Moving to LA has definitely changed my perspective a little. When I came over, it was kind of a culture shock. I grew up on the beach. It’s just a way of life. You don’t seek out that lifestyle; it’s just day-to-day. You have to seek out the chill people here. That was the biggest difference I noticed. You find different groups of people that live in different areas. I’ve started to absolutely adore living here. I’ve got a green card now, so I plan on living here for a while.
