with someone. Thanks Wifey <3
So, enough with my rumblings. This is what went down today:
- saw 2 of my most favourite people in the world: T & Joanne. Honestly, it was brief with T but just seeing him really makes my day
- went to Queen's Park for Rainbow King & huge blown up mushrooms
- took a long amazing stroll down the core of Toronto
- finally going to the Distillery District, I'm so IN LOVE with this place. It has so much energy, perhaps it was because they were holding the wine/spirits expo or whatever it was called
- had an AMAZING dinner with Joanne @ Mill Street Brew Pub
- had another romantic walk to union station <3>
Honestly, this was the best date I've ever been on.
So what else is going on in my life?
I've been feeling more comfortable in my skin lately. I've been finishing off all my meals lately without counting the calories. I'm just so glad for the all the people thats been feeding me lately. I still have days where I'm still upset with how my body looks but I just remind myself that I am healthy and that's the most important thing!
Work is more or less okay. I wish I could just move faster up the ladder. Everything takes time right? I know for sure, I'll be off doing bigger and better things come this time next year.
July looks pretty packed, with skydiving, cottaging, roadtripping, more dinner dates with wifey... honestly, I don't know what I did in my past life but I'm the luckiest girl in the world.
