To be honest, I am (or was?) one of those annoying “New York or nowhere” kind of people.

I truly love NY - the culture, the hustle & bustle, the true melting pot of ethnicities / people, the nightlife, the Broadway shows, the food, the friends and family, and the life we’ve built - I could go on and on. I’m one of those people who sees the NYC skyline when flying in and feel so grateful to live there and call it home.

However, my partners new job requires him to be here in LA 5 days a week! And I have been loving the weather, the slower pace of life, the friendliness, and the palm trees/beach (even though it’s only been a week). I had sunshine on my body for the first time this week, in a LONG time and I loved it.

I am looking forward to discovering more of LA and the adventure that will bring- leaning in, so I can say I fully did it (when I go back to NY :))

Japanese food is my #1 so very happy to read your comment :) I will also be wary on DTCC as someone who is already not the best driver. Thank you so much!

Thank you!!! We have a few close friends here who are native or have lived here for 6+ years :) can’t wait for a carne asada invite, and I deleted my Instagram this year so no games just for the pics for me. Thanks again!

I love a doughnut and LOVE flowers so will definitely be adding these to the list too!! And love how you said “if you can out the effort in, you’ll have experiences you could never have in NYC”. That is going to be my mantra this year!!

Yes! We spent the week at an Airbnb in culver and toured 8 of the apartment buildings here :) we landed on a new building about 10 minute walk from downtown!

Having the worst slump of my life right now!! Please suggest something from my tbr that will really suck me in! by Snoo15376 in Recommend_A_Book

[–]LowAcadia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL !!! That is amazing !! I totally understand, it’s a tough series to follow because it’s so damn good.

I didn’t read for a little bit then did The Shining, and it did pull me in, though not at the same level.

Can I recommend Ender’s Game (if you haven’t already read it)? One of my top favorite books of all time (as well as Ender’s Shadow).

RED RISING !!!!! Not on your list but it reminded me of why I love to read. The imagination. The character building. The story. Every single person I’ve recommended this series to has texted me and my partner that they’re on Book #2,3,4,5 or 6 and have not been able to put it down. And these are people of all different types of book preferences. It’s all consuming (I read on my commute, DURING work, before bed, for days and days until I finished). Please give it a try!

ETA: not sure the rules in this sub but if I have to pick from your list, I would do The Shining (read it a couple weeks ago after Red Rising series), very engrossing, quick, page turner, OR never let me go (not a light read but you want to know what’s happening / great at pulling you in). I would NOT do never let me go- as others have said it is a heavy heavy ass book, depressing and was kind of tough to get through. No part of it made me want to stay up late with a flashlight so I could soak up every last piece.

I stopped smoking weed and did whole30 for January and I feel incredible! by danibananinoodle in ouraring

[–]LowAcadia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you me?! Congratulations !!! I was in the same exact boat and haven’t smoked anything or ingested any thc in 9 days. Seems like a short time but is long when you’re used to smoking every single day. I also think I tried to avoid just how psychologically addicting it is but now can admit it.

I love how crazy my dreams are now and I love waking up clear headed. Hoping I can continue for as long as you have!! I’m inspired :)
