Dear Summer 08'...De Toronto a (insert accent) Montreal
If you don't know Montreal is where I am from. We share a love and hate relationship. I mean I can't help but love the place that partially raised me and where my family resides. Hate is a strong word but sometimes, I feel that Toronto taught me how to grind and stay steady grinding. Not to say people in Montreal don't grind. In the music industry however and entertainment industry I find that the grind is much more thorough out in Toronto.
So I went home again this weekend, two nights was definitely too short :-) I didn't get to do all that I wanted. However I did get to enjoy an amazing night of partying at Club Opera, if you are ever in Montreal you MUST check it out.
I enjoyed the usual walk along Sainte- Catherine, dinner at Boccacinos...
Most importantly I was able to spend some well deserved time with my family. That is something that I never get to do enough. Everytime I go to Montreal part of me feels that I should stay, then I become scared that I wouldn't be hustlin' anymore. All that scares me so much that I convince myself that living here is the better choice for now. I want it all though, one day I dream of having a home in Montreal on the Mont-Royal and a residence in Toronto. I feel these two cities have raised me. So much of Montreal is in me and with me everyday.
Montreal taught me how to be HUNGRY - Toronto taught me how to use that HUNGER and HUSTLE HARD !!!!!Montreal taught me that sky was the limit, Toronto taught me how to gain the tools to reach the sky. I love and miss Montreal more than I like to admit sometimes. I definetly think my heart is in Montreal. Montreal taught me how to be tough and speak my mind, Toronto taught me that being tough doesn't isn't always well received by others :-)
