Hello – I haven’t done an update since July 1. Going forward I’m not going to be sending these out every month, because some months I may not be up to shit and don’t want to send out an update just because. July was slow for me, but now I have an update.

I moved to San Francisco! My living situation in LA wasn’t working so I needed to find a new place – I had been questioning what I was doing in LA, and before I moved to LA I was starting to think about moving to Oakland CA. When I started dating Molly we pretty quickly decided that we would move to LA so that plan went out the window. We stopped dating and now I had the chance to move to the Bay so I took it!

This is my apartment it’s right in the Mission! I sold my <a href=”https://abdelrazaq.com/images/tags/whip” target=”_blank”>whip</a> and now only have my skateboard as transportation. Going to be getting a bike.. soon..

I’ve been drawing a lot and drawing in a new style as well. Here are some recent drawings:

I also dyed my hair neon green

‘ve wondered if my friends think I’m going crazy and I’ve wondered personally if I’m going crazy since I made a bunch of big decisions. But it also makes me question – what is a “big” decision?

As I was leaving LA I made it a point to go to the beach as often as possible. I went swimming in the ocean 6 times in August.

I’m going to miss LA a lot but in the year and a half that I spent there, there was nothing that made me say “wow I want to stay here forever.” One day I’ll end up with a little house in Chicago to call my own, but until then I want to stay out and keep experiencing new things – hence SF.

When I told my friends that I was moving the response was mostly confusion or apathy which I don’t blame them for.

LA is so fucking cool I love DTLA ktown westside I love the freaks scammers hustlers that are in LA, but it was never really the place for me.
