L'undone

So, I am the kind of person who lives abroad now. I am also the kind of person who blogs, I guess. this is a real journey of self-discovery. The main thing I have discovered about myself while living in the UK is that my voice is about 10 x too loud for any given situation. A few friends have called me out on this before, but it has never mattered until I moved outside of North America, and realized that the Loud American stereotype is a real thing. Interestingly, I have chosen to combat this by compulsively mentioning my Canadian background within ear shot of Real British People, I suppose in some kind of attempt to excuse myself. “Well, that’s not so different from the Toronto subway map!” I'll exclaim. “Oh no, it’s raining again, eh? EHHHH?” and so on and so forth. A really smart person would probably just quiet down, instead of loudly confirming their outsider status while trying to ingratiate themselves to their sovereign nation, but here we are. 

And where we are is LONDON.
