One place for life and ... |
So I was in LA for two weeks. I haven't traveled a lot in my life so I was excited for the trip. I grabbed my dog (Blake) and sat on a plane for 6 hours with JetBlue (my preferred way to fly). I added some photographs that I think encapsulate how much "fun" LA is but in reality we were not impressed. My fiancé was sent there for work, and being that we are connected at the hip I decided to tag along. I knew I wanted to see the hot spots (Rodeo, Walk of Fame etc) but in the meantime I thought maybe ill find my new home , like everyone else apparently has right? I watch a lot of Youtube, and every other day one of them is moving to LA and raving about it. I realize now its very much mob mentality because while I get it, I wasn't ready to leave my life behind and start anew. The homeless, the underdeveloped areas, the clear lack of direction for style and uniqueness all were things that straight up turned me off. However, what I just said is almost unfair because maybe that is LA in a nutshell, maybe the out in the open randomness of LA is why people love it. I mean there are little nooks that are quite special, the food is perfect, drinks are perfect... but is that enough? I mean things close so early that finding a place to hide for the night is basically impossible. While they exist (a place called Scopa, my fave) you can find that anywhere. You go to Manhattan and you know that its meant to look that way. Even Malibu felt right, but guess what you better be loaded. While thats normal why the hype? Why the influx of people insisting that you move to LA the second you get the chance? Cant just be the weather... is it? Let me know what you think makes LA so special ... or not I would go back to hit up the places that I didn't get a chance to see, but don't see me living there any time soon. I hope to travel again soon, Maybe Coachella??? Until then... See you in the Soup, AshleyChristina LIFE + instagram = ashchristina_
