My girlfriend at the time Monica, a friend and myself gelling at Venice Beach, California. Its difficult moving to California. I have lived in many different states. California how ever was somewhere that I found myself lost in for probably the first 18 months living there as it is very different from where I grew up in Long Island, New York. Vacationing in California is not the same feeling as living there is. As on vacation you feel comfortable observing it all as so many people are unique in there own way and self expression is quite accepted and not frowned as being self centered. So moving there I felt as though I wasnt living there and a part of it. Instead I always felt I was observing it and looking at it from a stand point of myself and what California is. That awkward period of my life helped me to discover myself in a way and I never knew as I only saw myself as my family dictated myself to me as what they expected me to be. When I gradually let go of the suitcase I had been carrying of who I thought I was and became what I wanted to be I finally felt at home in California as I felt I was California. I became the thing I observed and no longer felt separate from it but one with it.
