Two years, two months, six days. It felt like only yesterday, July 23rd, 2006 when a New York friend told me he predicted I stay in LA for only six months. And then I proved him wrong.
I have discovered a formula for the length in which people stay in this city. Los Angeles has an equation all to itself. Career + Need to Get Away = Los Angeles + Time Spent.
My career, while it's taken some detours and beatings but for the better of course, is off to a new start. Therefore my career mode is strong. I'd like to define the Need to Get Away from the desire to explore the new and unknown, to running away from problems, to pursuing that dream career, or perhaps being forced to leave. I feel like I have only just begun exploring myself and the people around me. While running away from problems seems like an easy way out, it is extremely satisfying to attack those problems and make the necessary changes in order to have a clearer view and appreciation. Los Angeles has me for some time now. I'm still here.
