people love to hate her, but i feel soooo lucky to be able to live somewhere i’ve always dreamed of, with new wonderful friends and so much to explore 🥹
i was born here but haven’t lived here since i was a few months, before moving back for university. i’ve always wanted to live in an urban area with a lot of young, college aged people, and this is the perfect place for that. there are always festivals, thrift pop ups, art gallery openings, historical buildings and events to go to which i love. i enjoy meeting strange people who are part of various scenes, going to the goth club and spending time with my interesting friends. the public transportation is also great, since i don’t have a car and don’t plan on getting one either.
there is however a very large homeless issue that has been going on for years, and a housing crisis, and even my favourite cheap sandwich place has had to jack up their prices, but what can you do.
i plan on staying here for university and possibly moving away for post-grad, but this place will hold a very special place in my heart forever
hell yeah i feel alive every day my best friend lives 10 minutes away i have a rooftop with the view of LA and every song sounds better in your bestie’s car!!
these are the different fruits i’ve had on vacation:
• star apple (pictured) - inside is like a sweet jell-o
• egg fruit - sweet like a yam and texture of hard boiled egg yolk
• longan - similar to lychee, inside reminds me of a grape
• chicu sapote - kind of looks like a round pear and tastes like brown sugar and cinnamon!!!!
