For those of you who know me well, the beach is my favorite place to go and do nothing. I could sit on the sand and watch the waves crash all day. I love the sound of the water, the smell of the sea salt, the seagulls flying in the air, and the wind hitting my face. During my twenties, I would go as often as I could. It was a cheap way to spend the day and get drunk….I would bring my beach cruiser and ride along the boardwalks and after the sun sets, we would have bonfires and continue hanging out with friends and family. Going to the beach would help me unwind when I was stressed and keep me company when I was sad or lonely….It also helped remind me to be thankful that the it was less than an hour away…there are many people in this world that would love to spend as much time as I once did at the beach…..When I was living in the Bay Area, the beach would be the number 1 place that I missed about living in SoCal. Now that I’m back down here, it makes me happy knowing that I have so many beach options, depending what type of beach vibe I’m feeling that day.
Santa Monica Pier, CA.
If you’re still reading this- I always talk about the pictures that I post on my site. I took this picture 3 years ago in Santa Monica. I slept at my friend Nassim’s house and woke up around 5am, dropped her off at work, and drove her car and parked to Santa Monica pier to watch the sunrise. About an hour after sunrise, I walked down to the sand from the pier and saw a family of tourists walk up beside me. All of them rolled up there pants and put their feet in the water. They were laughing as they let the end of the warm- water waves go up to their ankles, as a few of them were sitting down, digging their toes in to the sand. I took a few silhouette pictures of them and this was my favorite one.
That’s all for today- Peace and Love, ya’ll.
