The Land of Filters and Facades
We’ve all seen the glossy pictures: palm trees, perfect bodies, and that elusive California glow. It’s like everyone in LA is a professional model, living in a perpetual photoshoot. But behind the scenes, I’m pretty sure most people are just trying to find a decent parking spot without getting rear-ended.
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, LA has its charm. The weather is undeniably fantastic. You can eat avocado toast without freezing to death. And there’s a surprising amount of good Mexican food. But let’s talk about the other side of the coin, shall we?
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
The Reality Check
Traffic: It’s not just bad, it’s a form of torture. You could watch an entire season of your favorite show in the time it takes to get from one side of the city to the other.Housing Costs: If you’re not a trust fund baby or a major movie star, good luck finding a place to live that doesn’t feel like a sardine can.Celeb Sightings: Sure, seeing a famous person is cool the first time. But after the 100th time, it’s like, “Can you please just order your own coffee?”
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.
