Go to the beach and get high

For me and my best friend's birthday this past week we went to St. Augustine. I've ALWAYS loved it there and I have no idea why particularly, but I'd go with family once or twice as a kid and then my best friend and I went a few years ago as well. Then again it also helps that my Mom has a timeshare there she's willing to let me stay at.

But I'm mentioning it at all because my best friend and I, I'll just call her Sky, like to smoke weed and go on little adventures here and there. This time we ended up wanting to make cute little fruity cocktails and smoking on the beach. We had had fun the previous days leading up to actually going to the beach by taking walks in the historic parts and suck of course, but we'd been feeling like something is missing from the trip. 

Once in the uber for the beach (we do NOT participate in drunk driving ofc) it began to storm. Bad. But we both were still really set on the beach. We pulled into a restaurant and shared an appetizer while we waited for the storm to pass. When it did, we made it to the almost empty beach, and collected shells, swam a bit into the ocean, and then it began to rain again. 

But this didn't bum us out at all, in fact it made it better. It was a little cool, nobody would be able to smell the weed, and the rain mixed with the wind was...surprisingly nice. 

I'm not very religious, but something about this trip is really sticking with me even after a few days. I miss being so close to the water and I miss the culture of being near a beach. Maybe I'm romanticizing it a bit but there's something so spiritually enticing about such an old city and I felt such a deep connection to Sky, and where I want to go in life this time around. 

Something in me during this trip just woke me up. Made me realize I really need to focus on my future. And now, I'm excited for it. 

Basically, go to the beach and get high with your best friend.
