A relocated Newfoundlander currently living in Toronto and working for a national children's charity.
As I spend my days in "the Big Smoke" (Toronto), I look east, fondly remembering my childhood on "the Rock" (Newfoundland). While being proud of my culture and background, I'm trying to establish myself as an individual and toss aside the stereotypes I encounter... yet I am not ashamed to call myself a Newfie.
It seems I am stuck between a rock and a hard place...
