I am sitting in one of my favourite spots in the city. I always find myself lured downtown when I need to just escape and recollect my thoughts.

The free view from the top of The Forks parkade is my hiding spot. I can always count on coming up here to find some piece and quiet where I can just park and look out over the city and centre myself.

I have found my life being shaken by some major negative external forces. It is definitely a challenge that I will be able to overcome in time. Unfortunately, emotions have gotten in the way and I am caught up struggling to maintain a positive view on my situation.

I don’t want to post any major details, but I am thankful for all the wonderful people in my life that are there to help encourage me to grow and find the right answers to life’s obstacles which I am tackling. For now, I am going to just lay back in my car and listen to some music as I watch the sunset over downtown Winnipeg.

Where is your favourite place to go and think?
