Being the rebel senior I am, I left school in the middle of the day to go on a much-desired adventure.
We started off by taking a random toll road by accident to get to Laguna Beach. It’s been 2 years since I last visited this gem of a place in Southern California. And within moments of catching sight of the ocean, I started squealing with excitement. All those memories of my first time there came swimming back.
I remembered why I loved this place so very much. The cute boutiques along side the street, the classy and quaint beach-side restaurants, the colorful flowers perfectly planted in the lawns of mansions. The salty air, the sunshine, the warmth, and the breezy wind sweeping my hair to the side. It was all too perfect. We took the road less traveled (literally!) to A Thousand Steps down to a relatively private beach. Luckily for us, it wasn’t a thousand steps and the refreshing sight of the beach relieved us of all exhaustion. This exhaustion was replaced with excitement. No one was there on the beach.
The water was foaming over algae-covered rocks and pools of urchins and mussels were sunbathing on the shore. We splashed and frolicked up and down the beach, holding hands, running into the massive waves (as terribly cheesy as that sounds).
And it was just, the best.
There’s no other way to say it. Nothing could have been better than today. It was exactly what I needed and wanted!
Even now, I’m sure I’m still radiating with happiness. I cannot wait for summer to begin so everyday can be spent on an adventure.
Laguna Beach, I’ll be back shortly. :)
Thinking about how this is the last stretch: only 2 more exams and I can officially let senioritis consume me without feeling even a little bit of guilt. I cannot wait for Tuesday when I’ll finally be FREE.
And at 10 pm on this Friday night, I am still rolling in bed, but with a popsicle in my mouth. Those popsicles sent a wave of nostalgia; of home, of cousins (@theamandaphan), of summer, and of pool parties as a kid. I bought 2 boxes of these popsicles solely because of the corny jokes they have on the stick, hehe. I miss being a child again.
When you pull at my heartstrings.
I am in such happy spirits tonight. Thanks to Clara C’s beautiful music, I feel so in love tonight!
