After completing her coursework for her bachelor's degree, Kell was looking for a change of scenery. Jobs in her chosen field of communications were hard to come by and things on the home front felt unsettled. So left Montreal for a few months, traveling to San Diego with her dear friends Caro and Martin to live, work, and adventure. She loved the experience and had a wonderful time. While she was there she worked for a catering company, trained for her lifeguarding competitions, and dated a boy she met from England.
All in all, it was a pretty big adventure for Kell!
But then it was time to come home.
And reality came crashing down. Everything Kell had left behind in Montreal was still exactly how she left. Jobs in her field still weren't plentiful and things on the home front were not as she had imagined. Good friends were moving into different stages of life (either in jobs, relationships, or school). Readjusting to life in her hometown was not easy--I can vividly remember talking to Kell during this time period about how she hoped things would change when she was away and how disappointing she was upon her return.
Eventually, it all settled down and Kell was back into the swing of things. But I definitely think she would have related to article posted in Thought Catalog.
