One of the things I love about living in this gorgeous state is that I am minutes away from the beach. When I feel the need to avoid the world, I drive off to a secluded little section of the beach that is almost always empty. As a result, I am darker. My hair is lighter. There is a large amount of sand in my car. There are t-shirts strewn about the back seat. If you've been in my car, you know I could care less if it is pristine, so none of this bothers me. It is the perfect spot to hide away from everyone and everything.
I could whine about being exhausted, or emotionally drained, but I won't. I have good people around me, and that makes all the difference. I have good music. I have the beach. I have friends who refuse to let me dip into some emo sinkhole. That's all you can really ask for. I rolled very high on the people I love being there for me stat.
