Moving on

In this life we all move forward.

Moving forward in one’s life can be one of the most difficult things to do. Sometimes when we move forward it isn’t by choice, it’s forced. You wake up one day as you would any other, but on that day everything changes. The life you used to be accustomed to only seconds ago, will no longer be your everyday routine anymore.

You’re moving on.

Now being forced to move on isn’t always a bad thing. When we think of force we often think of something bad. Like when you break up with that horrible high school boyfriend and you feel as though the carpet has been pulled out from underneath you and that your whole world is ending, when that day comes and you are forced to move on from him.

That’s the shitty kind of forced.

I’m not talking about that kind of forced. What I mean by forced is the chance to experience something new- many new things….a new house, a new school, new friends, a new lifestyle.

I’m talking about you that girl who will be starting a new chapter of her life all over again in just over a month.

That kind of forced.

It’s the scary, but exciting kind of forced -the kind that she will take complete control of and rock the shit out of whatever comes her way.

Why? Because she is fearless (and jumps out of planes….)

Life throws you curveballs no doubt and that’s a fact. And this is most definitely one of those high-speed fast moving balls. But I believe that moving on and moving forward is the best thing that can happen to a person. The best part about starting something new is the feeling you get deep inside your stomach. The feeling that I know you LOVE more than anything because that is the kind of person you are. That feeling is now and it’s yours.

So run with it.

Go to LA and find everything that makes you happy. Keep adding to that bucket list of yours. Fall in and out of love a thousand and one times. Do everything there that you couldn’t do here and MORE.

We’ll always be here when you’re ready to come back. Some things never change, and I promise you that your true friends are those things. All those things will stay with you forever.

 5 years went by way too fast. But I’m glad I got to know you the way I did. We helped each other get through grade 9 French right up until finishing our first year of University together. We grew up and now we’re here. I wish you the best of luck in all that you do and hope that whatever you do you do it for you.

Have the best time of your life. I know you will.

In this life we all move forward.
