legoland

remember lego?

imagine we lived in a world of lego and moving meant only having to build with the blue blocks instead of the red ones – this was a random thought i had recently

with lego, the possibilities were endless… you could build a rectangular, one story cottage with the small red rimmed windows… or instead, a square, two floor house with garage attached… all it took for a change of scenery was replacing a few plastic trees with some of those cool looking lego flowers

if only life were that simple

it’s strange for me to think we are so easily uproot-able… throughout my university career, i moved every single year until i came to ryerson, where i spent two lovely years at my address – the longest i had ever stayed in one place during my education

it was an emotional good-bye and rightfully so… a lot went down over those two years, both good and bad

but i decided change was needed

this september, i took the leap and made a move… a move that was done completely on my own – no boy to sway my decision or weigh in on my choice, no roommate apparently to keep me from choosing the place i like… just me.

plain and simple

this was huge. coming to toronto in the first place was a big step for me but i had some help… this move however, was significant in that i did it independently… i had to.

fresh start, putting the pieces back together, slowly…

i’m building my blue three car garage out of the tiny blocks… i’ll get there eventually… but don’t be surprised if i make some changes along the way ;)
