Oh my God, you guys. It's been a week today since I left. Sort of, time zones are weird. Anyway, our internet finally started working like two days ago so here is my first week recap! This update is gonna be a long one, so buckle up, kiddies.

On sisters and happiness and knowing I can always come home.

So, it's here.

Goodbye, Squamish; Hello, Vancouver!

I dunno if you guys know this, but I've been living in Squamish for the last ten or so months trying to save up money for this trip. And in the mean time, I got to do things like:

It's a month until I leave, but also-- IT'S A MONTH UNTIL I LEAVE?!

I'm only a few weeks away from leaving and I'm already starting to get the jitters! Now that my ticket and insurance is bought, and that I've actually officially planned a 'going away' party of sorts, it's all becoming a bit more real than I thought it would.

Honestly, I'm still the most worried about the spiders.

I guess the big question is, why am I going? And you know, shit, I have no idea either. I guess it's just a desire to be somewhere that I have no history for a while, just to see who I am without it.
