I've been planning this Europe backpacking trip for so long, I'm really excited and happy it's finally happening. I will miss some aspects of LA, though. Most particularly, my grandma. I think I've spent more time with her this trip than in the entirety of the rest of my life combined. She's been super generous, what with letting me disrupt her life for so many months and all. And it's truly been great getting to spend so much time with her.
I also loved the fact that I got to be in a movie. I can't wait until it comes out so I can try to freeze-frame it and get a screen capture of me. It was one of the most fun experiences of my life.
Living on my boat was especially fun, even though I never got a chance to take it sailing. Plus there's Disneyland, the beautiful beaches, and all the fun opportunities.
I really love my life in Maui, but Maui certainly has its drawbacks. Particularly so many fewer jobs and opportunities to do different things. It's very isolated, and mostly rural. Which suits me more, I think. Though I will miss the convenience of the big city. And just the convenience of the mainland. If I was forced to live on the mainland, in a big city, Los Angeles might very well be the place I'd choose. Great weather, nice beaches, everything you could possibly want. The biggest problems with LA are all the people, the traffic, and the lack of public transport. I would say, though, that I certainly had the right idea--if I were to move back here, I'd move into a boat again. That was the cheapest rent by far--and, only steps from the beach.
If I ever find myself sick of Hawaii with no job and nothing to do, maybe I'll come back and pursue an actual acting career. I think that would be fun. And while I may never be a star, I think I could at the very least make enough money with background acting to live comfortably off.
Anyway, all in all, I had a great time here. But I look with anticipation toward my future.
