I'm in a particularly mellow mood today. Listening to jazz with a glass of wine next to a candle type of mood. My past few months in Canada have been quite the experience. I've endured weather I never imaged and saw animals I've never heard of and met some people who are from all over with cool life stories. Saw the beautiful mountains of Banff and Lake Louise, learned winter survival skills, and even replaced saying "soda" with "pop" (weird because my 4 years in Pittsburgh didn't even have me saying that). One thing I haven't experienced yet though is seeing a moose and witnessing the Northern Lights. I still have a week or two left, so I will not lose hope!
As Winter Projects is winding down here, I'm preparing myself for what's next to come.
It's always hard to leave a place I've stayed at for long. I'm the type of person who melts and molds and slips through the cracks of her surroundings and becomes a part of it. So much that when it's time to leave, I always feel a pang of sadness. I get easily attached to things, which is ironic because I love exploring and going different places. I leave a little part of me when I leave the places I've been and loved.
So goodbye Canada, and I hope to see you again sometime.
But preferably when it's above 0 degrees. ;-)
