california dreamin

sorta a weird rec but as a born and bread easter coast city cad and self identified (although widely disputed) new englander, i feel like i was always opposed to the west coast bc i felt like it was for posers and rich people but idk something flipped in my brain recently. this isn’t even a rec atp but i think that for a while la was the it city and so i never wanted to go bc nyc was for real people (wtv that means) and now that nyc is the cool city (at least on certain digital spaces) ive become more atuned to things that i dismissed in the past. like people are try hards and social climbers and a little performativly high maintenance. anyway my point is is that i spent the last week in socal and found it very refreshing! i don’t think socal is flawless or devoid of the same issues the city has but people feel a little more free to be ambitious. like socal really bodied with their whole city of dreams thing. k enough being honest on the internet for now.

LA

Being in LA is like living in constant dystopia. It’s a multitude of pockets of both good and bad. My experience is a love/hate relationship, but you learn so much about yourself just existing in this space. It’s not home for me, but I’m glad to have stopped by.

Actually being from lA

"People in LA suck".. the people u speak of are not native LA gals... I feel like influencer culture has literally taken over it sucks ): It's such a different place than it used to be.

Make disgusting food that sucks

Make chicken that dries out your entire body ! Make soup that sits in your stomach in the worst way possible ! Screw up pasta so badly that the Italian government declares it a hate crime ! Then next time you make these things make them slightly less awful ! I learn by doing and fucking up and doing again, and as long as something is gained from a disaster, it is not a disaster in vain.
