Lmao. I am going to have to answer this carefully so I don't get anyone hunting me down to kill me!
I think I can honestly say I miss everything about Montreal. Of all the place I've been and lived in, Montreal was, at times, the most traumatic for me (with crazy roommates!!!) but also the place where I was most myself. I loved the wintery cold -- the feeling of my nostrils freezing. I loved walking along the streets late at night in the snow to go see a film by myself. I loved the shopping, and dressing a way I enjoyed. I loved my dance classes. I loved the smell of sandalwood in that wiccan shop (for the life of me, can't recall it!) I loved the valiant attempts you and Sarah made to pull me into your group, and would have loved in many ways to stay and properly get into larping, and storytelling.
As for unfinished business, I think I left quite a bit behind *raised eyebrow & smile*. I could have easily stayed and made a whole different life. I left that confidence, and happiness just *being* behind, which is a shame. Montreal is an easy place to love.
I think, in the times I see me leaving this place, I can easily see myself returning to Montreal. Of course, the only problem would be finding a job.
