It’s not a forever “goodbye” to Los Angeles, but a goodbye to a special era in my life. Almost 9 years ago (so close to 10), I moved to LA to pursue my passion of working in the creative space. I was scared but mostly excited for whatever life had in store for me. Even though everything felt unpredictable & foreign, I felt like there was this calling for me to be here. Fast forward to now, I’d wake up to the familiar sight of the sun greeting me in the morning. The foreign shops & restaurants have become my go-to places. My past co-workers have become life long friends. My clubbing friends are now my co-founders & best friends. My community became my chosen family. LA truly became my home. As much as I’m sad to close this chapter of my life, I’m beyond thankful for the the city & it’s people, places & things that have shaped me to become the woman I am today.

“Life lately” Last time we chatted about New York, I announced I was moving. Now, it’s been a few weeks in a new city and to be quite frank, the first week was tough. Last weekend, was the first time, I felt grateful to be here. Before that, it was just a lot to process emotionally. Ray & I hit the ground running upon landing in JFK & we’ve been going ever since then. From all the tearful goodbyes in Cali, unexpected personal events, adjusting to living with a partner, to dealing with changes- I share the update with the move in the latest episode of No Dumb Questions with Mel.
As a first time cross-country mover, I was the most nervous about the actual “moving” part. I never used a professional moving service before (my “moving service” was just multiple trips in my car when living in LA). After reading reviews & getting recommendations from friends, we decided to go with @roadwaymoving. It was easily one of the best decisions for this move(will def use again)! Thanks to @roadwaymoving for easing our transition with their incredible service. From efficient loading to friendly faces, they made our move a breeze. Here’s to new beginnings! 🥂
