Duality
I have been living in Los Angeles for 1 year already.
My life is so radically different that Helsinki and Paris feel an eternity away; yet everytime I drive on PCH, Wilshire bvld, or downtown; I am reminded I have been here 5 minutes. The excitement of novelty is present at every crossing yet I feel so at home in L.A.
Against all odds, this city is so familiar, and like every familiar things, it feels good. It make me feel good. It makes me happy. Being aware of this reality, I keep wondering how long can it last ? How many months/years in L.A. do I have in me before spoiling this sensation ? Bets are open !
