How I did it: I made up my mind in July I was going to move. Talked with my friend decided to do it "by winter" (originally from north east). Decided on cross counrty, next thing i knew her fam member had a plane ticket back after flying out with her, so did my other friend. Couldn't back out, by December I was in LA.

If you feel something, do it. If you know what i'm talking about....then...well...you know :)

Lessons & tips: It made me see that you have to try. The things that hold us back the most of our fears. If you feel something, do it. It changed my life, and no matter how rocky the road is i know what im fighting for.

If you're a girl, think smart.

This move to me is to find my independence...and...to find me. I want happiness and now know it starts with me. you only live once and i'd like to be smiling through a lot of it... :)
