Ava Violette Laurèl Is it strange that I have no interest at all in the "LA Scene" anything having to do with copious amounts of alcohol & people getting drunker by the second? I love a lot of the music,often the decor, & I'm always down to dance-but, I am realizing, I kind of just don't like the whole scene of it. All I can think is: I'd rather be in a yoga class where people are buzzing from the energy moving through them vs the alcohol!

It is not strange. You are not mistaken. The energy IS invasive. Alcohol affects the hypothalmus gland in the brain in a way that, in laymen's terms, makes people greedy for pleasure and essentially they begin to view everything around them as objects for their own enjoyment - including you. I am no prohibitionist, but I personally don't like being around the stuff either.
Ava Violette Laurèl I have been out to bars in all parts of LA - and while some feel less invasive than others...I think it is just where I am at at this point in my life...with just a keen awareness of life and people...and ALL of what Robin said below you I believe to be True...and it doesn't mean I am completely against drinking...it's just, most all of the time now, I would prefer not to put chemicals in my body that alter my state of BEING - when I am seeking to BEcome more of myself everyday..it seems counterintuitive to engage otherwise...to do things that are not in alignment with what I really want for my life...and my body is my instrument for the career that is so important to me, and in that way as well I want to have utmost respect for it. And I guess being in an environment where it seems like so many people are seeking to escape themselves in some way....or to drink to be less inhibited and afraid....I guess....I just want to become those things through other methods of peeling away my insecurities and falseness and allowing my true self to radiate through...but not through concealing any fears via intoxicants will I ever arrive at the certainty of who I am, and who I get to be in this world.
Tami Szabo Ava, I love reading your posts... Is it any wonder you don't like the LA scene when you have discovered the answer is to BE fully alive rather than looking for life outside of you or trying to escape the voice you hear within? In my books, you are even MORE beautiful inside than out!
