I have often thought to myself that I should shrink and laminate my resume and carry it around like a business card. Indiana is a place where people mean it when they shake your hand and ask you how you have been. Los Angeles is the place where people kiss your check and ask you what you do for a living. Everyone competes with everyone else and no one should dare stay in on a Saturday night. Hollywood is a mentality, one that I have adapted at times and ran away from at others. To battle the vanity that comes with the city I try to stay in touch with my love of the sunshine, outdoors, good friends and everything else LA has brought me over the years. It is a city of a ups and downs, opportunities and heartbreak. I have had a blast so far in this crazy place. I am not sure if I could stay here forever, but until I leave I know I will never lack for adventure.
