Transcript

it's day 12 of living in my car and I woke up in a random parking lot scared of finding a ticket on my windshield. I still have no clue where I'm supposed to park my car while I sleep at night and I always have anxiety. but it's okay because I had to get on the road for my six hour trip down to LA from the Bay Area. This is one of the worst roads to drive on because there's absolutely nothing for about five hours. I should have prepared for that because it meant I was going to get scammed overpaying on food and gas. It's fine because I really have no other option. But now I know to prepare by bringing food or just eating before the drive. I arrived in LA and had no clue what to do so I headed to the Santa Monica Pier and explored where the sand was so soft compared to where I live. There's also daily backflip. Everywhere the equipment. I want to try all of these rings. I hit the daily backflip off of these rings. It only made sense that I jump in the ocean even though the sun was going down and it was going to take a while to dry off. You'll say the water was unusually salty compared to where I live, but also way warmer. I did have to make my way even further down south to San Diego to meet up with a friend the next day. So after a quick shower at Planet Fitness, I had concerned myself with finding a place to sleep. I did end up parking kind of illegally and praying they would be okay. And every day we're getting closer to the goal of buying a house. 77% of you are not following. Follow for
