Last Day in LA

I can't believe the day has really come. It's a bittersweet feeling. I am excited and eager for what lies ahead but I am also so sad to leave what has been a wonderful, life changing time for me. I have said a lot of goodbyes in the last few weeks, but for some reason, the reality of it all hasn't hit me yet.
I've had such a great past few weeks, spending time with my friends, going to Santa Barbara, Disneyland, having parties, going out to dinner, all of it has been wonderful and allows me to appreciate even more what I have already known about my fantastic friends and family.
Today is my last day at Comedy Central and tonight will be my last dinner in LA with my friends. Everytime I have said goodbye these last few weeks, I've been able to handle it, because I knew I still had time to run into my friends again. When I start to realize that eventually these goodbyes are going to be the last ones, I have to push it out of my mind and just think about where I'm going and how thrilling it's going to be.
Los Angeles has been an important milestone in my life. I first came here chasing after a dream to work in the film industry. It was a hard move for me, but I knew why I was moving here and I was starry-eyed at the possibilities it represented. Things didn't work out here exactly as I had planned, but I think they worked out better than I ever could have imagined. My life was completely changed by the people I met and they inspired me to dream bigger. Now while I'm preparing to move to Wales, I'm reminded of when I made the move from Sacramento. It wasn't any easy decision but it is one I'm glad I made. Plans have changed in the last four years and I'm not as certain about what I want my future to be as I was in 2002, but now I am more open to the possibilities, which is why I am able to leave behind what I have here and pursue something I never thought I would do.
I remind myself why I'm going to Wales and look back at the path I took to get to this point. I'm about to embark on a new season in my life and I know that without the support of my friends and family I probably wouldn't even be going. I feel so blessed that I'm able to live out one of my dreams and I can't wait to see where this adventure leads.
Goodbye for now LA. I'll miss the people who call you home, but not your traffic, smog, or crowded everything.

Also, if anyone knows anyone who would be interested in a 2001 Silver VW New Beetle, please let me know. I love my little car, but I'm not going to love making payments on it while I'm away. :)
