Good Morning LA...

Yesterday I rushed between two cities- fresh from a 4 pitcher of beer night with friends and very little sleep. The nervousness was replaced with anticipation and a glass of anxiety. I was now in the final moments of moving from Orange County to Los Angeles. A move I'll admit I contemplated many times in my life- but never thought it would happen. As fate has it though- here I am, tired as all hell and in the passenger side of a Mini Cooper zipping up to my new zip code.

Most of my life has been carefully and strategically packed into two large trunks I purchased one weekend in Pasadena- now they are fully functional and not simple aesthetics to my old dwelling. I only chose what I needed and the rest is in storage, quite a feet for me if anyone has ever sen my closet. 

Im sharing an apartment for now with a friend of mine till I can afford something on my own- so needless to say space is an issue. I feel like Im back in college in a dorm- but older and wiser. My friend and I get along on so many levels,  so Its nice to have her here. It will make acclimating to the city easier and more enjoyable. 

My first night here,  I was overwhelmed with so many feelings. A mixture of excitement, sadness and anticipation. I cant wait to start my new job and get into the groove of things. But there is a feeling of sadness that lingers for the people I will miss, the places I grew accustomed to and the "comfort" I had with the predictability. But- thats why Im here. The box that I stood in, no longer could hold my dreams  and I am positive that life has a bigger plan for me. So although the fear of starting something new is present- the drive to be a bigger, better person - "someone" - is a stronger feeling. 

Last night a symphony of new city sounds rocked me to sleep. It was an orchestra of alley cats, cars, and what seemed like an amazing party across the street, they all were in complete harmony. A serenade that welcomed me to the city. 

I woke up this morning to a familiar sound of birds chirping outside and a kind layer of suburbia, similar to my old place. As I rubbed my eyes and crawled out of bed, reality sunk In and breathed in a deep breath of calm and determination. 

I am here for a reason and I will once again prove to the world what I am made of. 

Good morning LA, It's great to be here.
