I've forgotten how the beach made me feel so at peace and happy. I grew up near the beach. My dad took me to the beach almost every morning before going to school because I was very sickly as a child.
He said that the fresh air was good for me. He was right.
I went to Venice Beach by myself after around a decade. Yes, almost a decade. Probably more, I'm not quite sure. I woke up early one morning feeling the urge to go to the beach so I got up without thinking twice and went.
I walked for hours and hours under the sun, listened to live performers, ate and had a beer. It was awesome. So much great talent out there that are not being valued or heard by the world. Specially this girl with her guitar that was stationed in front of Figtree bar and grill. Uh, she is
amazing! She reminded me of Juliana Hatfield. She sounds like an angel. They both do.

Make it home
Deepening night, think on a time
All was bright
Here in this dark place, I see in your face
All is not right
Make it, make your way home
Better than the last
Break it, break the alone
Take a second chance
Open a window, let in the snow
Cold is all I know
Go to the fire, stir it around
There's a warmer place for you to go
So, make it, make your way home
Better than you have
Break it, break the alone
Leave it in the past
Oh, look and you'll find it
Someone wants to love you
Look and you'll find it
Someone wants to love you
Wake it, wake your dream
One forgotten me
Sleepin' deep inside o' you
Heavenly peace
But anyways it was a great time to reconnect with myself and to actually listen to my own thoughts.
I loved being there so much that I went back again two days after. It was quite funny because I went to this Egyptian store because I fell in love with this ring I saw there and I wanted to go back to get it. The owner said , "weren't you here a few days ago? I remember you!". I was there for like less than 5 minutes with so many other people and he actually remembered that I was there. It felt good to be remembered. To exist, even to a stranger.
Then I had pizza and the guy behind the counter was super nice and even gave me a free frozen lemonade. So much good people out there! Sometimes we are too busy looking at what's wrong in this world that we fail to see what's good. There are a lot of good things and good people. More good than bad actually but I guess it's what we focus on is what we see more of. I also made a new friend, Hi Angela, if you are reading this. I'll see you Monday! She braids hair there and she is so sweet. I believe that somehow our paths were meant to cross. She was also in Vegas at the time I was there. She was actually at EDC braiding hair. I believe that there are no accidental meetings in this world. I felt really good talking to her and just being around her.
Anyways, I can't wait to go back again tomorrow and just spend the whole day there. I had a pretty tough and busy week and I just want to get lost in the sun and sea and just soak in all the good vibes that I can.
I have a new found love for LA. After so many years of living here, I think I've never fallen in love with it as much as I do now.
