So, where do we go from here?
I lived and worked in the city of Toronto for over twenty years. The city was never kind to me in the sense that it was easy to live there. I struggled like half the population struggles with earning enough money to stay afloat. Getting ahead required a level of insanity that often included taking more than one job. This isn't a new thing but it is something that has been met with increasing difficulty for several years, escalating even more during this Pandemic. Simply put, people can't afford to live there anymore. So what do you do? I'm not a quitter but the world is changing on a level that is difficult to measure. I don't mean in a simple way, where the times are "a-changing", and you either choose to change or you choose to remain, left to stew in your own stagnant life juices. There is no choice here. This isn't just about surviving until you figure something better out. We can't just sit and wait for things to get back to normal. I'm not sure that is even going to be painted with a brush that we even fully grasp at this point. What we need to do is find a way to Sur-thrive.
