So I'm finally back on my own once again. It's been a little over 2 1/2 years since I touched down in LA and it's been a great learning experience. It feels like I've been out here longer, but I know I still have a lot to learn, a lot to see and a lot to live for.
I lived by myself my senior year of college and it was great. I had my own lair to do whatever I wanted to do. I could wake up to music, I could workout wherever, I could wash clothes whenever. At times it got lonely not having another person in your area but school was like my first home so it didn't make it that bad.
I kind of have the same feeling in my current apartment. I work so much that this is really more of sleeping quarters for me than a place to live. On a serious note I feel a little bit more alienated here then back at home in Indiana. Back at home I had close friends I could call up at anytime and link up with in a matter of minutes. Out here I still have a social struggle, part of that problem is work the other part is me. I still haven't branched out as much I would like to but, I am working on it.
I will admit where I was two years ago (socially) is a heck of a lot better now, but I just need to push myself to go out more. Going out more doesn't mean I have to spend the mulla all the time either. I keep telling myself that, but I look at gas prices, hahaha and they're not helping. All jokes a side I realize that I'm not in school anymore and that meeting people won't be as easy as it was by going to a class and finding people who share the same interest or going to a campus event that was going on while I was there.
So as I enjoy my new place making it my own, I will have to try to socialize more, with no roommates to help, but on my own.
