HELLO LA 🦋✨

So if you’ve been following along you’ve noticed that I am no longer in Texas. I moved to California. It has been a wild and interesting journey moving and living with other creatives. I auditioned for a music program out here that advertised to help you get into the entertainment industry and also provide housing. I was too excited to quit my full time job and drive to my new home in Cali.

Due to COVID there hasn’t been as many fun activities to get into or guest speakers with connections to the industry. I was super bummed. There were a few virtual zoom sessions but it wasn’t the same as an in person speaker. Usually the zoom sessions were at weird times where I was either working or I was in the middle of something so I couldn’t attend. I am still determined to make it happen out here.

I have been to the Santa Monica beach twice now and it is absolutely beautiful. California is just beautiful. I just love seeing these palm trees. I am doing my best to stay positive in all things because I believe that I was meant to be here even now when things are shut down. Ive had time now to focus on my music. I am in the studio almost every day now recording and writing.

The not so fun parts about living here is that there is only street parking where I am so my first two weeks here my car was broken into and my computer desk was stolen out of my car. Two weeks later someone repeatedly through a brick into my windshield and then left the brick there so I was out another $300. And then a couple days ago my car was impounded because some rich family didn’t like that my car fender was an inch into their driveway so they called the police. So I had to pay over $300 to get my car back. I pretty much cried the whole day but it is a new day and I am still alive and doing what I can to make my dreams come true.

I faced some heartbreak. There was a situations where friends that were supposed to be there for me weren’t. A platonic relationship that seemed to be transitioning to something more didn’t happen and I was left feeling like I was being played. And now I’m seeing him playing other girls and I just think to myself that this is all some life lesson.

I am a scorpio by the way so I am very analytical about most things and I want to understand deep and complex matters. I see the good in people but I am also wary of them and look for the truth to come out. I do my best to not getting too emotionally attached to anyone so fast but I am an emotional sign so it doesn’t always work. When I fall sometimes I fall hard but I also bounce back fast.

I know in the future when I am living the life I have always wanted all these problems that I had won’t even affect me as they are right now. They will be funny stories and life lessons to pass on to others. I am not going anywhere. It has been my dream since I was a kid to move to California and I am not letting anything or anyone stop me from continuing on this path.

Stay tuned.

Xo,

Nina.
