Los Angeles: where everyone’s either chasing a dream, driving a Prius or Tesla, or debating if Erewhon’s $20 smoothie is actually life-changing. We’re a city of paradoxes—home to both endless sunshine and never-ending traffic, vegan influencers and taco-truck enthusiasts, beach bums and rooftop yogis. In LA, your barista probably has a screenplay, your Uber driver knows a casting agent, and your neighbor swears their crystals cured Mercury in retrograde. It’s chaotic, it’s beautiful, and somehow, it works—just like us. Welcome to the city where even the smog glows golden. I love it here.
