lately, i have been doing a lot of thinking about where i should go in life, because i am graduating so soon. i know that i do NOT want to stay in los angeles and i am open to the idea of leaving california altogether. i LOVE california and i am a californian, but theres a big world out there waiting for me to get to know it. leaving california does not mean i will never return. it just means in time, i will come back if i am still surviving.

i have been in seattle for three days now and i just...love it. i feel like this is a place i could get used to and never get tired of. its been my dream to live on a lake and seattle basically is surrounded by a lake. i dont like the sun and its cloudy here most of the time. i love trees and theres more than plenty here. i love the city, but i hate being overwhelmed by the sheer size of a city. seattle is just the right size. i love the nature, i love to hike, i love animals, i love the rain and i love the seasons. the housing is pretty affordable in seattle. i can get a luxurious apartment for the same price in southern california in a run-down and beat-up neighborhood. i love it that there are many bridges and ferries and so forth. in addition, seattle is very green, very environment friendly and thats just up my avenue.

i came here to see the place, but i definitely did NOT expect to fall in love with it. i might end up here someday. :) i dont know how i am going to feel when i go back to los angeles. how i feel after i return will tell me how i really feel.
