I’ve just booked my flight to Winnipeg. So it’s official: I’ll be in Winnipeg on the 20th of May!
I miss a lot of things about Winnipeg: breathing in the fresh clean air; Roaming around mindlessly around River Heights, Wolsley, Downtown and the West End; Strolling around empty streets with music on; The surroundings of grass and trees; Walking across the bridge over the calm river; JUST relaxing around with friends and laughing; Hanging out at The Forks; Walking around the West End with old friends and absorbing good old memories and so much more. I feel so home sick.
Winnipeg is the one and only city that will ever make me feel like home. Ever since I moved to Toronto, it’s always felt like a vacation there, I never felt that warm feeling inside of me that made me feel settled. I don’t think it’s the city itself that makes me feel it (though it is a factor) but it’s most likely all of the memories I have walking around area to area. There are stories that I could tell, memories that I could remember: the best part is sharing those memories with old friends that experienced it with you!
Winnipeg, to most: bland, boring, small, nothing-to-do, flat prairie city… But…
The simple things in life that can only be enjoyed in Winnipeg are priceless.
