Last pictures from our day out in Santa Barbara, all in black and white, and a little video for the memories 🖤
I will gladly come back here anytime I can, the city offered so many great experiences. Between the heavy-poured cocktails, the amazing seafood and smoked fishes, the wine tastings, the cool people and the good finds in vintage stores… it was really lovely.
I managed to convince my friend to come with me to the famous “Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights” !
I had done it once in the past with my sister, and it was so much fun 🤪 It’s the best way to celebrate Spooky Season for me. There’s a couple haunted houses, that are more like guided mazes, that you go through… they go from not scary at all, to freaking insane ! There’s a Terror Tram that is a must-do, and my favorite of the entire evening. The bus drops you off in what seems to be the middle of nowhere, and you gotta walk through a bunch of scary looking settings, with all kinds of weirdos screaming and pointing things at you… it’s a sport.
And you also have all the usual attractions open by night, I did Hogwarts of course, as I am a Harry Potter fan, couldn’t miss it. It was a blast, an unforgettable evening; take a look at the video above, as my friend filmed some funny moments. 👻
Sunsets and car drives hit different in LA…
It’s like no matter where you look, life is filtered to fit an amazing film. I just love being here so much because I’m at peace. It doesn’t matter what I say or do, being crazy hopeful is normal, it’s the way of an Angeleno life. My creativity skyrockets in these conditions.
This short vacay is exactly what I needed ❤️
“I don’t understand, is it a millennial thing ? This need to
share everything with the world ?”
There’s so many articles, tweets, and posts online about millennials… being part of that generation, I don’t exactly grasp why there’s such an obsession about our values & behavior – but at the same time, I know we’re totally iconic.
Yes, I am being sarcastic right now. I was recently advised to stop sharing my life, and accused of being a narcissist because I kept a blog as a diary… and somehow that gave the right to that person to paint me as self-centered.
Although I cannot agree because I know that this has always just been a cool hobby to me, and it’s whatever, not that serious. I was still deeply affected by that hater speech, which compromised my true personality and made me out to be someone I’ve never been.
But I get it, “millennials are like gluten, nobody really knows what they are but everybody loves to hate them”. The funniest part in that quote is that I check both cases, because I’m also intolerant to gluten… which is great.
I’m probably gonna start adulting soon (I hope… it’s another joke), and put my mind back on serious work, but in the meantime, I will not accept anyone tell me how to process my feelings for example. At the end of the day, I know myself best and I know what’s right for me.
So thank you for good feedback, but no thank you if it’s just trying to ruin my mood.
