It’s been a very long time since I wrote anything for tis website (see Black Widow review from 2021) and in the spirit of all the changes happening in my life, I’ve decided to jump back into it by starting an actual blog.
What has been going on in my life you ask? Great question, so much. Lets start with why I left LA.
LA became a very constricting place for me. I couldn’t really afford to eat, I never went out and I hated my job. I was becoming more and more depressed and it felt like I was stuck in an Indiana Jones style bobby trap with no way to miraculously escape. The walls were closing in and I was claustrophobic. I had been thinking about leaving since July 2023 when I visited New York City for the first time. But nothing had really been planned or solid. Then I went to London for most of August and the combination of being with my best friend and being somewhere that wasn’t LA sold me. So I decided to move home for a year. I will be getting my own place (hopefully by November) and will be documenting having my first place and trying to show off that Minnesota is actually pretty cool.
Yesterday I turned 26 and didn’t do anything of note which may have been the first time in my life I didn’t do anything crazy. I always tend to make big life changes around my birthday as I view that as the start of the next year for me. So my focus for this next year of my life is building an actual routine I can feel comfortable living with. I also wan to work on building and strengthening my friendships. I view my life like a sitcom, and in the grand scheme I am in my first season of Friends. This is when I want to build those friendships and figure myself out.
I’ll leave you with a reminder that you can change your mind and decide that something is not for you. Even if you really thought it was.
Have fun, don’t get lost!
