Going Places

Hello My Smart is Sexy Loves,

I’ve missed you! I’ve been so busy moving recently but I haven’t forgotten about you! I finally got a chance to ride the metro that the city of Los Angeles worked so hard to build and I have to say I definitely liked it! It’s funny though, as an Angeleno our public transportation has always been like looking for your soulmate in vegas and our traffic like that friend that just doesn’t get the hint, that we approach something like the metro in a relatively excited way (whaaaaaat I don’t have to drive?!).  My friends and I took the metro to downtown for dinner where it can be a pain to park so it made the ride so carefree! On the ride over the topic in conversation became about our generation, the millennials — our desire to see more, do more, and become more I believe has defined our generation. But where does that put us? Are we super selfies or super accomplishers or superheroes in our own ways….perhaps all, perhaps none. Damn. One thing is true, success drives every human being to keep going. Beg to differ, comment below– I would love to hear your thoughts!

Kansas is a wild place….I’m talking wild, with gorillas, flamingos, hippos, turtles and chiggers….yup, grass has chiggers…if you don’t know what that is then I’m willing to bet $75 you’re not from Kansas!

I bet you didn’t know Kansas was the sunflower state?! 

Don’t worry, neither did I 🙂

Kansas is a place I would have never predicted packing my bags and flying to. Being an Angeleno, my only reference to Kansas, sadly I know, is the Wizard of Oz. Wait, wait, before the Kansas natives kill me for saying that I would love to share with you how I no longer have those stereotypes! I mean, don’t even tryyyy and tell me you have no stereotypes for Los Angeles….see we’re even then 😉

There you are, sitting with a moment of peace, while everything is changing all the time, and we keep wanting to pin it down, rewind it, fix it, hold it tight, No?
