Two months into my adventures in LaLa land my beautiful car decides that it wants to break ... A cracked something or other ... It cost as much as my rent to get it fixed. And even though I'm struggling to gather the money for my rent, let alone pay for my car to get fixed, I still seem to be smiling.
I have no idea why, but I feel like LA is having an opposite effect on me. Instead of feeling cynical and negative and depressed and discouraged and all these other things that I was told I would feel by moving here, I honestly feel very optimistic and positive. Most of all I feel hopeful. And maybe I feel this way because I've only been here for two months ... But I really think that LA is what has made me even more confident in my decision to move here. Even though they've been small jobs, I'm working pretty steadily. And I know it will pick up.
LA needs me as much as I need it ... And my vision for myself will come true.
