Nashville, TN

i didn't think i'd actually do it, but here i am, sitting in the middle of music city. it's been a pretty interesting last few weeks. i've done very little exploring, but i plan to fix that in my last week of freedom. i start my job on the first.
the differences between home and my new home, are huge. the people, for one, are so much nicer, but as i always say, everyone is nicer than the people in LA. i've met some interesting and not so interesting people. i've had some good food and i've been to some great places. its strange how we can all be in the same country and yet the differences are so vast from state to state. i enjoy it here, i don't know if its the people, the food, the music, the history or the change in scenery. it could be everything. i spent so many years in LA wanting to get out, to get away, but my fear always stopped me. fear of what? i don't know for sure. i never imagined i'd end up in tennessee, wasn't even sure it was a place i'd want to visit, but here i am, and i'm enjoying it, i feel like this is the change that i've been waiting for and wanting for so long... though not exactly where i thought i'd want it to be. i'm hesitant to say that i'm happy. i'm in no way unhappy, i think that at this point in time, i'm still just adjusting. its been 3 weeks, i don't think i've been here long enough to fully judge the move. but i can say that if things continue to move along on the path that they're on, i will learn to love the great city that is Nashville. i feel like i have so much more that i want to say, yet i'm having difficulty getting the words out. when they finally make their way, i'll be sure to write that down.
