Last night across the pond, home is a flight away.
It’s been an incredible three months, so much growth, so much learning.
I remember clearly a conversation I had with S the weekend before we left, how I wasn’t sure how the trip would go. That I was very much a home bird. Things couldn’t be further from the truth now. I could see myself living in Vancouver. I’ve met so many wonderful people, connected into a community I felt very much comfortable in. The scenery is incredible, the wildlife breathtaking. I could call it home. The reality of it happening is questionable, but I’m not going to stop hoping! There may be an opportunity next year for a longer stint, if it presents itself I will most definitely be saying yes please!
But for now I need to head home to Edinburgh. I need to keep the magic of these past few months alive, implement the changes I want to make. Don’t allow myself to be dragged back into connections that are not healthy for me.
I’ve changed Edinburgh, my garden is no longer fenced.
Here’s to the next adventure!
