One year

I've been back from Montreal since 365 and few hours. It's been already a year. Can you believe it? I don't. It seems I left yesterday but at the same time, everything related to Montreal seem so far away. Well, it helped me a lot to go back there in February, to spend time with people I didn't think I would see so soon.
So, what did I learn this year? What did life teach me?
The feeling of missing Montreal never left me. Don't tell me it's just because of Jonathan, I miss all of you guys in Montreal and I miss the city, I miss the life style, I miss the atmosphere. I miss the 10 things I listed earlier in this blog.
But I appreciated being back in Geneva: seeing the beautidful lanscape, watching the moutains everyday, the warmth of my home, being back with my family. I love that!!! I love spending time with my friends, it's great to laugh with them and to share a bit of their life. Spending time with my grandparents is such a gift!
I learned a lot during this year: I had success, I made mistakes, I learned things about myslef, I developped new strategies to face the struggles in life. I realized that being sad and sitting there missing Montreal was not a solution. Living in my memories would be a really sad way to avoid reality. So I decided I would try to make my best out of this new year. And I'm pretty happy of the result: of course, I did some mistakes this year and I would do certain things differently if I could do it over again. But overall, I'm really happy. I learned a lot about myself: I discover with Jonathan that I could be really selfish and that I'm not the perfect girlfriend I thought I would be. Jonathan taught me a lot: he helped me to manage my stress, he helped me to love people more. I learned a lot at school even with the courses that I didn't like the most. I learned how to avoid the solution of facility and to take challengs because it's worth working hard on something to have a good result.
I learned to trust into God more: I realized once again that He was always there for me and that He would give me the best in every situation. It's just up to me to decide if I want to be happy or not. He showed that He had good things for me in Geneva, while I'm waiting to go back to Montreal.
I'm learning how to be an adult I guess.
Now, school and exams are over. I'm working on my BA dissertation for the whole summer and work a bit to make some money. I'm planning to be done with my BA dissertation in september. And then, I'm gonna find a job to work full time to make money. Meanwhile, I'm gonna apply to become a Quebec permanent resident. Jonathan is coming in Geneva for a bit more than 2 weeks at Christmas and if my immigration process is done, I will go back to Montreal with him in January. And this time, not just for a year. For a long time...
So here I am: a lot of dreams in my heads, a lot of hope, a lot of love. Let's continue!
