The stuff on her website isnt a great representation of whats out, i dont think its updated alot so yah check out those bathing suits. And if you learn to recognize them - you'll see them in every single music video...almost
Anyway a month into school has started and i keep focussing about the past. I mean this year, everything we do tends to focus for the future post graduation and I just want to enjoy here and now. I miss the past becuase everything was simple, blissful, and i felt invinsible-isnt that youth? now life is just bigger than i can handle, and so overpowering in everyway. i dont have control anymore and its scary. even with my closest relationship i dont feel secure. i feel like i can lose all that anyday. I've lost all grip, and i need to redefine myself. but why cant i be fine just the way i am.
anyways, university is great - its here to make us THINK, analyze, broaden our perspectives about the world and its values. Its a great thing right - you just realize so much more about the world, but at the same time that really challenges what you USED to believe, and sometimes you're left re-evaluating what you once used to be so strong on.(Previous post written many years ago that was never published)
Here I am, it is the year 2023 and I am clearing up my email because it has reached full capacity and I am currently planning my firstborn's 3rd birthday party and cannot be missing any emails. I'm going through old emails, memories, photos, lots of spam.. and then I come across my old blog. I click through the posts. Some make me laugh, others make me squirm, and the old me just laughs at the young, care-free Jessica. So here I am 15 years later, married to an incredible man, given birth to 2 beautiful boys, living in the most beautiful neighbourhood in Toronto and grateful for where life has brought me. I thought to myself, how amazing it is for me to have recorded all this, otherwise I would've forgotten about all these little life events, feelings, emotions, friends, family.. I need to continue this. Record my life and remember it. Celebrate it. So it is the year 2023. Right now I am currently:One thing's for sure, I'm no longer as animated and humorous as I once was. Its as if I've lost a spark, a light within me. Oh motherhood is so tiring. lol. At least my spelling and writing has improved.. hah.Jaimee's finishing her 2nd last year at Schulich. Jordans working as a specials constable in the city. Parents, grandma, status quo. We are two years post pandemic. I gave birth to my second son with COVID, wearing an N-95... giving birth (both times) was physically and mentally the hardest thing I've had to do in my life. But was it worth it? Completely, 100%. I love my boys and my family.Maybe I will keep this up, fingers crossed.Sincerely,J
