I Met Someone…

I met someone.. and no, it’s not a guy. I met a girl. We’re now friends.

I Met Someone…

You know that feeling you feel when you meet a person for the first time and for some reason there is a part of you that knows you will become friends? I’ve had that feeling in the past when meeting some of my closest friends, but a few weeks ago I met a girl, and for some reason we instantly clicked.

We had so much in common it almost felt surreal!

I met someone

As a half Canadian, half Italian, I’ve always had a hard time finding a place where I really belonged.

I never felt completely one or the other. I was always “the Canadian” in Italy and “the Italian” in Canada.

Now I think I’ve finally found a balance, or maybe I just don’t care about what others say or think anymore.

I felt a jolt of excitement when I met this girl who is so similar to me. The only difference is that she just moved to Canada a few months ago while I came for college eight years ago!

I think that when you meet someone who can relate to you, to the struggles you face or faced and has the same background as you, there is a mix of sentiments that surface. Nostalgia for the past, excitement for meeting someone who you can relate to so much and empathy. I felt and understand what she is going through, trying to find her place in a foreign country and I immediately felt connected to her. I remember how difficult it was at first, trying to make it on my own and being far from my parents and friends.

All I can say is that it gets better! Time and hard work make for the best combination and I really hope she gets to love the life she’s creating for herself.

Welcome

Ciao!

My name is Erika, I’m 29 years old, half Canadian and half Italian, I am proud of being both and I never introduce myself as only one or the other. I’m based in Toronto, Canada, but you’ll see me travelling all over the world. On this blog I’m going to share my own, personal style, my favourite beauty products and everything and anything I like or just feel like writing about. I hope you’ll enjoy your stay on my blog!

I have a healthy (because I say so) / unhealthy ob I have a healthy (because I say so) / unhealthy obsession with scones! I have been looking and making scones for so long and I don’t think I’ll ever stop because scones are the best! Especially topped with clotted cream and jam 😍 all this to let you know I found really good ones in Toronto at @kittenandthebear and I recommend you go try them if you’re as passionate about scones as I am! Now… where’s my tea? 🤔…. ❤️ enjoy!

I spent the last 18 days with my family and friend I spent the last 18 days with my family and friends. I visited my favourite cities, laughed with some of my favourite people and enjoyed my beloved spring, sunny days. 
I left 18 days ago, doubtful and uncertain of the future and I leave soon full of hope. Now it’s time to go. But I go knowing that I will be back soon.
I also need to go check on my cat.
