OK, so Barrie is not for eveyone, let's agree on that at least!

It's been over a year since I put up this blog. I've changed so much since then. Soon after I made this blog, I moved far away. In that time, this blog has been featured on a radio station, ready by many, and received quite a few comments - both pro and against Barrie. You may have seen me come across as a very bitter person. And I was. Living in Barrie was just not the right thing for me to do and I got more and more miserable by the day. I had the choice of making the best of it, or moving away. I chose the latter. A change of scenery was the easiest way for me to start thinking positively.

I don't want to dwell on it, because I've moved on and don't want to complain anymore, but this update needs to be written. Some people have found Barrie to be the answer to their dreams. For me, it was one of my worst nightmares! It was so nice to finally leave Barrie. I can only hope my parents decide to move away too. I know they're not totally in love with the city, but they don't dislike it as much as I do. We aren't even from Barrie, so there's no reason to stay.

So to all who took offence to my opinions, Peace. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. This is way more of a controversial subject than I could have ever imagined. In the past year, I've learned to relax and not be so hateful. The Secret (recommended to me by friends and strangers alike) was just the beginning. I knew all that stuff before, but Barrie was not the right environment for me to act upon it. Even my writing style has changed over the past year. I don't take back anything I said about Barrie, and I'm glad I got that opportunity to vent. But, now that I've said it, I've moved on and won't complain about Barrie. Life is too short to quibble about such things.

Let's just say that Barrie is not for everyone. Over the past year, people have posted both positive and negative comments about the city. I'm leaving this blog up so that others may read it. For some, it may reinforce their love of the city, or make them want to move to Barrie, or reconsider it. For others, it may be a feeling of relief to know that there are others who share their dislike of the city. You can't force someone to like a place.

Peace. (wherever you may be living, be it in Barrie or elsewhere)! :)
