I received the invite from Russia and can't go.
I no longer have any of my legal documents and officially can't afford it. Prior to the burglary however I could have pursued an academic education.
That said, i have come to the decision that it is a better idea for me to stick around l.a. for my potential art education. There are fantastic teachers here and I found some great friends. I am grateful.
In losing my entire life savings i've realized that perhaps i should have spent the money i worked so hard to earn more... because now it's all gone. All my hard work, investment and time and dream, Gone. It's time for me to live a more sustainable life. I'm going to change some things to steady up.
