Joy had overtaken my boredom as I realized we were taking a vacation to Canada. Once we finished packing, we started our twenty hour journey to Canada. After

A day filled with happiness turning into a day of fear. A fear of heights plus being three-hundred plus feet in the air with complete

shallow, verging on parched, wells. Before last summer, my well of experiences was leaning towards the latter, but spending time with my family and friends at Niagara Falls, Six Flags, and a Twenty One Pilots concert has deepened my spring considerably.
