Simi Valley in California

Hey there, youre probably scrolling past this like its a boring suburban snapshot, but let me tell you this is the secret life of Simi Valley, California! Population: 126,871 (as of 2014, because Im not updating it every Tuesday). Yes, thats right not a metropolis, not a sleepy ghost town, but a place where the only real drama is whether the neighbors sprinklers are on or off. And if youre wondering why Im not attending a fancy university like UCLA or Stanford? Because Im proudly enrolled at Eternity Bible College where the curriculum includes How to Argue with Your Parents Without Using But and Advanced Praise and Worship: The 1970s Edition. And yes, I actually believe Ill be able to find my way back here after graduation, because honestly? This is where the real life is. Its got that perfect, slightly-too-tidy street, the American flag proudly waving (even if its a little crooked), the white picket fence thats more like a wooden slat fence, and the cars oh, the cars parked like theyre auditioning for a silent movie. And lets be real, if youre looking for the next big thing, youre not going to find it here. But if youre looking for peace, a bit of charm, and a place where your mailbox is more important than your phone charger, then youve landed in paradise. This is Simi Valley where the only thing thats bigger than the houses is my pride in choosing Eternity Bible College. And if you ever come visit, Ill be the one waving from my porch, yelling, Hey, youre not lost youre just here for the vibes!
