Every so often I look through my drafts to see the posts I once had a thought of writing. I just came across one I had started a year ago as I was approaching my one year anniversary of moving to Los Angeles. I clearly forgot to finish and post the rest of it, but suddenly I find another year has gone by and I have some time to reflect.
The last two years have been without a doubt the most transformative, challenging, and enjoyable times of my life (but that’s what your 20s are for right?), and as I go back through my memories and photos I’m reminded of so many experiences that I would never have imagined I’d be living.
I’ve met so many beautiful friends that have turned into family and am figuring out more who I am everyday.
I live each day with gratitude, and I look forward each day to seeing what else this chapter of my story brings.
To the little girl from a small town in Michigan that always dreamed of moving to California—you really did it.
The following images are some of my favorite moments from the last two years.
Here’s to you, California ♡
