and I just want to say I've grown and learned alot within only 5 months of being in California.

 

 

California really has a lot to offer, but things still take time here too 

 

even though everyone says its "fast paced" here or its a fast paced state

 

it also has its moments and things still take time here too

 

 

I'm seeing both the sides.

 

I have seen so much, you wouldn't believe 

 

and I just hope I get on my own feet here very soon.

 

I really, really want my own place

 

 

I'm very grateful now for a lot of things that I see others who don't here, there's so many in the world who complain about school

 

but then I don't know if they realize how lucky it actually it is to have school

since I learned some can't even afford it or some can't go because they're unable to 

I've really learned that not everything is black and white, I mean I already knew it but

 

 

the honest realest truth

 

Everyones storys are different, we all struggle for different reasons

 

I use to really love it when people say "We're all the same" but since I've been in the situtations that I've been in and the things I've seen

 

you know what, I actually hate that saying

the only thing that makes us the same is that we're all "people" but

our stories...our history..what makes you unique, it doesn't make us the same

 

and that's just my personal opinion on that phrase now because a lot of people like to put that towards people they know nothing about 

when you very well are not here for the same reason, everyones different

and it's a good thing too or the world would be very boring

Don't judge anyone by the way they look, dress, talk because you don't know what they are going through.

 

I've truly learned this case out here and I am thankful for it too.
