**created with the intention to encourage myself to travel more, and as always, for future karlie and for future you<3
I visited the land of tim horton and hockey this past weekend for the first time (although I had been to montreal)
here are some things I loved in toronto:
-going somewhere new with 2 of my best friends :)))
-walking around a new city by myself with headphones
-feist!!!!!! my friend shelby said this show would blow my mind and she was right. we saw her at massey hall downtown (this was also the reason we went to toronto)
-the anndore house, a lovely boutique contemporary hotel off yonge street downtown. there is nothing like vibing in a hotel lobby. it had a coffee shop and a BARBER shop.
-drawing this after the feist show in the restaurant constantine eating a continental breakfast. this is one of my favorite feist lyrics: “they all know about me” gives me chills.
-kensington market
-meeting ryan’s friends (gabby, frannie, and kanchana!!!!)
-the birds in the pond sitting in the sun
-lake ontario beach winter art installments
-the basket outside a restaurant that said “take if you need” stacked deep with fruits and veggies
-korean bbq. god bless .
here are some things I read/wrote/listened to in toronto:
-I read
’s memoir “you could make this place beautiful” and it’s just so good. if you take nothing else from this little newsletter, please take this recommendation <3-lol this is from my notes app
MUSIC:
-austin by dasha. I love this song with my soul.
-mudroom by tiny habits ***perfect song*****
-I don’t wanna dance by charlotte lawrence
-habit by kimberly townsend (I’m currently making the music video for this!!!!!!)
not in toronto but albums released in proximity:
-bleachers self titled
-eternal sunshine by ariana grande
hotel beds spent
thinking about
words never said.
did you mean it,
when you told me
it was all in my head?
to come home;
to be known;
I loved you, toronto!!!
do something nice for yourself this weekend<3
all my love,
karlie
