Faking Reality- Jian

JC'S POV

A few months ago....

This is it. L.A. The city of dreams and aspirations. I can't believe I am finally here. I'm finally being able to express who I am as a person and I am finally able to find out who I really am. Will I become a famous actor? Will I become rich? Will I have a hot chick beside me who I love with my whole heart? I wonder what will happen here in L.A, the city of dreams......

"BEEP. BEEP"

Stupid alarm. I had you going there didn't I? You really thought that I had just moved to L.A and that I had the dreams and aspirations to become a famous actor who finds himself a hot girl and finds out who he really is. Well sorry to burst your bubble and idea but unfortunately reality for me is much more dim and grim than my stupid and trivial dream to live in L.A. My real reality consisted of me going to work at a small diner in which I worked between six to eight hours of my day before I would meet up with my "mates" and get high or drunk before my curfew. What you can probably piece from this is that I basically have no direction in my life and that I am stuck in Texas where I currently live and reside. I will honestly tell you that it is really my dream to move and live in L.A but for me at the moment, I have no reason to move there. And I know what you're most likely thinking, "You don't need direction. You don't need a reason. Move! Something will come up" but honestly for someone like me, that's incredibly unlikely. So for the moment, I am stuck in a small town in Texas working a mundane job in a diner and then getting high or drunk consecutively every single night. It's not where I honestly want my life to be but at the moment, it's the best I can honestly do. And I suppose with life, the best is all you can do no matter how stupid and mundane it may actually be.
