I have been away so long that my LJ friends have removed me from their lists lol.
I just deleted a very long entry about my life since moving back to Toronto. I read it over again and realised how dumb I would sound. Sure there aren't any good or steady orthodontist jobs within an hour of Toronto, but I'm not starving. Yes, my girlfriend and I have had some disagreements and I have no idea where she is in Europe right now, but we'll talk about it when she gets back. I have so much to be happy about my life, despite being Toronto's First Welfare Orthodontist (aka TWFO). In fact, now that I've decided to open my own office, I'm no longer TWFO but TMIDO (Toronto's Most In-Debt Orthodontist).
Thank you so much to those who have been supportive of me over the last several months. It has been one of the toughest times of my life. Years ago, I had to learn not to worry about what others expected of me. The more difficult part has been to live with my own expectations of myself. Thanks again for reminding me of who I am during this difficult transition period. Love you all.
