Important Lessons in my 30’s
Our lives flash by very quickly if we blink. I’ll start by saying that when I was seven, I wanted nothing but to be an adult. I wanted to have a car to drive, and I wanted to have a job to go to and pretend that I had an important business meeting. I wanted to eat whatever I could and live on microwave popcorn. I thought that’s all adults wanted to do, and that’s all they had to do. I think we were all told the same thing, we get a degree, get a job, buy a house and have two to five children and we will figure out the rest like our parents did. That reality has been washed away by inflation and our bad economy. However, we cannot keep thinking these negative thoughts. I have learned a few lessons in my early thirties that I will share with you all.

Moving from Big City to Small Town
I grew up in one of the largest cities in Canada. There was always somewhere to go and somewhere to be; everyone was always in a rush to go, go, go. No one has time to stop and say hello as you pass them, and why would you? Why would you stop and say hello to a stranger? There was no need to. There is something different here. I moved from the hustle and bustle of a beautiful city close to the mountains to right in the mountains. Strangers have stopped to wish you a happy New Year when they had AirPods in their ears. The pace is different, everything is slow, and people have time to stop and say hello. However, if you want to get stuff done on the weekend good luck. A lot of places are closed. We were thinking to get our British Columbia Drivers licenses and we can’t do it without my husband taking time off work or starting early and rushing to get it done before end of day which happens to be at 4:30 pm. Yet again there’s no rush, people take their time talking to cashiers, not everyone avoids eye contact and are in and out of stores with a blink of an eye. Everyone talks to you like they’ve known you for years.

Stuck on Life
“You know, when you're stuck in the same old routine in the city, it's easy to get caught up in the grind and forget what life is really about. But then you take a step back, get out of town, and watch the sunset, and it's like a whole new world opens up.”
