Just remember … a good boyfriend doesn’t necessarily make a good husband. Make your decision with bun boy within two years. If he’s not the one who will be a great parent to your kids, move on. You don’t have as much time as you think.

The boyfriend seems like a nice guy but also seems way too chill to be the father. That he may be too uninvolved as a father and that a lot of parenting would fall onto Rose. I get that his relaxed lifestyle may be calming to Rose now. But when they are parents, that may irritate her. Hopefully I'm wrong. Maybe they are the balance that they both need. But personally, I think they would both be better off with people who are more like-minded.

​@@bradleymaravalli2851 I get where you're coming from, and this seems to be The prevalent American view. However, remember he's French, and they have a very different lifestyle over there (and in Europe and the rest of the world for that matter). We're used to always being busy, always chasing something, etc, because that's what it takes to make it in America. The rest of the world has better work/life balance. And the kicker is they're doing a better job at raising kids than we are. Consider for example that him prioritizing having time over chasing $$$ gives him more time to spend with the kids. I don't think we can tell from these vids alone what kind of parent he'll be, but I'm confident Rose will pick up on those as their relationship progresses towards that. Also, OP os correct, Rose, you do not have an much time as you think. Unless you know for sure this is it and y'all already in family planning mode, that process brings its own can of worms that could make or break the relationship, and God forbid this is not it, you will start feeling the time crunch. It seems things are moving in the right direction you, but I wouldn't get too comfortable and assume time is on your side...

@@verb0ze Are you suggesting that Rose's lifestyle and personality is "wrong" and that her boyfriend's lifestyle is "right"? I am merely looking at their approach to life as contradictory when it comes to instill values and principles into another person. Neither person is right or wrong. It's just that there will certainly be a butting of heads when it comes to raising another human being. Again, hopefully their dynamics do indeed work out.

I hope this dude works out. It’s one thing to make decisions based on finance and an entirely different thing to make decisions based on a dude. It’s clear that you’re at a place where having a very serious relationship and eventually having kids is the main thing you want right now and if he doesn’t have the same wants or he’s not clear on what he wants, he won’t work. Dating someone below your pay grade is about as risky as making a decision to live abroad buying and not renting when there’s so many risks involved of getting taken advantage of by the partner. And if you are building your “tribe” with people through him and not individuals you’ve built organically and separately, those people you met through him will always be more on his side and have his back and keep his secrets. Put yourself first and your money second and always observe the behavior of those around you and how they intend to treat both you and your money.

In the video, Rose shares three major life updates: she is moving from Mexico City to LA, she is writing a book about personal finance, and she is struggling with imposter syndrome. Rose decided to move to LA because her boyfriend lives there and she wants to be in a place where she can root down for the long term. She previously thought Mexico City would be her long-term home, but her plans changed when she met her boyfriend. Rose says that writing a book is the hardest thing she has ever done because of imposter syndrome. She feels like she is qualified to write the book because it will help people but still doubts herself.

My parents always told me to "follow the money" and live where I could earn the most.

Don’t listen to the haters in the comments. Live life the way you want! I love the honesty in this video and demonstrating the ability to change your mind about stuff. Sometimes things need to be viewed in other lenses than strictly financially

The biggest problem with having a tribe is that everyone in the group eventually gets pulled away - by their career, spouse, kids, relatives, desire for adventure/travel, etc., etc. I was in the military for 20 years and was always moving around - or my friends were always moving around. When I got out and started a second career at age 38, my new friends were 100 percent focused on launching businesses, starting families, raising kids, etc. Now I'm in my 50s and still a "lone wolf."

That guy is going to clean Rose out. You're at that age where you're desperate and lonely. Your finance journey didn't lead you to where you thought you were going to go and now you're abandoning your plans to 'follow your heart', but really you're getting trapped. Just make sure he signs a prenup and don't buy him expensive gifts or loan money. Please don't quit youtube when the sh*t hits the fan. Good luck.

I lived in San Diego for most of my life and LA for four years. Its crazy to live in LA, if your not there to be part of certain scene.Unless its the film community, or real estate or owning a business, I wouldn't live there. San Diego has everything LA has, beaches, community and the best paying jobs and its way more family oriented than LA. LA is a place you get in and then get out,if you don't for some reason make it, in whatever field your in. Too much crime, traffic, homelessness and the beaches are dangerous in many ways. Never again. UTC/Lajolla area has everything you want and has a huge Asian community. Most of my friends in the Mira Mesa and UTC area where Korean and Filipino. Also this life change is mostly centered around your new romantic partner. Your plans always change once your in a relationship.

Super excited for you! Keep us updated on the next phase of your journey. Even free spirits sometimes get tired of moving around and would like to take root somewhere. It's great that you have been able to explore a lot before thinking of settling down. Personally, I need to be close to the ocean. I can compromise on other factors but being near the ocean is a non negotiable.

If Dave Ramsey saw this he would say what are you doing.

I've been watching your videos for years!. You are a source of inspiration and a vault of personal finance knowledge. It's obvious that you are at a cross roads on how you want to spend your future. There are things you want to leave behind and things you want to take with you in the next chapter of your life. It sounds like you are ready to not only turn the page on your nomadic days, but to actually write a new book (literally and metaphorically) on the next phase of your life. I became F.I. in my 50s. I recall specific cross roads where I had to make difficult decisions. Looking back I'm so glad that I took the difficult, riskier roads rather than to stay in my comfort zone. I know you'll make the right decisions because having listened to you all this time, you have the tendency to step up and face the challenges that take you to the next level 🐯🐎

Rose you are so grounded and real and that’s why we trust you! Wishing you the best! I’m loving the newsletter btw, highly recommend everyone signing up for it 💌

Rose I relate so much to this! Before meeting my partner I was focused on being more 'digital nomad' and keeping spending as low as possible, but then craved roots and connection and community. We're so excited to be buying in our home country next to the coast, and really building community! We are always growing and changes, and so our goals and mindsets do too!

Life is an adventure and it sounds like you've got plenty ahead of you! Congrats on having the courage to see where this next chapter takes you! Definitely hear that clash between choosing a place to live based on maximizing your finances versus choosing a place to live because you actually want to live there or have access to its benefits. Point number 1 really speaks to me. Having control of your money doesn't mean you are beholden to it, it should be about giving you the option to live the life you want. So with these changing life circumstances, I take it you're trying to bridge the gap between being "financially free" as a single van life adventurer, and now the greater and more complex things you want out of life now that aren't as bottomline frugal? Definitely sounds like a much more challenging personal-financial calculus to resolve, not to mention just a higher bar to clear simply by the numbers. I bet I'll have to make more personal decisions for myself and my family in the future. Yes to point Number 2, Financial Freedom is a moving target. I don't know how long I'll live where I am currently, for now it feels perfect, but I can easily imagine feeling very different in the future and making my own major life shift.

35... if you want your own kids, there's very little time. Yes, there's IVF, but it's not cheap. My wife had kids at 32 and 36. We needed IVF for that 2nd kid. I hope it works out with this guy.

Thank you for being honest and sharing your life lessons. It is true - they say that "life is journey". At the age of 50, I am still trying to figure out what life is. Wish you the best of luck in your next LA adventure.

Good luck, Rose! I moved abroad (for a man) almost 27 years ago. It hasn't always been easy, and it's crazy expensive to live here, but I'm happy. Thanks for your comments about imposter syndrome. I've been experiencing that lately. I went back to school in Jan 2023. I'm much older than my classmates and felt like I didn't belong. I'm doing quite well in my studies and feeling more confident.

I’m nervous for you girl. You are excellent with money, but men seem to be your kryptonite. You’ve helped so many people and we want the best for you. Emotions cloud our judgement no matter how confident we believe that they are not. I hope you have wise friends who know you and will tell you the truth whether they see relationships for you being good or bad. But, I’m happy for you, and I hope it works out! 😊

we love ramble-y videos 🥰

You're so relatable Rose. ❤ I'm 35 also, with 2 yr old twins. Definitely consider family and community when deciding on where I want to live, but also I realized after having kids, education is the biggest factor by far. In NYC, it's expensive, right? Well, not if you have preschoolers. Free 3k and 4k (esp when you have 2) more than make up the cost difference compared to other places! And if your kid needs a specific type of education, the availability/accessibility of that also dictates where you go. And re imposter syndrome: I needed to hear that today. I think that is the main reason I am procrastinating on my online course ...

Outside of His will we will always be searching for satisfaction, peace, and happiness.

“I’m just 35” Gotta stop and think about that for a second. I know things happen and life isn’t perfect.. but 35 is easily half your lifetime! If you’re thinking go spend the other half just chasing beaches and music concerts.. there’s a good chance it won’t go very well. I’m 35 and still haven’t figured out everything, but can’t sit here and go.. I’m just 35 and my next move should be based on which city has “concerts”!

Rose, I’m a huge fan of your channel. I hope one day, you have the relationships and a community that makes you feel fulfilled. What financial freedom is to me is having great relationships with people I care about. Not having to worry about money makes that goal a lot more feasible. It’s like what that old song said, “having money ain’t everything, not having it is.”

This is one of the biggest reasons I love your channel, these videos. They’re so raw and they give me the sense of actually knowing the person I’m listening to. Nothing wrong with the path you’ve taken. Honestly it just sounds like you over-corrected a bit after you found yourself in so much debt. Now it seems like you’re discovering the happy medium. Good luck to you and thank you for all that you do. You’ll never know what a difference you’ve made in my life.

Your videos inspired me to take a more proactive role in my finances, and I love that you explain things in such a direct and easy to understand way. I really appreciate how vulnerable you are, it takes a lot of courage to be so open and honest. I really resonate with what you’re going through, especially just the fact that I always feel like life is just a constant process of discovering new parts of yourself and that we are all just trying to figure it out.

We are living so much longer with so many more opportunities and ways to live life than any other time before. You gotta just make a decision and live it out!

I absolutely loved this video!! It's so important to understand that life is ever-evolving and I think something that many people don't think about because they view it as starting from the bottom instead of thinking about what actually makes them happy. I moved from Los Angeles with my boyfriend and our 3 cats to Arizona because there was no way we could afford to live there. Now we are here in Arizona I miss the beach so much!! I don't think I would want to live in the same area we were in but we have definitely considered moving back to California at some point or possibly Florida. Life is so much more than how much money you can save; it's about your happiness and quality of life as well. Now that I will have my bachelor’s degree in just a few short weeks I think it'll be possible to do that once I have started doing some investing and we have a bigger savings fund :) I really enjoy watching your videos and I can't wait to see your new adventure in LA with your partner!!

Rose, I hope he's worth it and that you guys would find a happy-ever-after. I have faith that financially, you will find ways to become financially free, even in LA. Best of luck to you, Rose!

It's a sign of intelligence to be contemplative and to be willing to change your mind, especially on something you previously stood firm on. We're always in flux, life is always ebbing and flowing. Trusts that you'll find your way and download the answers you need 🕊

Be careful. Your partner could actually isolate you even more! You already have lots of friends where you are. He could easily move from LA again as he's not from there!!!

Wherever your heart takes you is the right place!

Thank you, California is awesome and LA is a cool city. Success is a moving target for sure. I totally agree real estate can be stressful and the hype about "owning" is overrated. Its hard to know the things you will miss about your environment, like the fish that doesn't appreciate the water... That being said I wish there were more livable, walk-able small cities in the US with less social problems like crazy rent and crime.

Sounds like you are the person with a mindset that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. However, you are who you are and a change of location will not change that.

I love these videos of yours where you share your LIFE! You are so relatable and great to learn from!! I’ve been living in LA for the last 7 years and it’s been awesome but good luck with the lifestyle change hehe

Thanks for the life update Rose. Sorry it isn't working out as long as you thought in Mexico City. We have a similar life event, we bought a home and invested in a large scale remodel and update. We have only lived here 3 years, but made an offer on another home. With the way interest rates the way they are, we will be losing money on the remodel - but they only make so many waterfront homes near the city - so we are going for it. It might not work out with the other home, but life happens and you have to roll with it. Luckily, we knew where we wanted to settle down and when to start a family when we were in our early 20's. For us, the stability of knowing where we wanted to be in our 20's has allowed us to really maximize our work+life balance and start our family as soon as we wanted. We realized very early on, money is just grease for the gears... just because it only takes a little grease for some gears... it doesn't mean that those gears are worth it :) That's why US West Coast and East Coast cities are very expensive... supply and demand. I look forward to more updates from you and hope all works out. Good luck! Edit: Also, the living near family/community is the reason we still reside in the same city we started in - just in a much much better neighborhood than when we were raised poor. Wanting stability and to raise a family, we couldn't fathom moving away from our family - for the reasons you stated. Again, we are very lucky that our immigrant family have mostly moved to the same area - we only have to travel once a year to see some extended family... it is great. Our financial net worth target used to be $1M, we get closer to $5M every day, our goal now is $15M+ before retirement (we think when we are ~60). Agree with you about rental property. It is hard (harder than passive income) and the average person cannot do it, but the risk/work is indicative of the return as well. We have rental property locally - due to close distance and the very high demand in our city for homes (rental or owning). We rent at the lower end of the market, so we always have the best renters to choose from and never have a vacancy longer than turnover cleaning. We have had to do general updates and maintenance, but never an issue with renters nor crazy issues with our investments. Home appreciation in our area is ~9% a year over the past decade and past 2 decades. Also, one of the first rules is to not have a pool or a hot tub or another extraordinary maintenance item at your rental properties. I get that it might be harder in Cali, but a weird tree house, a super expensive fence, a greenbelt you have to maintain, a pool, etc. all are not ideal for rentals.

The people love you Rose and want to protect you, want you to protect yourself. That energy is created by you, never abandon your core. Thanks for being you. You are a risk taker, respect.

Appreciate the transparency and vulnerability!

I'm 59 and still trying to figure it out. It's a journey and no matter how hard you try and plan, NOTHING EVER GOES AS PLANNED!! ❤

Thanks Rose, I appreciate your openness and authenticity and passion. I wish you all the best in your new adventure. Your book will be that much better for what you have learned these past few years. Other people’s comments about your relationship are completely out of line - you are living your life and now you have found a partner to share it all with. In your videos with him you both look so incredibly happy. Buena suerte.

You’re not wrong. You’re alive. You have different goals now than you did 10 years ago. You will have different goals as you continue to age. Good luck building the life you want - to you and everyone. Be flexible and kind to yourself. Also, there’s a balance here, but I’d rather do something I want to do and fail than not try it at all. Those what if’s can be a killer as the sun sets.

I am happy you mentioned that you are not letting money decide where you want to live. I grew up with the philosophy of "Location, location, location!" I live in NYC and it is my forever state. So I make sure I make the money so I can live the rest of my life here. I have friends and family who moved to more affordable states but they come here to visit whenever they can and wish they could live here. Some mention they can't come back unless they make changes to their live style like you. Financial freedom is personal not a location. Also rental property has ghost cost, mentally and financially and again a personal journey. I am happy you realizing life is fluent and you can adopt and change your goals in life.

Good luck on your new life in LA! I hope you get to create everything you're dreaming of 😊💜

I'm old enough to be your father and still trying to figure it out. I guess that is nature of life.

Hi Rose, I just stepped upon your channel today. Thank you for sharing your experience! First of all, you are so brave to share this with the public, your genuine personality and upmost kindness are very appealing throughout the video. AI summary can not compete with that! Secondly, welcome to LA! I think it is a great move for either yourself or your relationship. LA has so much to offer and I’m sure you will have a great life here. I can recommend some great restaurants and spots to visit! Lastly, 35 is old if you don’t have a family or any kids. It is more important to feel comfortable with the age, and make the best choices along the way. And I think you are doing a great job ❤

Hey, Rose we just want to see you happy. I've been living in the same city all my life. I'm 56 years old. Both my parents come from large families so I have a lot of relatives and friends here. I don't know what that feels like to not know where I want to live. Good luck, you're smart and healthy, keep reaching for the stars.

Thank you for being so transparent with us! So happy to know you're coming to my area. Despite LA being expensive, I love it here. Ironically, I was thinking I needed to move abroad to find community because as you said, people in the US (or maybe you said Ca) have their own individuality (can't remember verbatim). I am in my mid 50's and still feel alone at times. I'm excited to watch your journey and see how you build community and lasting friendships. I've always worked corporate jobs and have found friendships at work, but it's definitely not the same as finding your tribe.

Thanks for sharing your journey Rose! Looking forward to hearing about your new life in LA and wherever life takes you :)

Born in LA left in 1980 would never go back. Just not the lifestyle or environment for me i like green, nature, temperate climate etc. however living near the beach is not LA. If you could afford the coast that is great however congestion due to beach goers is horrendous.

Love the honesty...thanks for being so transparent. Good on you for following your heart and great job getting clarity of what you truly want in this season of life

OK, no one asked, but please consider your fertility if you think you'll want kids. I had my first at 35 and was totally overwhelmed with parenthood, then had my second at 39. Big gap. I wanted a third, but marriage problems prevented that. My point is, time slips by very quickly. Plenty of people I knew when having kids, same age as me, were having serious fertility problems. Yes, there are options like IVF, but it all can take a lot of time. Not to say you'll face any of this, but I think it's important to factor age into a "maybe kids" scenario. Best of luck with it all! And the quote is: "Life is what happens when you're making *other* plans." I think it was John Lennon who said that...

Rose, you can do it, just surround yourself with positive people in LA, I wish you all the best, in life and love, remember the book will be amazing because you are 😊

🎉🎉Hi Rose!!! So happy to hear you moving on to the next chapter of your life. I really appreciate hearing you share your story. Continue to do what you do and I look forward to seeing and hearing more about your next life chapters. Sending you endless positive energy and thoughts. Congrats again!🎉🎉

I was living in Seattle and like you, was in a long distance relationship for over a year before moving to San Francisco last year. I was saving in an income tax-free state and then found myself in a higher cost of living area and overall higher cost state. I quickly realized that my investment goals increased substantially. Taxes do suck, but you know what? If things don't work out you will thrive being in a badass city like LA and you will create your own community there. Kudos and good luck :)

Thank you!

I resonate big with the Community Sentiment. I have been moving around a lot and I'm 32. I do get tired of starting my social circle over from Zero all the time. Much more meaningful relationships take time to build and cultivate and with a crew its currently my dream right now to have a strong crew and do group stuff were we have each other's backs and figure out this thing called life together. Hardest part is finding a home base lol but def agreed don't let money dictate where we live. We should dictate to the money where we are wanting to live and make it work.

hey rose! this is a really great convo and i appreciate you being open about this on here. i'm 28 and feeling a lot of similar things. i moved to my current city (different region in the US) 3 years ago with my then-bf and chose to stay--i wouldn't have moved if i didn't really want to live here. it's more affordable than the coasts but taxes and other costs add up. i would like to get back to the east coast where i'm from eventually, even if it's more costly, so that i can be back in a place where i belong culturally any be surrounded by my community. what you said about making the money work around your lifestyle and desires--and that if all your decisions ride on money, then you're not financially free--really resonated with me in this moment! excited to see how your next move suits you.

Let me get this straight. She left everything in Mexico, wouldn't date any local mexico city dude. Then decides to find a white dude to date. Something is fishy here.

I feel like i relate in a certain way. I was a roving traveling musician. I craved travel and adventure. I could not imagine settling down ever. I ended up in school in NYC and ended up meeting my husband in NYC. So I got married and I still live in NYC it isnt the most convenient or affordable place but this is where my roots and relationships are now. Lol i never intended living here for so long or raising a family and having kids here! But here i am and you figure it out as you go. Thank you for sharing. Relationships and community is so important and priorities really change when you start a family. I never thought i would be in this place but we change and evolve and there is nothing wrong with that.

Rose, your rambling is gold to me! 🥰 For real… sharing your ups & downs experiences with us is priceless & invaluable, for those of us who choose to actively listen & learn. Ignore the negativity! As an older & wiser woman (btw no shame in being older, it happens every birthday duh; the acquired wisdom is the $hit), I’ve lived what you are learning… the quality of life that you truly desire has everything to do with the way you value yourself. Life is short, but wide, so live it where & how you want that’ll make yourself proud. Make enough monies to afford the needs first, which you are doing & then some 👏🏼, trust your instincts & continue the journey!!! Best wishes on your book too, another awesome achievement at your young age! 🎉❤

LA is a great place to build community, even just in the KZread creator space. I’m a trail runner and live an hour north of LA and have met hundreds of people just from that network. Good luck on the move. BTW, I recently started following your videos as I plan ahead to retirement.

So excited for your next move, Rose! Although people might think you are leaving something good behind for a relationship and a high cost of living, but money was meant to be used to make YOUR life the way you want it. Spending money in places you love is the key to having more! LA is beautiful and there is a reason why people live there even with the high cost of living. You are financial well-off if you have choices on where to go. The fact that you have choices is the best! So excited to see more!

I didn't learn to think till i was 30 and didn't get good at it till 35. Now as I approach 75 I am starting to get the hang of it. Also money is a great thing but the only true currency is time. How you invest and spend that, determines if you have a rich life.

Good luck on the next chapter in your life! I’ve learned so much from you over the years and love everything you share with us

Hi Rose! I have watched a few of your financial tips which have inspired me a lot, however this video felt very different. It made me reflect on how everyone is trying to navigate the uncertainties of life but that we are not alone. Thank you for your honesty and I’m sure you’ll have a great time wherever you move to!

Money is really more about giving us options! You have the tools you will do well wherever you land! Good luck on the journey and remember to enjoy because it goes quickly!

Rose, I would love to to watch vlogs of you updating us on your search for community and navigating this new transition in your life in general.

Wow so refreshing and big congrats! Excited to learn more about your LA life. Also -- I've always felt a bit conflicted about living in my current city which I love because it's so expensive but I have the deepest community I've ever had here and feel so rooted in that way. Maybe I should just form my financial goals around what it would mean to stay rather than assuming I'll leave...Also been in a 2 year, international, long-distance relationship and she's moving here in the fall so I FEEL YOU:) Good luck to you!

Even someone who is beautiful, smart and confident like Rose gets desperate once the clock starts ticking. And I don’t blame her for it. This is how women are built and this is a natural feeling. Ladies! Stop focusing too much on your career, freedom, etc. the best time to find your husband is in your twenties! And the best time to have kids is also twenties and early thirties.

"Live where you want, and make the money work". SAY IT AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK! As always, wishing you (and Jupiter) the best, Rose. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with those of us on our financial journey.

That is a lot of hogwash! Live in Monaco and make the money work!!!

Learning and experiencing are always good to do. We all should do more of this. Now you know residential rental property is not for you. I am in the same boat and I rather invest into REIT; less headaches, passive monthly dividends, and more liquid than physical properties. I can sell my REITs with a click of a few buttons and cash will be in my account on the next business day. Going into more stocks now is a wise thing to do, as a new bull cycle is coming. It’s time to DCA. I hope the move back to LA will do wonders for you, peace of mind, and life moving forward. I am looking forward to reading your upcoming book and watching more van-life videos. Keep well Rose! 👍

I think you need different things at different times in your life and living your best life and traveling before having a kid is a great idea. I live in the least affordable county in the US per a recent study and I didn’t really put down the real roots until I had my son. I managed to buy a home before my son started kindergarten so we could have a stable home. It took 7 years, but I also just managed to travel abroad with him for the first time since he was born. I am 47 now and had my son at 40 on my own via donor. I highly recommend finding a good partner who shares your vision for family if it manifests in your life, but it isn’t the only way to do things. I am really enjoying and learning a lot from your channel. Thanks.

I get it. It is time to make those babies. Don’t delay it longer. Just do it. I am 41 years old and have two beautiful daughters who are 7 and 3. Infertility is real and pregnancy complications are also real. So it is best to have them early if you can. I had my kids in my mid to late thirties and although both are healthy I went through infertility and pregnancy complications. And you don’t want to put your body through all these ivf cycles that might not even work! I know women in forties still trying. It is very sad. One of my regrets in life is that I wish I had them early! Also it is more exhausting raising them when you are older lol!

Changes are not always the best, but they are essential for personal growth

Great thoughts Rose, your content is so relatable. I too have been on a self-discovery journey through trying different adventures and over the years, I have started to discover my true purpose (I have not arrived but failing forward). I would encourage everyone who is looking for meaningful community and searching for your place in life to get involved in a local Christian Church. You get to experience life together with people who genuinely care about you. And most importantly, the best way to discover your place in life is to develop a relationship with the Creator of Life who loves you so much. Best wishes to you Rose and everyone out there!

LA is expensive and a lot of people moved out of LA say to Texas to avoid income tax...I don't know America but hey you do what is right for you. Both of you need to think of your long term and compromise. Make sure both of you are clear about your finance goals and thinking.

Nothing in life is constant. I appreciate you sharing your life lessons and taking risks! Please share your process and journey in writing your first book! Good luck with your move. PS. I love watching your camper van vids - it inspired me to take a van trip across California ☺️

Life isn't linear. Things happen, choices are made, people are met and so the course changes. I read somewhere a long time ago that, individuals generally change how they perceive the world on average about every 7 yrs, as we grow and learn and experience things. If we look back at the person we were at age 18, to where we are, how we think now, it's often very different. Good luck moving to LA! So much excitement!
