couple of old pics of est

it took me a while but...

...i've finally settled in. coming back to canada for the first time in so long took a few days of re-adjusting. it wasn't until i got to guelph that i realized how strange and overwhelmed i felt. and constant thoughts about coming back to japan and what i would do. my mind felt muddled and i was thinking too much.
chilling out in julia's living room listening to my matty play the guitar, i just felt content and happy to be enjoying that moment. and realized that at first it may feel as though everyone's changed and everything is different, but upon closer inspection you realize that in fact most things are just like how they were.
i'm torn between what i feel i want to do and what i feel i should be doing. what is the easier decision and what is the better decision. life experience vs moving forward.
and the days are just going by like all moments of bliss...
