Dear Los Angeles,

You are so wonderful and I’m so happy to have found you. I never knew that I could be so happy living in a city as wonderful as yourself. That day when we had a picnic at the beach on my lunch break (see above) I realized you would be mine forever. Despite all the ups and downs of moving somewhere new and starting over, you have provided me with the inspiration and joy to carry on. I can’t wait to spend our first summer together. Just think of all the sights we will see and the delicious food we will eat. Now when I hear people in SF or NY say mean things about you, I just think to myself, they are just jealous! Los Angeles, I love you. Thank you for accepting me into your succulent landscape.

Love,
Lauren
