Her ideas about cities are annoying and funny to me. You think people wouldnt look at you weird in LA? You really think you would fit in? People know about vlogging but not everybody does it, and most people dont do it in public. But people know about vlogging in Kentucky too.
Really what does a city have that Amberlynn wants that she doesnt have already? She'd just be hanging out in the Cheesecake Factory in the strip malls in LA. She could find and do that same shit she thinks she needs a city for, right now where she is: find good (non-chain) restaurants that dont just reheat and assemble food, or cool communities and maybe even niche hobby shops--she's not averse to a 2 hr road trip both ways for something she wants--but she wont because she's too lazy and wouldnt fit in and it hadnt been handed to her. That wont change when she's in a city. Nothing would change for or about her if she was magically teleported to LA today.
She's the ultimate consumer, and she thinks a city will be more her speed, and she's absolutely wrong. She sees all this shit on pinterest and thinks it's just there, an object, a thing you can have, like you can just buy it like all the other shit she buys. She doesnt understand there's a person behind all that shit, behind a well designed room or outfit, behind good food, interesting and good art or music.
Some of it is exposure, sure, that you would get in a city but with the internet, you can get exposed to these ideas easier than ever, you dont need to be in the city except to cultivate a network maybe, find neat hobby shops and communities that couldnt be supported elsewhere but she's not into any of that.
She doesnt even have a voice or personality to express, and that's where the other like 80% of the shit she identifies as being 'city things' comes from--person themselves and their ideas. She has none of her own, and you cant just buy ideas or taste. You cant buy a personality. That's the real struggle.
She's in it for status and fashion and shit: the cute boutique shops and all the shit she sees on pinterest; even though she couldnt put any of that shit together if she had the means, and has sized out of it long ago. She has no taste and doesnt really care for quality necessarily. Like having a Kors bag or whatever--she doesnt give a fuck, it's just some tag she can hang on herself because she's an all consuming void of a person.
Life is what YOU make of it, a city doesnt magically give you that shit. Maybe more opportunities, but it doesnt MAKE you cool, or your life interesting and meaningful. If your videos are shit, your content bad, your life meaningless and empty, and you lack taste, living in a city wont change any of that, nor will a new camera or a Macbook status symbol. YOU have to change all that and you can do that anywhere.
Water finds its level Amberlynn. In reality, youve found yours--backwater Kentucky is just right for you, youre right where you belong.
More than that, she's the fucking width of a parking space in LA. I noticed how far she opened car doors and others have too because of how insanely ridiculous it is. She has to open it ALL the way. She wouldnt even be able to get out of a car, and she sure as hell couldnt walk. She also probably couldnt afford the cost of living. She'd need that money she bleeds away on pointless shit.
