Sundays at Tams are the reason I stay in this city every summer. Mimosas, snacks for days, cute friends and sunsunsun: you really can’t beat that! Looking forward to many many more of these!

—My 21st birthday was a definite success. I don’t mean to brag but I have the most amazing friends in the whole world. I can’t believe how much has happened in the past year, there have been some really shitty moments but the really amazing, wonderful moments with those people who mean the world to me have made it all smooth over just fine. They have always put a smile on my face and have made me laugh to tears. It’s only been a few days of being 21 but I can already tell this year is going to be a wild ride! And this city… there is no place I’d rather be than here with you, Montreal. Everyday is a party, even if it means we’re in bed unable to move from the night before, cuddling with our orange juices and passing out with pizza in our hands, it’s a party.
I have more year left here, and there’s no way I’m counting down the days till I’m gone because this city has truly become home. And everyone I have met here and everything I have done here has made the experience invaluable. Cheers to turning 21, cheers to this school year coming to an end, cheers to the changes ahead and cheers to you Montreal…you’re a beauty~
—This week has been a handful, it has been a tough few days but the weight of the world seems to be lifted from my shoulders.
It has been hard asking for support and help, I like to give my love to people when they need it…I haven’t had to ask for the conversation to be turned to be about me, in a long time. I can’t believe what amazing people I have supporting me, I could not be more thankful.
Slips and falls happen, left right and center, everywhere you turn people are changing, doing, moving, crashing…and I guess that’s what has scared me most in the last few months. I wasn’t ready for a big change, until I woke up a few days ago and realized there is no one who can help myself become better, and feel better, except…myself.
When those few thoughts came together in my head as I began to wonder what the fuck took me so long to piece it together.
My loneliness and sadness are expected, the support and love I feel from all around…from people who are in my everyday life, to those who I have to spend endless hours coordinating when to talk because they are far…everyone around me has been great.
I guess I have a long way to go, but I have come a long way. So hey, there’s something to highlight and remind myself of. That’s something to look back on and to look forward to.
I want to make this here about myself. I want to keep tabs on where life is taking me. It freaked me out today when I opened my journal and realized I have written 8 pages in the past 6 months. Where has it gone? I want to write again…it’s going to be the best way to feel like myself again.
I want to look back and say, I did that…and regardless of how little or big the revelations come to me in the next little while, they will come and I want this to be a reminder that things will be fine…better than, they will be amazing.
It will come.
I just want to be in this magical place.

Beautiful and silly, shot on a gorgeous day on a rooftop in Montreal. I had the pleasure of working with this amazing, fun crew, assisting on the shoot.

—I completely agree, almost a visceral feeling.

Had an oddly emotional reaction to this.
You are so beautiful to me;
