New Journey In Life... Finding Maturity.
Posted on: August 24, 2014, at 11:57:52pm

So as many of you know, I have started a new journey in my little, boring-old life. I recently moved to Vancouver to attend Simon Fraser University. Finding a place has been hard and has led me to couch-surf at my friends place, I was even so exhausted one day that I stopped at a park and had a power nap on a picnic table for a few hours.

Being basically homeless the past week has taught me some valuable lessons about handling my stress, and I am quite surprised as to how I am handling it. I feel as if I am growing up; becoming more mature, and it's significantly different from how I perceived myself just a little over a year ago when I moved to Calgary and had difficulties finding a place to live. I felt as if I was a complete and utter train-wreck back then, who jumped on the very first residence I was able to get, not caring about my happiness. While now, I am not rushing the process, I am valuing my happiness and well-being at a much higher regard than, my sense of security and stress, because previously, stress is what caused my previous "failures"; or which I like to call 'Learning Curves".

In the end my spiritual and physical well-being, alongside my happiness, are going to be the main reasons that cultivate me into the successful person, in which, I desire to become.

Take this story to heart, and try not to sweat the small stuff. Focus on making yourself happy, and finding yourself, you are never too young to do so. I know it has sure helped with me. :)

Love you guys,

Walker.
