A ballad of me & my brain

I don't know what this feeling is called because it isn't nostalgia if I am living it but I do know that I currently feel like I have reversed back in age and that I am sixteen again experiencing life in a twenty one year old's body. I've felt set back for the past three years in LA rethinking my own life choices but for what it was worth I am so excited to begin a new chapter in life that is quite intimidating if I do say so myself. By saying that I feel sixteen again I mean that when I was at that point in my early life I had a lot of creative ideas and freedom to run with them wherever I'd like....this blog is part of those ideas that I had back then and bringing it to life now is not only because I have that freedom to do so, but also because my creative mindset is back to that point where I was young and full of it.

That is an odd way to start off the first post to my blog but it is how I have been feeling and will somewhat connect to what I have prepared for us today. As uniquely written as this post will be you are slowly immersing into my brain, my thoughts & probably ideas and likings that I have living inside of me at this very moment, very intimate, no? Part of me kinda of feared how close you'll become into knowing who I am and the level of exposure my life will have through this but the other part feels like it is highly necessary to have things documented for my own future self to look back to. If you don't know already I'll give you a quick insight about myself.

Famously known as the cinnamon doll and lovingly known as Valeria Rose, I come from the literal center of LA where out of all the entertainment outlets I have at my disposal, I was highly influenced in music. I am a fan girl through and through although I have also been categorized as a "groupie" (which we will dedicate its own post to) but no matter the label I've got for myself whether it is doing photography for a band or literally carrying out equipment like a freelance roadie, I live, breathe and will probably die in music. My love is that intense that I am even making my own career out of it, which funny enough is leading me to live a life in Santa Barbara for the next few years. I have experience A LOT and I know what you may be thinking, aren't you just 21? I must say yes, but in a city where you kinda of have to grow up pretty quickly, my age does not define the lifestyle I have created and if you are one of the lucky ones who have heard me in real life rambling about any random story that surprises you or if you're my best friends Gigi, Jenn or Cici you'll know exactly what I am talking about.

I am not keeping you long for this one, I kinda wanted to make an introduction a bit deeper than I already have in my website display but I welcome & thank you all for deciding to follow me through a fun journey & my little documentation in life that allows me to write in this cute pink webpage. I am finally all yours, exclusively whether you've asked for it or not. I hope to be in your brains again next week since I'll be breaking down my experience at the Brat show and anything out of the ordinary that occurs in my weekly life.

Not all those who wonder are lost

Welcome to the one and only IT girl's guide to sex, drugs, and rocknroll. My name is Valeria Rose and I am currently navigating life through the eyes of a music appreciator in sunny Los Angeles, California where I was born and raised. The level of exposure I've obtained from growing up in the center of entertainment is something so uniquely shared among a small community of Angelinos, and as Eve Babitz once said, "Los Angeles isn't a city. It's a gigantic, sprawling, ongoing studio. Everything is off the record." and going off the record is all I want to do with this, this is an open invite to my brain, the things I think and see and the memories I live as I drive through sunset boulevard going through my past, present and future. Welcome to my blog, where all things are made to fit in retrospect to what I experience when I do and you will too.
