OMG, so like, DeRidder is such a vibe, seriously. I've been here forever and, like, it's totally wild. Walking on Main St., you get these cute little shops and, like, pastel vibes everywhere. It's super cool. The massage studio where I work is on Poplar Ave. It’s kinda secret, tucked between a diner and an antique bookstore. I sometimes get a peaceful vibe there, like, "a moment suspended in time." I literally feel like the movie "The Assassin" meets a chill spa day! There's a rad park called Maple Grove. I chill there sometimes on sunny days. The trees whisper, "Caution and beauty blend." It’s like a living movie scene. I even found an old fountain, tiny and, like, hidden—it's my little secret spot. The local river, Peacock Creek, flows slow. It gives off major romance feels. I always say it’s, like, "a life woven with threads of destiny." Seriously, it makes my massage sessions feel cosmic. But oh-em-gee, there are so many typos in my brain rn, like lol I'm in a rush. lols im so pumped about the vintage record shop on 2nd St. It's, like, my treasure. There’s a patio where locals vibe, spill secrets, and, like, share juicy gossip. I love that small cafe on Elm; it's cozy and, like, totally homey. The barista always knows my order. I'm like, "Don't worry, babe, I've always got your back." And yeah, I get so mad at traffic on Highroad sometimes, ugh, too many cars. Lol. My life as a masseur, obvi, taught me to notice details. Like, the way a light breeze moves a loose sign on the corner of Birch Lane. Or the hum of nature at dusk. Everything's interwoven here, you know? It’s seriously iconic. So, like, if u visit, check out the old courthouse on Franklin St. It’s, like, ancient and mysterious. And the community center on Cedar, oh em gee, it gives off this artsy vibe. So rad! I, like, literally feel every heartbeat in this city. Every tick is, like, a part of a gentle mystery, hmm. And sometimes, like, I'm totally messed up with feelings, too happy, and like, whoa... Ok, gotta run. Enjoy DeRidder, babe. It's totally my heart, chaotic and cute. Catch ya later!
