When I first moved to LA…

  • People honked less.
  • I didn’t realize the best food was in a strip mall.
  • I very quickly learnd to stop at striped pedestrian crosswalks.
  • I could wear whatever I wanted without public commentary. This is still true. No one cares about you — only themselves. I like it that way.
  • I was told no one walks or bikes but I found that to be false.
  • I didn’t think I would miss rain as much as I do.
  • I couldn’t understand why anyone would exercise in a gym. I still don’t.
