• went to toronto w. my bf over the weekend. just took a two hour drive there, stayed for two nights. it was amazing. we walked 10km in two days, just exploring downtown and exploring different resturants, cafes, game shops, bars, comedy clubs, the aquarium, vintage stores. we went to the CN tower but we didn't go in it because it was expensive (CAD$ 100 for two!) & we figured it's fine because our airbnb had a nice view from being on the 32 floor lol.

• be a kind person. know your limits, and communicate your needs, but try to be nice.
• don't be a pushover. if someone crosses you, is rude to you, mistreats you, or is being a jerk - tell them off!
• the pressure to fit in and be accepted is very strong, it's evolutionary - and it can be lonely to swim against the current - but you'll be happier than following trends you don't believe in.
