Love is a wild thing

It’s funny how you can never quite predict the things you will miss after leaving somewhere. It appears enough weeks have passed since my departure for me to begin to notice the things I subtly miss about the life I lived in Hawaii. Surprisingly, I miss the campus dining hall. There wasn’t really anything special about the food for the most part, but man, I miss having all those devilishly salty French fries for so many nights a week.

I know, I know. Sorry I haven’t updated in a while. I’m surprisingly busy for an unemployed person :(
I have actually been going outside. I did Stough Canyon trail a while ago. I had done it once before, but I was miserably hot and sleep deprived and grumpy on that day. I realized the trail was much prettier than I recalled. I experienced awe and even a little bit of euphoria. My hiking buddies are way too fast for me though, I always feel like I’m gonna die D:
^Me romanticizing random junk and also snake!
I don’t have a car, so I tried taking the train to Laguna. It was fun! I recommend it. The Metrolink is better connected than I had realized. Just take the OC line from LA Union Station to Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo :D I chose to Uber from the station to the beach though, cause it would’ve taken forever to take the bus.
I was happy to do a little day trip by myself. I’ve really grown to appreciate solitude lately. I paid attention to the pleasantly chilly wind in my hair, and the excitedly singing wind in my ears. The adventurous smell of the ocean, the rocks and sand rough against my fingertips, and the cliffs proudly announcing where we were: “California, bitch!”
I listened to my world.
The beach at Crystal Cove State Park might actually be the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen. I’m completely in love. I chose to drag a friend there later the same week :3
