idling
by rantywoman
Several years ago I met a man who moved to Los Angeles at the same time I did, but as opposed to me, he idled for years before looking for work. He loved living in L.A., and I am realizing it’s because he could devote all his energies to meeting people and attending activities around the city. Now that I have some time to do the same thing, I see that creating a fulfilling life here is a full-time job in and of itself.
In any case, I’m having fun exploring the region before I leave– a final hurrah– and forcing myself, for the first time in my life, not to fret about what my next job will be.
