Back and forth

I have returned to Toronto, yet again, and this time was not so different from when I landed in September: I cried again when we touched down on the runway, terribly sad that I am once again so far away from so many amazing people. Yes, I am glad to be back here in some ways, to be near my family and friends that are here with me, but it's becoming increasingly harder and harder to leave the UK after my stints over there. This time I don't know for sure when I'm going back (though I'm hoping for early autumn), this time Emily is not in Toronto, this time I have even less money, and this time I have no idea what I'm doing with my life.

I have all sorts of plans laid out, but as they say even the best laid plans... More on that later.

For now, a big thank you to everyone who made my visit in the UK so wonderful. I am very foruntate to have so many amazing friends all over the world, but I must admit the ones in England have a way of making me feel really, really at home. I know this sounds dumb, because I naturally feel at home when with my friends in Toronto, but I am so comfortable and happy when in England with my dear friends there that it instantly makes an unfamiliar place feel like home.

Hmmm, I think I need to stop writing here. I'm feeling a bit too sorry for myself this morning and this will only turn into some sort of sad rant about how miserable life is at home in Toronto. Truth is, it's not so bad, I'm just not where I want to be and I'm certainly not doing what I want to be doing. Hopefully over the next couple of days I'll get my head back on straight and will have more positive things to say. Otherwise I'll write another sob story on here about how much I miss my friends in England.
