WORLD SPINS MADLY ON
It's CHRISTMAS TIME bitches and in the spirit of the Holidays, I am posting again! I am actually enjoying this Holiday season and there seems to be a lot out of the ordinary in a good way. I know I have not posted in forever but I can explain, really... this year I feel life has been a literal rollercoaster. One of those years when LIFE HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE BUSY MAKING OTHER PLANS. I've always known John Lennon was a wise man ;)
Anyway, I moved back to LA last February with aspirations to conquer Hollywood and once I got my dream job in July - I felt like I was definitely on my way. I went to work everyday pinching myself at all of the things I was exposed to. It was truly amazing! After four years of film school, I was elated to finally be spinning in circles as an assistant in the bizz. Anyway, as much as I loved it, I became completely homesick. My health started falling apart and even though I was 23 years old and leading the exact life I wanted, I desperately craved my family, friends and my dogs back home.
Flash forward to November, I finally made it back to Texas for my friend's wedding and the thoughts that were running through my head that night - made me entirely confused. As much of a city girl as I am, I felt more at home in a barn (yes, she was married in a barn) in the country than I had in really long time. The next day, I was all packed to go to back to LA and my parents at the last minute decided that for various personal reasons, I really needed to stay. As crazy and sudden as it was, I was sick of fighting the obvious and so I caved in and cried my eyes out.
I have spent the past month in and out of the hospital, with surgeries and the whole bit but as crappy as things have been - I feel like I am finally on my way back to being blissfully happy. Life is too short for anything else. I plan on writing, designing and I even hope to get into photography. I am crossing my fingers that my film career isn't gone forever and I can secure a spot on the creative side which I realize now, is exactly where I belong.
I hope everyone is having a fabulous Holiday season. Hey, it snowed in Houston - so I believe anything is possible this Christmas. We are having a gathering at our house of an usually high number of people but I am completely looking forward to it. If you are spending this chilly Sunday roaming around LJ like me, check out my new fave crystalized_x. Okay, enough rambling from me - I promise, I will have icons for ya'll very soon. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
