At this very moment, there are nearly 7 billion lives being led today.
That is 7 billion lifestyles, thoughts, breaths, decisions, plans, mistakes, and hearts.
It is impossible to keep track of every second of every life and every death, but we can try.
toronto, canada.
The Church and Wellesley neighborhood is one of Canada’s most vibrant communities. Because of it's diverse atmosphere, the neighborhood draws in a fair share of activity and has a growing number of residents. As with any community, it is both a struggle and a pleasure to call it home. Though, the general message, one that you'll pick up on almost instantly, is no matter where you're from, or how you happened upon Church and Wellesley, you're welcomed. It's just that behavior, the indiscriminate kindness and underlying sense of safety, that has drew in so many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender residents. Needless to say, it's a welcomed place to just be yourself, despite sexuality, and never have to worry about what the next person has to say because, nine times out of ten, they're going through the exact same thing.
However, life isn't all rainbows, even though you may mistake it as so, considering the amount of rainbow flags, with pride, hanging up around town. There are some residents who are struggling to come to terms with who they are, and their life directions, in various ways, some which can go unnoticed without a closer look like, a person struggling with the loss of a lover after an emotionally defeating battle with a well-known illness, or a mother of a child turned down for parental rights, just because they aren't biologically related. There's even a person, one out of an overwhelming million, coming to terms with gender identity and how their outward appearance just doesn't seem to match.
Church and Wellesley is where people go to start anew and to forget old troubles. It is a community where pride is of the utmost importance, no matter what, who, or where you are. It is a community where hope springs eternal and dreams never die.
