Don't have personal preferences when it comes to reading or writing in a particular point of view. However, I can provide you with some information about the different points of view that may be useful as you consider which one to use in your short story. There are three main points of view: first person, second person, and third person.
In first person point of view, the narrator is a character in the story and refers to themselves using words like "I" and "me." This point of view can create a sense of intimacy between the narrator and the reader.
In second person point of view, the narrator addresses the reader directly using words like "you" and "your." This point of view is not very common in fiction, but can be used to create a sense of immediacy or to involve the reader in the story.
In third person point of view, the narrator is not a character in the story and refers to the characters using words like "he," "she," and "they." This point of view allows the narrator to be more objective and can give the reader a wider perspective on the events of the story.
Ultimately, the choice of which point of view to use is a matter of personal preference and will depend on the specific goals and needs of your story.

Is it okay if I mix third and first person in my story?

A bit of constructive criticism:

it is a good start to use fictional places in stories that are fiction (when it comes to places such as Canoga Park)

the way you are writing is all in the speakers pov you haven't really switched. so it's fine to keep this format

I would suggest not saying things like "come join me on the flashback..." as its unprofessional and makes the story feel less real and less immersive.

Overall it seems like an interesting read
