I’m back.
This past weekend, I took the 5.5 hour drive down to Southern California to go to Harry Potter World at Universal Studios.
I guess I also went to visit my sister.
LA is a cool place, and there are a lot of exciting things to do there, but I don’t really wanna live there. Most of the people I’ve met from LA are incredibly shallow and superficial, and I ain’t about that life.
I mean, don’t get it twisted, I like me some Nike’s too, but shit, the world doesn’t revolve around looks.
*Robert Freeman voice*: All the money I spent on them damn Nike’s? You better just do it.
The Boondocks is one of my top 5 favorite shows, I can’t help the references.
And not to mention that damn traffic in LA. Like, no.
But it is nice to get out of The Bay every so often, and even if it’s a mini vacation to LA, it’s refreshing to get away from the stresses of being home every so often. It has been my dream ever since I was little to travel around the world. I’ve been blessed in life to have gone to many different places around the country, and have also had the opportunity to go outside the country. These opportunities left an urge to travel imprinted in my soul. Since 2008, money has been tight in the family, and with three kids in college, my parents have neither the time, nor money, to go on extravagant trips to the Caribbean or India as we did growing up.
So I want to take the monetary burden on myself, and travel when I can. I don’t have the time or money right now, considering I’m still taking a class and am definitely in no financial position to be traveling, but in the near future, I want to be able to go to a place I’ve never been. Embarking on the solo drive to LA has reignited my travel flame, and I want it to continue to burn.
That is why I haven’t made a post in the past couple days. I’ve been enjoying my time away from home, and wasn’t on my computer the whole weekend.
And I enjoyed every minute of it.
But I think I’m ready to get back on this grind.
