How to move to santa monica
It made me
fresh 
"i found an apartment. i moved there. nothing better than salt air."
How I did it: i walked around until i found a building i wanted to live in, close to the beach. they happened to have a vacancy. i paid a little more than i should have, but it was worth it. since then, i've moved again because i was sick of apartment living. i couldn't be happier with my house. it has a yard!! outdoor spaces are the best.
Lessons & tips: live where you're happy!

I live in the UK, in a rough area in the south. Its not a great place. A few months I went to California and it really opened my mind. We went to LA, Santa Monica and San Diego but Santa Monica really blew my mind. I fell in love with it instantly.

but I was very glad to move out of Santa Monica.
the crime was unbelievable, and the apartment where I lived maybe had been cursed. There was someone who had their head blown off next door. My best friend there didn’t tell me she was an alcoholic until after we went drinking for St Patrick’s Day. Another girl there finally convinced me she was basically waaay off when she told me about horseback riding with Ronald Reagan and helping plan foreign policy. Her lovers were all named the towns they lived in and I could not tell if they were male or female, not that I cared. My really good friend moved in and later her son and ex-husband drowned. The girl who worked in the convenience store right next to the building had her head blown off too. The guy upstairs tried to move into my apartment because he thought his bed was broken.
This was plain old Santa Monica a few blocks from the beach.
Creating the lifestyle I want
2 years ago
I’m not rich and I don’t want a million $ mansion but I do know what kind things I want to be surrounded by and since my job forces me to live in LA (I’m trying to be more thankful for this) I need to live where I’m happy. SM it is. Crossing my fingers and curbing my shopping so I can make this work.

is wonderful. is marvelous. living in SM is fantastic. a little depressing b/c it is quite expensive, and doubtful that i can stay here for too long, but i am loving every second of it.
