Need a change in scenery 3 months ago

I just got back from a trip out west – the time I spent in LA was the highlight of my trip.

I’ve been feeling for some time that I need to make some changes in my life. I’m content and I have a lot going for me, but I don’t feel like I’m living up to my potential. I remember what it was like in school – having the opportunity of a new life on the horizon. It seemed to provide me with a lot of motivation to work harder and do better. I need that again.

The challenge is going to be finding a decent job. I have a career and don’t want to give that up. Although finding something temporary like waiting tables would be an option, I’m getting a little too old for that life again.

My other challenge is doing it in a manner that my boyfriend can be happy with too. We haven’t had a serious talk about this yet, but I know he’s open to moving out west as well.



Moving to LA 5 months ago

I’m moving to LA in less than a month with no money saved up. I’m sure I sound crazy but I have to move out and I can’t find anywhere to live in VA plus I’m just done with it all. I really wish I had someone to travel with who is going through the same thing. If you want to move too, let’s meet somewhere and do this together! We can keep each other motivated.

I re-evaluate… I may have been too hard on LA. It is a really unique place, but I don’t think I really “got it” the first year I lived there. Coming from the east coast, it took me a while to understand the culture. I have now lived in SoCal for two years and get the culture a lot more. I think it is very unique and interesting. There’s a lot to explore, but I still think you can see all of it in a few months and then move on, unless you are really into LA culture. I’m moving to the Bay Area this fall and am excited.

so booked my ticket to LA. I decided to go check it out for a few days before I live there…to see with my own eyes what areas are good/bad. I’ll be there in about a month, so excited!

My dream since I was young 9 months ago

I’ve always felt drawn to California. I’m a musician, an arts lover and I know that’s where my people are. Its my dream to go there. Even if I end up hating LA…just going there would be the realization of a dream in itself!
