for my own good, i'm leaving LA. and its empty promises. how many people have thought these thoughts, said these words, made these mistakes? LA has at least taught me this: being guarded and untrusting is not a bad thing. opening up to people is not always a good idea. being AVAILABLE and KIND will only bite you in the ass.
becuase the people here are callus and uncomprehensive. people in LA, the directionless that wonder, they do you more harm. they suck you dry. they are your friend. until someone or something better comes along. do you have money or famous friends, or a killer wardrobe? no? goodbye.
i just can't wait to be in minneapolis. i can't wait to drink GOOD coffee, and read books from bookstores with funny languages and u of m students with chunky glasses shelving books that are too hard to find. i can't wait to sleep under piles and piles of blankets next to the person i love, someone who will not take advantage of me.
how wasteful the last 2 years have been. how utterly unamusing. how dissapointing.
in june im going to say vows to a boy with dark hair and a huge heart under a star filled sky and dozens of chinese lanterns. im going to hold his hand and never let him go in front of the people who i actually care about and who care about me right back.
goodbye LA. goodbye sad lonesomes. thank god i will not deteriorate like you, 27 staring blankly into a computer screen, redused to witty comments onscreen and failed friendships.
