Today I decided to try and see if there was other people out there that feel the way i do about Los Angeles. My hope was that by reading what these people had to say it would put alot of the things i’m dealing with in perspective, like frame the issues i had so that they didnt seem as big in the scope of things. Too bad after reading them it put me another step in the wrong direction. The most interesting article I read was the following:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-ali-binazir/is-los-angeles-the-toughe_b_379298.html
This article was framed from the context of dating, but i noticed alot of overlap on the topic in the realm of making friends. I currently have no interest in dating because i feel like it’d give me a reason to stay here, but not a good one. But even in meeting people here i’ve found that the kids i meet are either as the article describes, shallow, or their so starry eyed by Hollywood and the entertainment industry in LA that they are blinded by all the bullshit going on. For those kids i truly feel sorry because they’re the ones that fall the hardest in this city. Usually as soon as they realize that there’s a reason not everyone in LA lives in the hollywood hills, and that if you wanna survive here you put up with alot of shit.
Not sure this was one of my better ideas, but it wasnt a total loss as i came to an interesting conclusion about where im at in my life. Everyone in Los Angeles has a “If it wasnt for ______ i wouldnt be in LA” situation. I’m just trying to figure out if I want to fill in the blank.
