California

I miss California. I guess I at least miss the moments of bliss that I had when everything seemed like a dream. I had a few amazing encounters during my 8 months living there. I didn't enjoy it like I should have. I was preoccupied with my job. After I left Cali I came back a few times to visit and finally I let myself breath and soak in its mystery. One time I sat on Corona Beach in the middle of January alone gazing into the Ocean with the cool breeze blowing my hair around as I wrote in my journal. Another time I rented a Convertible and headed to Santa Barbara with a friend. I remember these experiences as though they were yesterday. I don't think I've ever been drawn to a place before in my life like I was drawn to California. But I don't think it was the scenery that I was drawn to...I think I was drawn to the hope that something exciting was going to happen to my life. Even though I had amazing times I would have to say that the most exciting times happened before and after California. They mystery of California keeps you longing-keeps you believing that it is so much bigger and better then it really is.

Song From Crowded House:
Love this Life-Don't wait till the next one comes.
Maybe the day will come when we never have to feel no pain after all my complaining gonna love this life love this life love this life.
