YOLO

Life is not predictable and suddenly something can happen and you’re not prepared for those changes. Therefore, it’s important to act in the here and now and make decisions and not wait for “the best time”. Sometimes people procrastinate and to start something new for example studying, working, doing exercise or starting a new project they have an excuse to avoid taking the first step. At the same time the opportunities are lost because it is better to chill out but the time passes and people grow old.

So, enjoying life and everything that is part of is a marvelous therapy that feeds the soul: “Nothing ventured, nothing gained”. Sad moments happen and suddenly our beloveds can become sick or perhaps pass away and we never express our feelings to them and just regret remains.

Nowadays, people long  for the time with their relatives, friends or fellows and they wish to come back to their life before pandemic time but when they had the possibility to take advantage of their environment, they ignored the little and special things of the life as celebrating a birthday, drinking or eating something at restaurant, hanging out with friends, going to the beach, walking at park and all things that now are unlikely because of the pandemic.  

No one knows what one has, until one loses it. Why do we need to wait for something special to happen? Remember YOLO “You only live once” and the best things in life can be free, life is what you make it and while you decide if it’s better to leave your comfort zone and take risks at the same time you could be loosen opportunities.

Taking Decisions

Today I want to tell you about my experience living in a different country, due to nowadays I live in Canada but I’m from Colombia.

The determination to change of life wasn’t easy because I was starting again in a new place, far away from my family, friends, culture and customs. When my husband and I communicated our decision some friends and close people told me they wanted to change their lives too and they wanted to search for a better quality of life. However, some of them were afraid to get out of their comfort zones and it was understable considering that they had a stability in their jobs, social life, education and finances but at the same time they told me about their frustrations, emotions and needs in their lives.

My case was similar in the sense that I had my life in Colombia but I wanted a change and better life. However, to be an immigrant is not easy and if you don’t speak the language fluently, for example, in Canada it is important to speak English and French (Depends on the province). If you aspire to a good job you should speak good English (In my case it is English language because I’m living in Toronto). It’s true that Canadians are friendly and kind with newcomers but certainly there is a lot of competition in the labor market and for that it is important to have certain skills or abilities.

On the other hand, Toronto is a multicultural city and for me has been a nice experience to know about the variety in gastronomy, cultures, religions and other forms of life. Nevertheless, in this pandemic time the possibility to continue knowing about Toronto is limited and for that reason we have to wait.

Living in another country makes you feel alone, the emotions and feelings change but it’s important to have a social network, in our case we are introverted people but there are several ways to meet other persons like events at parks, libraries, workshops or conferences about different topics.

In summary, moving to another country is not easy but not impossible either, the success depends on each person and its behavior. Fortunately, there are opportunities and the most important is to take advantage of them.
