There
are 3,904,657 people in Los Angeles, give or take a few. That’s over three
million lives, three million people with hopes and dreams and families, that’s
three million people who have a story to tell. Every time I look out my bedroom
window I still can’t believe what I’m seeing. I just can’t seem to wrap my mind
around the idea that I am getting the opportunity to live in a city that has
seen so many successes, so many failures. Is it scary? Absolutely terrifying.
And exciting. And mind blowing. And every other feeling you could possibly
think of. I’ve experienced so many emotions this past week and most have them
have been nerves. Nervous for school, for work, for my future. Each time a new
emotion takes over and I start to doubt myself I know I just have to take a
moment. To breathe and regroup because there is no time for butterflies,
there’s no time for me to question if I’m good enough or strong enough to make
my dreams come true. So that’s what I do, I pick myself back up. Whether it be
looking up quotes or taking a drive or simply sitting on my balcony looking at
all the buildings that surround me. I remind myself that I am now part of the
3,904,657 people. I have dreams and goals and hopes for the future, I have a
story to tell. This is my chance, maybe my only chance, to fight. To work hard
and suck it up. Because nothing comes easy in life and when you get an
opportunity to get everything you’ve ever wanted, you dive in head first. So, I
guess it’s time to sink or swim.
