Hello, September and an even bigger hello to you! After displaying a tiny bit of consistency on this blog I dropped off, even though I know it’s one of the worst things that a blogger can do. Writing something worth reading when one is feeling bad isn’t easy, which only increases the blogging break. That being said, I thank God for the much-needed holiday of Labour Day.

Our first date went well so I was looking forward to seeing Sayo again. We were talking a lot (in person at my grandmother’s house, on the phone, and through Facebook messenger). I’m a grouch in the mornings but I was getting used to waking up to a cheery good morning message from Sayo—his messages made me believe that he was happy to be alive. Even today, I feel cheated if for some reason I don’t see that good morning message when I wake up.
It wasn’t all romance though; we had misunderstandings along the way. Continue reading
June is my favourite month of the year and not just because it’s my birthday month! Summer in Canada officially begins in June and if you lived in Ottawa, where the winters are long and c-o-l-d, you’d understand why summer is such a big deal (full disclosure: it did hail yesterday—yup, ice pellets—so summer isn’t off to the warmest start but we have hope). It’s time for another Thankful post so let’s get started!
