Jojo Speaks

Judging from the changing weather here in Toronto, summer is coming to an end and it just blows my mind at how I can neglect my blog for 2 whole months! As most people are saying, it seems like summer was barely here before it left again but I am much too satisfied with it to complain. I’ve learned that the only thing you can control is yourself, it doesn’t matter if the weather is hot or cold, it is within our control to enjoy whatever comes our way. Life is full of changes and it is about time that we all embrace this simple fact. How much happier would we be if we accept the changes that take place in our lives instead of being afraid of the uncertain?

For me, I’ve had my fair share of changes this summer. Not only am I not a student anymore but I’m also living on my own for the first time. Who knew it could get so lonely? The self-proclaimed strong and independent woman finds herself craving for companionship way too often.

Is it the fact that the two most precious beings in this world to me are thousands of miles away? Probably.

Maybe it’s because I’m living in a place that’s clearly too big for me. Time to move.

Lastly, it’s probably because I’m still jobless despite the many praises I’ve gotten at choosing a profession that’s in “high demand” even in this recession.

The last point is where I would have to exercise patience and perseverance. Being jobless is the least of my worries, actually. Don’t get me wrong, it is a top priority but I’m in no rush to become a professional, further solidifying the fact that I am now an adult. I love nursing and all but those 12 hour shifts are killer.

In an attempt to stay “young” I’m signing up for another year of gym membership at Ryerson. Though annoying, it’s undeniably refreshing to be around careless young adults that seem to carry no sense of responsibility whatsoever.  **BTW, being an alumni is absolutely useless to me if they can’t give me a good discount at the RAC.** I never thought I’d say this but I’m a little sad that I’m not going back to school in the fall. The feeling is so bittersweet. Lucky for me, I’ll still get to work out there. I’m going to tell you a little secret about myself, I love running/working out. I don’t have to force myself to go to the gym, it’s actually something I crave to do. It energizes me, makes me feel better. Now all I have to work on are my eating habits and then I can call my self a health freak.
