Why I'm Leaving Everything Behind and Starting Over
Here's what to expect during my summer abroad.
2022 was filled with many firsts. I got a mentor who manages my favorite female artist, Doja Cat, I moved to LA, met countless celebrities, was in a movie, but also got sucked in to something I had tried to get away from for a while. I didn’t intend for my summer in LA to be filled with me writing articles (amidst several other hustles), but I had a hard time saying no to “easy” money while living in an expensive city. That trickled into the content I made for Tiktok, and before I knew it, so many people were labeling me a K-pop journalist again. I felt like I had strayed away from who I wanted to become when I moved to the city of Angels for my first paid internship. I learned so much about what I didn’t want, but still had a hard time pinpointing what I did.
