Escape From LA

I want to thank myself for actually doing what I wanted to do. I moved to Cali for a fresh start, which made me realize much about myself. Growing and learning every day can come with some challenges. I was feeling more lonely rather than alone. I was trapped with a lot of my thoughts. I realized that I need a city with more mobility to do things (It keeps me from being inside my head all the time). I spent too much time alone even tho I had friends nearby, but it wasn't the same, and that was enough for me. I could write a story about how LA isn't for me, but that's too personal. I came here to see what I could do on my own. Boy, did I do a lot. My pop-up, 1st studio apartment, and landing a job at Louboutin that I know I wouldn't have ever gotten in New York. I'm forever grateful for everything; this was a trial and error. I thank all the people I encountered who made LA worth staying; you all made the three years worth it. Also, it was refreshing to spend time with my cousin, who is my puzzle piece. Now that this chapter is over, I can start fresh.

I'll be Bringing a new person back home. I'm always so hard on myself with anything; this made me realize I can do anything. This was a blessing, but it's time for me to go. I want to feel free from the same daily routine happening here—very robotic and not enough life. Something about being here didn't seem suitable for a city full of sunshine. I'm returning to a space where my heart belongs and will be full of life. I'm returning to a City that never sleeps, and this feels so right.
