a gorgeous piece! what a beautiful farewell to LA thank you for letting us in. I loved the diary entries, always love to mix in present and past in a story.
"I do know that cracking myself open to an audience beginning at eighteen years old, wanting to do my best by people who began to number in the tens of thousands, and creating an atmosphere of disclosure and authenticity that quickly became impossible to promise made me ill for quite some time. I can’t get too much into it now, that story. I am still in it."
As someone who did exactly that and has never quite had the words to express the complicated feelings around it all, this quote hit so hard. This is my favourite piece of yours so far – thank you for sharing it.
I love this Eliza. Fellow Capricorn woman here relating immensely to being chased by the constant feeling of loneliness and the burning desire to be understood. You’re so talented. You’ve helped me many times to not feel alone.
You really took me on the journey with you with this one. I found myself yearning for a life in Los Angeles and by the end sick of it already. Best of luck with your move!
The thought of the beautiful prose that Eliza will undoubtedly write about nyc makes me sooooo happpeeeeeee love you my parasocial bestie who doesn’t know i exist!
You’re really dope, I like your writing. Good luck with everything, I hope life treats you kindly and you write about it. I hope you write about all the times it doesn’t, not for consumption, just because.
as someone who is yearning for nyc after living in texas for years, this hit me so hard. thank you for sharing your voice. this piece is beautiful and inspiring. i’ve outgrown texas. maybe it’s time for my nyc era too?
This spoke to me so loud it bursts my staples "But it’s true, I am. I have spent long enough being uncomfortable being by myself, I might as well see how it is to be uncomfortable around everyone else. I want to be packed into a train car. I want to trudge through snow and be made a tiny toy soldier by the weather."
being able to read an honest and vulnerable entry like this from someone who is nothing if not true to themself made something in my brain click into place i think. wishing you the best in nyc!
Eliza east coast migration and binchtopia reunion ….I used to pray for times like these
