Today

Friday. Last Friday before the Thanksgiving BREAKKKK! I got out of work and headed straight for my M&D's. I'm now in my old room and it feels like I was just here, also, I feel like I'm just a guest in this house. Nostalgia. I remember how I used to fantasize about my future life and me as an individual on their own. It's funny how we want to grow up as quick as possible when we were kids, and now as adults, we realize that childhood goes by really quick, and we should have enjoyed being young and naive in life. We were kind of in a happy-go-lucky, on another level, in another realm-type of world [as kids]. WE didn't have to be responsible for anything. Nothing was really expected of us but to learn and grow. Now we look back and realize how good we actually had it.

Shower thoughts

We are all trying to figure out who we are,  we are all thinking about our purpose and  how life works. We are all trying to love ourselves while still trying to get to know ourselves better. Life is a cycle. Things will and do get better. Days will be brighter and the sun will shine on you. Just keep going.

Santa Cruz Paradise

Santa Cruz is where I grew up. It's a town where waking up, rolling out of bed, grabbing your surf board, and heading to the beach is the norm. I wish I could say that I could surf, but that is the farthest thing from true. I spent my days [in high school] at friends houses and we would walk to the beach, go to parks, or get burritos and sit by the beach.  I loved how the cool hang out spots were the beaches. Living by the water is a luxury. I kind of took it for granted because I always knew that it was at the minimum 5 minutes away from where I lived. There are so many beaches you can go to.  I am truly lucky and blessed to have grown up in such a beautiful place. When I visited home last week, I spent a day walking up and down Pleasure Point and 26th beaches. I sat on a bench and just got lost in watching the waves break and surfers catching waves. I very much appreciated the fact that parking was free, no traffic, and super close to where my parents live. In LA, the closest beaches are Dockweiler beach in Playa del Rey, Malibu, and Venice. Going to the beach in LA is a full on commitment. Traffic, parking, and the amount of time it takes getting there and leaving. It's safe to say that life in Santa Cruz is the opposite of LA. It's not a bad thing either. I love how busy it is here. I appreciate a new surrounding and figuring out my place in a new environment.
