"What I mean to say is - I don’t think I’m very unique in that LA symbolizes this ethereal reality, where dreams can come true. And its impact reaches those of us who never even live there."
I hadn't thought about this before.....it's one more layer of sadness on the much larger human tragedy of the wildfires. And the idea of LA as a dreamland for dreamers (and your mention of La La Land) brought me back to Emma Stone's "Fools Who Dream" audition. It's always moved me to tears.....now for new reasons.
Thanks for this and the excellent list of resources. I hope your friends are okay.
Thank you Maggie. Thankfully they all are physically safe ❤️🩹. And I can never make it through that film without tearing up at that part either! The dream is so relatable.
So well said, it's been absolutely heartbreaking to see the place I love burn.
❤️🩹

Beautifully written - thanks for sharing some great resources!
Thank you! Something about that place just has my heart! I find it endlessly inspiring. Idk what the world would become without that city.
