almost exactly two months ago i went to Daytona beach to lie on the beach and study for the final i had the next day... i got there and it was beautiful.. 80 degrees.. i could smell the salt in the air.. and the sand felt warm and moist under and between my toes. i was excited cause i'd bought a new bathing suit that week and new beach towels. i couldn't even pick which towel to bring without breaking into i'm so happy giggles..
when i got there there were tons of people and there were camera's shooting some kind of spring break special for vh1 or mtv. or some other network. i spread out my beach towel and layed there studying for media and society until i felt a soccer ball hit me in the head.. i looked up to see a slightly muscular but not intimidating tanned skinny boy smiling and saying sorry. i got up and kicked it back to him.. eventually i went and layed back down and studied.. when i got tired and wanted to go home.. i got in my car and the first thing i heard was coner singing "and i never thought this life was possible" and i sat there.. and thought about how i'd always wanted the life i was living.. i loved everything. i loved my school. i was working with music. seeing wonderful bands regularly.. hanging out with the coolest people i could've ever imagined and dating a truly wonderful boy.
hm.. and here i am.. two months later.. cold. lonely. in tennessee.
i swear if my papaw didn't make me so happy by always telling me how he really appreciates that i'm here helping him. i'd just have to go back right now.
the life i love feels so far away. what i wouldn't give to feel the rush of the ocean. even sand burn. :-P
