I came to Los Angeles seeking opportunities to stay away from Georgia. I actually got my first “real job” as a teacher in a charter school from joining TFA. Not only did I find out that LA is not all its cracked-up to be, I realized how much I took my home in Atlanta for granted. I am now in the process of quitting my job and moving back home. Not only am I homesick but I am excited to come back to the community I cam from and make big things happen there. We can create our own environments and thats exactly what I intend to do. The choice is yours but LA is expensive and full of fake people. There are great benefits like space, and great weather, weed, etc but you have to question what you give up for it. In my case I learned to appreciate what I have already and that’s the reason why I say it was definately worth it. Experience is the best teacher for sure. 12 months ago

Ok. It’s been a minute since I even looked at my 43 things. And by minute, I mean maybe three years… Anyway, LA is where I need to be for my career as a costume designer. Hoping to go in April, 2012 for my birthday for a look-see. 15 months ago

To combat the lack of work in Ohio, a move to Los Angeles is the smartest thing to do. More opportunities for work and training, better vibe, closer to agents and unions, and more artists to share creativity with. 17 months ago

I’m taking a trip down to L.A. in September to kind of scope out the area, see where I might want to get an apartment, that sort of thing. I’m excited to get my first whiff of freedom, since I’m traveling alone and will be on my own for a good five days. I’m so excited to move to that city, it’s not even freaking funny. 2 years ago
