Life is Worth it

I went to the beach for four hours today with my mother and father. We didn't go in the water or anything, since we're actually doing that tomorrow. Anyhow, it was pretty fun!

Light house thingy magiggy.

We climbed these rocks to get towards a little light-house thingy. It was pretty cool, despite all the graffiti surrounding it. And it smelled a lot like fish, but hey, it's the ocean. The wind was really nice, and the air was slightly cool, but not enough to make you cold. I got cold around night time, but that's to be expected when you're wearing a dress.

My parents and I also met some pretty nice people. Unfortunately, I just recently got braces, so when we went to grab a bite for dinner I couldn't eat the bread on my veggie burger :(. It hurt too much, so I just ate the actual burger with not much of the bread. It was still really good, though!

After we ate, my parents got up to throw out the garbage or something. I still sat at the table we ate at, which had a great vantage point to look at the water right by, and the people crossing the road. Well... Haha, this is embarrassing, I'll tell you guys anyways though.

Well.. There was this really attractive guy that passed by with a friend. He looked a bit like Zac Efron, except less girly. He had nice, piercing eyes and wavy brown hair. Like, damn, he was pretty hot, even though he was older than me. Well.

My mother and I often point out good looking guys to each other, so I turned around and yelled to my mother, "MOM, LOOK!". I guess I don't know how to lower my own volume? She replies, asking, "What?" and I turn back around to show her the guy. I nod towards his direction.... But. He's staring right in my direction, and sees me nod twice towards his direction with this crap-eating grin on my face.

Like, imagine that look you get when you're like, "My God, that guy/girl is absolutely hot!!". You sometimes get a smug look. Well, he noticed that, and he and his friend started laughing. They were talking to each other and looked back a lot before they went onto the beach.

I was a bit mortified, but very humored. And hey, he looked at me. That means something, right? Haha :D

So, yeah... That's the funny bit from today. However, on the more serious/philosophical spectrum, I realized just how nice it is to actually go out and do something. Being constantly online is just really depressing I guess.

You're missing out on all these amazing opportunities to experience with others. You're missing out on the fresh air, the gorgeous sunsets, the natural, breathtaking beauty of nature. I just get so happy going to the beach, or just going out to new places and actually doing stuff, especially new things. It's so nice to break up the monotony for once.

Doing the same, repetitive things over and over to ease our temporary boredom gets so... redundant. Maybe I'm starting to see all the things I can do in life, and the beauty of it?

I don't know, it's just so hard to explain how I felt at that time. I felt so... happy, so at peace. Like that my life was on the right track. That everything is worth it.

Maybe that's just called loving life? I'm not sure.
