life in 2 suitcases- Canadian Experience 0 (0)

I have been talking (a lot..too much?) about my upcoming trip..about packing my life to fit into storage and 2 suitcases.

A good friend of mine ( an immigrant from eastern Europe) said she knows what it is like to put your life into 2 suitcases.

This got me thinking…

A large percentage of Canadian are immigrants ( > 40% in Toronto I believe)

So is packing up your life, concentrating on what is the important parts of living, packing up your life into 2 suitcases, is now part of the Canadian psych?

Envy 0 (0)

Several time over the last week people have told me about how envious they are of what I am doing ( packing up and going on an extended trip)

This has me thinking about my life, and its ups and downs ( right now I will do anything to distract me from packing).

I remember when some of my friends left on an extended trip to Europe, and how I felt then.  I wanted to go so much, especially since I was part of the planning process, but I did not go.

My inability to organize my fiances, my unwillingness to leave the “safety” of where I was, keep me home, instead of on a plane across the ocean.

Toronto- Depression 0 (0)

Having a camera has been an important part of my life… an important part of who I am.

The ability it gave me to interact with people… the freedom it gave me to explore, felt really comfortable

Most of my life I have been happiest with a camera in my hand.

Over the past 2 years I went through a period when I did not want to pick it up…

I was turning away work. It would be weeks between touching my camera.

I did not want to face the my friend ( the camera) it had become my enemy.

It became a chore to do a shoot.
