~My Adventure. Oceanside, CA~

I am back! And in more ways than just one. It sounds terribly cliché, but I would go as far to say that my time in Oceanside CA. has changed me, even if only a little bit. But you see, I am one of those people who believe that every event or place -in fact everything we do in our lives- changes us even a little. In the end it is these things that help shape us into who we are.

On that note, I too have made some changes, and realizations during my experience. But the only pertinent one for this blog is this: I just have to keep living. That's it, as simple as that. Yet, it feels like all this time it has been such a foreign concept to me. Through this moderate epiphany I realized something else. This blog, is NOT about a bucket list. It is NOT about everything I want to fit into my time on this earth before I die. In short it is NOT about death. No, this is a blog about life. This blog is about exactly what I discovered to be so important in California; this blog is about living. Because what is a bucket list really? It is a list -that part is pretty self-explanatory- but it is also a guide to nothing less than living!

So now that that is all cleared up I feel like I can express just how amazing my vacation was. I did so many things that I never thought I would do. Among them which I have decided to add to the Almost list are:
2. Watch the sunset on the beach/over the ocean.
3. Try to 'find Nemo' in an aquarium.
4. Go boogie-boarding.

And lastly, this entire experience has leant me to add a new entry to The List:
65. Return to Oceanside California.

As for this one I don't mean next summer, or even next year. More specifically one day years down the road, when I am older and lived more than I have as of now. One day, I want to go back. Because I really can't express how much this place has helped me in a sense. I picture maybe a time in the future when I can go back and just reminisce about all the changes I felt there; then again maybe it'll be a time in the future when I again feel lost and need to just take time to figure everything out. I am curious as to what the future holds, so until then I suppose I will just keep living.
