IN MY MIND I AM MILES AWAY.
10:14:00 PM
I've always had this wild vision of one day living in LA and losing myself in the city. Not until this last trip did I realize that I wouldn't only be losing myself in the city; I would also probably be losing myself to the city. By that, I mean losing myself to the culture. It all seemed so appealing then. The lights and the glitz and glam lifestyle with celebrities at every corner. I couldn't seem to walk a street without seeing an overly/extremely cosmetically enhanced face.
Contrary to that - I've had way too many good nights in the city. Late night drives, getting lost in the hidden hills and winding paths; the narrrow roads. Trying to crash house parties, visiting haunted motels and the sleepless nights. Missing all the signs that read 'EXIT' and ending up on Mulholland.
As I once said, Los Angeles is geographically so beautiful, but so socially distorted. It's really love-hate for me with LA. Their normalcy is not mine.
It'll remain the city of dreams. But not mine, for now at least.
