Quick Take - Life Update

It's been a while since I've written anything new, so please forgive me for both the lowered quality of the prose, and the inevitable disorganization that will follow below. This is more of an exercise in rediscovery than it is one of writing.

I'm in love with the city...or at least there is love in this city. Only a few weeks in Ottawa and my life has changed radically. Every week I'm meeting new friends and exploring new sites. I feel better at my job, like somehow being in the city has turned me into a young professional. It's nice to be making steady money and to be fully self sufficient (what some would call adulting). Hell, I'm even going back to school part-time to study film for fun, as if I needed another excuse to watch old movies in my spare time.

My health has improved as well. I've started eating (kind of) better again and swimming in an attempt to be fit, plus I find myself strolling around the city on an almost nightly basis, easing both mind and body. Old, creative habits still have their place, but new ones are also beginning. Perhaps most importantly, I have found time for writing again. It’s been too long since I’ve explored the avenues of my mind, and I think it’s about time I stop leaving all those unexplored emotions up above and get them back on paper. Therefore, expect regular contributions once again (and I do mean it this time)!

Within the city, I've discovered a new sense of calm and poverty. Ottawa has given me the ability to drop the emotional baggage I have carried for too long and start again. I no longer feel the creeping sense of depression that used to plague me, but rather I see the positives of what is yet to come. It’s been an expensive journey of self-discovery, but I have never been so happy with the results.

In short, everything is going perfectly.

But the thing that amazes me, and will perhaps always amaze me, is that the best thing about this extravagant journey has not been the city itself, but rather a girl. A girl (almost) as silly as me, who brings out the best of me, and ultimately makes this city the best place to be. It often makes me wonder if I am really in love with this city or if there is just so much worth loving in this city. Maybe it's neither. Either way, it's exhilarating. I don't remember the last time I've been this happy, or have had so much reason to start the morning. I anticipate the hours with a wondrous sense of intrigue and fondness, for the new day is no longer a burden, but an opportunity to do something I've never done before, often times with someone I adore. In my heart, I keep waiting for the bubble to burst, but it just hasn’t happened yet. As Sinatra would say, I’ve got the world on a string...

And maybe a day will come when it all comes crashing back into focus, but until then, I will take it all in, living for each and every moment, and being the best I can to those who make this city worth living in.

  • Thanks for stopping by my page! I’m Eduard Jaramillo.

    Even though I jokingly credit my mother for my writing talent, I know that it is a skill I have fostered from childhood. Though my aunt is a writer, I also started out young.
    I’ve always had a way with words, according to my favorite educator. I was always so excited in history when we had to do a research writing assignment.
    Now, I help current learners achieve the grades that have always come easily to me. It is my way of giving back to students because I understand the obstacles they must overcome to graduate.

  • Hello everyone, it’s Nannie here!
    I work as an academic writer and have created this content with the intent of changing your life for the better. I started honing my writing talent in high school. I learned that my fellow students needed writing help—and they were willing to pay for it. The money was enough to help pay my tuition for my first semester of college.
    Ever since college, I have continued to work as an academic writer. I was hired by a writing service based in the United Kingdom. Since then, the dissertations that I have written have been sold around Europe and the United States.
    In my line of work, I have become accustomed to hearing, “Nannie, can you help me meet my writing assignment deadline?” I know that I can save their time.
