I Moved to Canada!
So last month, I moved to Toronto to study the Illustration program at Seneca College for the next couple of months. I don’t have the words to express how much I have worked my ass off in order to achieve this goal I had for a couple of years now. And I fucking did it. And even though the journey has been so fucking challenging and has been full of ups and downs, I can really say that, in this precise moment of life, I’m proud of myself. I’m not gonna pretend that I’m not scared as hell, that I am not anxious about the future, the new challenges life may bring, the new lifestyle I will need to follow and the cultural shock, but in all honesty, I’m trying to remain calm and excited, to see this is an opportunity to keep growing and to keep unpacking every piece of me I carry inside of this temporary body. I have so much to learn and I am really willing to do my best while focusing on me, on this opportunity life has given me and just continue to open doors for myself. I recall that my first post this year was my (only) New Year’s resolution for 2021 which was to never settle. This is what I had in mind when I wrote that. I wanna keep moving. I wanna keep learning. I wanna keep fighting for a better future for me and the people that I love. I'm in debt with my family and friends, whom have always been there to push & motivate me to seek new horizons. Living in Canada was one of the goals I had since I was a little peanut. And here I am. I will miss so much my home country, my family, friends and everything I’ve ever known as home. But on the other hand, I am so happy I will be reuniting with people I carry close to my heart and also will be getting to know more people, from different backgrounds, experiences and motivations different than mines, from which I definitely learn something valuable. So… this is what dreams are made of, I guess haha.
