I hail from the city of angels, though tbh, none of these people come close to being compared to angels, myself included, but I love it here nonetheless. The beach, sunset, smog is to die for, as well as the food and the one singular escape room I've been to. A downside is that while everyone loves to share their opinion here in LA, go for freedom of speech, they don't really want to hear yours if it contrasts theirs, and anything that slightly offends them is blasphemy on the highest level and so will not be tolerated, even if it's right. You will never be looked at the same again.
I am a college student, whose major changes every five seconds, from linguistics, to mathematics, to biochemistry (current landing spot for now). I honestly love math, as insane as it sounds, but I'm just really good at it, I just didn't admit it during high school bc everyone would've thought I was nuts.
Political philosophy is honestly my favorite class that I have taken, because it taught me different perspectives of action, even if I didn't agree and opened my eyes to new ways of thinking and possibilities.
Also Jesus. I "found" Jesus. He's actually pretty awesome, but everyone's a hipster and doesn't want to hear it because everyone else liked it first and they've just gotten tired of hearing about it. "It's outdated", that's the same description as vintage, but that's coming back too. "He can't possibly be good for us. He's old, and wise, and says I can't do what I want even though I have no idea what I'm doing." Which is honestly part of life, and is totally for everyone, but also so is free will and freedom of choice.
Honestly, I'm just a small town introvert that lives in an extroverted city with too many personal problems and not enough outlets for that but amen, I'm still here, surviving and thriving.
