b is for banff
wow, i really have neglected livejournal lately.
i really just think that i am over this whole thing.
banff is going good. my first few weeks were rough because people here are quite negative and it was really dragging me down, which is not like me at all. so i picked myself up and things are really looking up for me which i am really happy about.
banff is breath taking. i don't care much for whats going on here, more as just fucking opening my eyes and seeing the beauty everywhere around me. it's really surreal.
banff is not a place i could live forever, it's more of an experience than a lifestyle for me. which is exactly what i came here for so that's good i suppose.
i really miss everyone and everyhing from back home, which was most definitley expected. but before i came here i was in a really weird time in my life and i needed to get away and figure some things out, and that's what i've been doing.
my grandma passed away 3 days before i came out here which made the move way more difficult on me and my family. but i knew my grandma was behind my decision to come out here 100%. she said the sweetest thing to me before she died. she said julie, just go out there and smile that smile of yours and everything will be ok, and i think she was right.
i like the fact that she is at peace now and she is with my dad in heaven, and during this time i truly feel at peace at well which is comforing.
i am so content just doing things on my own, sitting in the park, reading a book, listening to music, and just "taking it all in".
work is fun, it has nothing to do with what i want to do with my life. but my life is going to be a wild journey, and this is going to be many of my stops. i've met a good amount of really fun and interesting people. we are partying atleast 4 nights a week, and i am having a blast when i am with my crew. some sweet boys in the picture of course as well.
i am supposed to come home on august 5th, however i may come home a bit early. not because i don't like it here but because i would really love to spend more of the summer with the people that matter to me most - my friends and family back home. so i think i may come back mid-july. after i enjoy a bit more summer here, and go to the calgary stampede.
sjarde comes to visit on my birthday which i am super stoked about. and then i will go back to holland with her, amsterdam to be exact. once i am home from that i will be moving to toronto, most likely and hopefully with peter and tina which i am ecstatic about <3
after that i may go to thailand for a few months and hang out with my amazing uncle who lives there.
yup.
i can't believe it's here again. may 13th. a week tomorrow it will be 4 years since my dad was taken from us. i can't believe it. it's going to be hard for me to be here and not be with my family on that day. but i am hoping to have a really peaceful day in the mountains, because that's as close to heaven as i can get.
