lovers do, lovers you.

it is funny how much can change in a year
looking back to last year at this time I would have never thought I would be in the place I am today.
I wouldn't change any of it for the world,not a second of any day that has passed. All those generic quotes that people use and tell you, "the journey is the destination", well sometimes they really do make sense.

I write my last exam of my tenure here at McMaster in less then three hours and for the first time in a long time everything is starting to make sense, everything is sort of falling into place. I feel like I actually am figuring out who I am and who I want to be, there is so much more I want to learn, need to experience and have to give and I am ready for that.




"Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it."
— Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia)
