As much as i wanted to come back home and visit my friends and my family, the longer i stay here the more i want to go back. Before coming back to Washington when people asked me where i’m from I never considered Los Angeles to be home, now that’s the only place I want to call home. Being back with my friends from high school made me realize how good I have it. I may be struggling with money and doing homework 90 percent of the time but I love what I’m doing, I’m having an amazing time and I’m actually doing something with my life. A lot of my friends moved out of the valley for college, most stayed in Washington but a few of us left for California, Arizona and the East Coast. I feel like no one has changed they are still stuck in the drink all day party all night mind set that I quickly grew out of. Don’t get me wrong I go out a lot in LA but I’d much rather be at an event, or a nice dinner or a chill bar listening to music and meeting new people then going out to the frats and house parties night after night like the rest of my former classmates do.
Growing up people always told me I wouldn’t be able to last very long in the real world, I’d move home months after leaving and I’d stay in the valley just as everyone here does. I started doubting myself but after living in Los Angeles for a short 3 months I’ve realized I can make it. It’s going to be rough and i’m going to break down but I’ve never been so happy before. I’ve never felt like I was meant to do something before I came to Los Angeles. I’m so happy with my decision to move and I’m excited for what this city has in store for me.
