my top LA escapes when the walls of my 100 sqft apartment begin to close in on me

1. Walking around The Flats

   For when I want to imagine what life will be like once I finally give into the sugar daddies in my Instagram DMs sign my first book deal.

2. Walking around West Hollywood

   For when I want to run into someone I met that one time… at that Halloween party… right?

3. Driving along PCH until I hit Ventura County

   For when I want to waste $40 on gas money instead of $225 on therapy.

4. Hiking Griffith

   For when I want to spend two hours fighting against my fear of heights.

5. Hiking Runyon

   For when I want to look at LA with fresh eyes… for the 100th time.

6. Surfing in Santa Monica

   For when my best friend and I want to risk getting stung by a sting ray again.

7. Shopping at Erewhon, West Hollywood

   For when I want to see influencers.

8. Shopping at Erewhon, Santa Monica

   For when I want to see micro-influencers.

9. Shopping at Erewhon, Silverlake

   For when I want to see micro-influencers on ketamine.

10. Shopping at Erewhon, Venice

    For when I want to see micro-influencers fresh out of an underground ayahuasca ceremony because the pandemic is just a “state of mind”.
