I left Ontario in search of adventure and new things. Although I found many new things and had one hell of an adventure, I realized that I needed more. The trip itself was an awesome adventure but as soon as I started handing out resume's at some restaurants, all of the big new adventures just felt like they were fading away. I just felt like I was slipping right back into the same routine that made me drive all the way out there.
Wake up and go to work to pay for an apartment, groceries and car, then go to sleep at night.. Not my idea of exciting adventures and new things. I just felt like it would be much better to go back to live with my family and friends if I was just going to end up living the exact life that I was trying to escape from.
As of now my plan is to get a new job here in Belleville after the big Holiday rush and save every penny until Winter decides to end. I'll be working at getting some things in place before I am ready to head back to the West. I did really enjoy Calgary (and of course I loved the mountains), so I would love to be able to go back and live there for a while.
I want to mention how grateful I am for my dad. When he heard that my plans weren't panning out the way I had hoped, he hopped on the next flight to Calgary so that I wouldn't have to drive all the way home by myself. We ended up staying in Calgary for almost a week before heading home and had a great time together. Also a huge thank you to my Aunt and Uncle for giving me a place to stay and for being really supportive of me and my thirst for adventure.
So after everything that has happened, I'm really excited to see what the future holds. I'll post a bunch of photo's that I took while exploring the mountains below. I cannot wait to go back!
