This is what I see everyday from my street... Mt. Hollywood/Griffith Observatory.  I'm living where millions are dreaming of living and I gotta say....It's not at all like the movies.

Be happy where ever you are... if you can't be happy in your current situation, when you get to the place you've been dreaming of, you will soon become unhappy with that and it's an endless repetitive cycle.  It's great to desire good things and to want change but don't base your happiness on it.  Happiness comes from within and once you realize that, you're free.
