It's weird, because SoCal, what I've seen of it anyway, is ridiculously similarly set up to this place, but it never really felt like this. Possibly the fact that my aunt lived walking distance from a Trader Joe's and a coffee shop made me never think about it--or the fact that I was able to borrow a bike and never really had to walk much? I don't know, I'm really actually just trying to figure out what makes this place so unfriendly.

I do know that it'll get better. :) Even just this morning, renewed rest and perspective is pretty helpful.

You don't have to send me anything, though--I do have a lot of what I need, including your support <3 If you really want my address I can give it to you later, though...I don't actually remember the zip code offhand. >>;;

But yeah basically--thanks :D <3
