my motto for the summer. adventures are good. you should try it sometime. the reward is worth the risk.

the only thing more impossible than staying, is leaving

Dear San Francisco,

I got on a plane 3 years ago to this date with 2 suitcases and big dreams. i had fantasized about you for years, and now i was actually going to call you home. its been real. you will always be my first love in california.......

escapism

Escapism is mental diversion by means of entertainment or recreation, as an "escape" from the perceived unpleasant or banal aspects of daily life. It can also be used as a term to define the actions people take to help relieve persisting feelings of depression or general sadness

so dramatic.... ha

life isnt that bad. i just wanted to google a definition.

nothing like some strategically placed boobs in a little surf ditty. hopefully my weekend will look similar. heeeeeey california.
