live somewhere new for a month
a change of scenery 23 months ago

living in la my whole life is routine and tiring
i want to be in a different place
breathe in different smells
see a different landscape when i wake up in the morning
instead of hot and busy la
where there’s so much smog and pollution you can’t even see buildings in the distance

i want to go to a place where the grass is greener and the water bluer
where the people are friendlier and less occupied
where life is simple and happy
the way it was way back when

being somewhere new would hopefully invigorate me and give me hope, when i’d have to come back to la
i want to be somewhere else for ATLEAST a month

*must do this before graduating

I live in LA, too, so I definitely know the feeling you express. My favorite getaway, even for a random weekend here and there, is Vancouver, British Columbia. It’s only a 2.5 or 3-hour flight out of LAX and about $300 roundtrip, and you can stay cheaply at a hostel. Vancouver is a a very diverse, progressive, and cosmopolitan city but it’s also very close to mountains and forests. Also, Canadians are in general much friendlier than Americans. If it were feasible, I’d drop everything and move there right this second!

wow, your response was very surprising
lol i saw “1 comment” and had no idea who it could be

i kiinda have to get a job before i can afford something like that
reason for the note of doing it before graduation

that kind of sucks

I hated being a broke student (well, being a student I liked; it’s the broke part I hated). I guess in the meantime you’re stuck in the prison that is LA… but you can still make the most of it… I bet there’s lots in and around LA you still haven’t explored or thought to explore that you could appreciate and find the beauty in… You don’t necessarily need to be in a new place to be invigorated or find hope. Attitude has a lot to do with it I think…
