How lucky to have a view like this in the heart of the city.
Two and a half years since I came here and climbed this mountain.
I was careful on its icy paths then.
People ask why I came to Montréal.
I was following a dream.
But then, of course, life here became a reality.
One I’ve come to love just as much as the city.
I thought I wasn’t a city person, but I just hadn’t lived in Montréal. I feel such a connection to this city. My life here hasn’t been idyllic or easy. In fact, sometimes it’s been quite hard. The dream I followed here has reshaped into something else entirely. The life I wanted and the life I have are quite different, yet I find myself in a life that I love. There have been so many changes and more are coming. I look forward to them and know they will all come with their own challenges, ones I can’t yet see. And I also know I am exactly where I need to be.
