watching this video gave me the chills. despite only have been in los angeles for four years, nearly every major building was recognizable. every skyscraper in the sad, downtown skyline; every traffic congested highway; every shot from the looming Hollywood hills. los angeles was where i first tasted independence & never looked back. so many wonderful memories are imbedded in every nook and cranny of this city… every damn day my heart aches to go home. to revisit the familiarities i grew accustomed to and the friends who became family, but alas, that is the complacency i sought so desperately to escape. one day, just not now.
