wahoo! road trip is a' comin! let me just tell you how excited i am! best friend is flying in on saturday, getting my car washed (which is highly unusual for me), tasty treats will be bought, playlists are being made- it's all happening. it. is. all. happening.
so, although having a month off from work is slightly financially devastating....it is also awesome. i think i'm going to do a week and a half in utah- which i cannot be more excited about. i have a some truly wonderful friends that i have been missing a lot, so it will be good to see all of them. i have some favorite restaurants that i can't wait for and i have a whole lot of shoes, clothes, etc in storage that i can't wait to get my hands on.
but here's the thing: i've been thinking a lot lately about salt lake. it's hard for me to figure out if i'm romanticizing. cause i sure love to do that. i feel like i am a slightly different version of myself in the different places i have lived and sometimes i really miss the person that i was in salt lake. i think. sometimes i really miss how laid back it is. i miss how friendly it is. i miss how beautiful it is. but really, so much happened to me in the three years i lived there. there was so much discovery, almost like an unveiling and in a lot of ways i'm still learning about myself. a huge, huge part of it is, i left california to go back to school and become a therapist. and i'm not a therapist. and i can't tell if that is okay or not. although this is slightly irrational, i feel like i can only be a therapist in utah. i'm licensed there. i'm not here.
so i'm going to go back to salt lake for a visit. i'm going to red iguana and takashi (a couple times), i'm going to see some friends, i'm going to rediscover my wardrobe and i'm going to think about whether or not i need to live in salt lake again.

love you! stay in la. xoxo
I'm hoping we get to see each other, puh-lease! I've never been to takashi (sp?)... or we could just hit up McDonalds for coke. You know, whatev.
i already know the answer to all of those questions. or was there just one? anyway, utah misses you. and there are so many freaking crazy people here that need you. so i hope the mountains and the rolling hills and the daffodils make you decide where you should be. i CAN NOT wait to see you. love you muchos.
loved this post. love you.
miss you.
canNOT wait to see you.
call/text me :)
simon wants to snuggle with you.
Who is your best friend? I would love to take a month off of work. What's on your playlist? I think SLC is truly great and beautiful. I'm sure you'll get some sort of greater knowledge when you re-visit.
