L.A. to LA

Well, here I have landed for about two weeks in the magical city of New Orleans. The first thing that I must say is this city wants to help you. Who knows where other places like this exist, but pure people reside here, and some pretty damn good food. Granted my liver has taken quite the beating, I am apart of something greater here. My life and those amongst me are keeping this city breathing, keeping the diastolic and systolic functions going. The heartbeat of this city is music, the humidity, the coffee, the $1 Miller High Life's at Molly's, on and on I could go. Throughout my travels in life-these 21 years- I have not once lived somewhere longer than a week. For the first time today I actually did something touristy-went to a museum-and before that had never thought about adventuring on to something such as this. Immediately when I got here I became a citizen of the town because there is nothing but open arms here. This launching pad of a city has made me realize that people actually do LIVE there lives rather than working to live. Regardless of making rent or having the best clothes, the people here look you in the eye and see that there is more to your soul than the Tiffany necklace hanging along your chest. Simplicity and love reside here, but behind it is the secret of the pain and suffering that made it the city it is today. I am more than grateful to be welcomed by her, Ms. NOLA.
