being happily content.

January 18th, 2010

Scott and I have lived in Los Angeles for about a year and a half now. We moved from the east coast for Scott to pursue his career in film and to start our new life together. Settling here has been a hard concept to swallow. Such a huge city that can feel so lonely sometimes can make you miss home rather badly. So many days I used to think that it would be so easy if we just packed up and moved back to Vermont. I was unfortunately against LA for quite some time. The smog, the traffic, the constant parking violations, etc. My friends would ask how it was and I would be rather negative about the city I lived in and I knew that was bad for my soul…and that scared me. How could I possibly make my dreams come true in surroundings that made me so unhappy?

We just had some of our best friends visiting for the week and I seriously fell in love with my city. I couldn’t help but get giddy when showing them Santa Monica, Malibu, Hollywood, Silverlake and even the valley. I got introduced to a whole new side of culture this past week and it made me feel even more alive. While I know I don’t want to live here forever…I know that this is where I need to be right now and I own up to that.My soul is rejuvenated and my dreams are bigger than ever before. My eyes are opened wide and my feet are in the deep end..I’m giving you another chance…Los Angeles.. I’m Yours.

The image above was taken at The Getty Museum. I can’t even describe how intoxicating and new this view was to me. This is when I knew that it was okay to be living in Los Angeles and my exit plan could be put on hold for a few more years.
