I’m seriously missing California.
It’s strange how we can feel like we belong somewhere long before we even visit.  Growing up I was convinced that this is where I would go to college – it just felt like what would be right, and most people agreed.  It was just something that could not be explained.  When I finally got a chance to visit in 2009, all of those feelings were confirmed – this was where I wanted to be.  The weather, the beaches, the feeling, the In-N-Out Burgers… this is it for me.
Although I haven’t made it out there yet, it’s something that is on my mind every single day.  A feeling I can’t shake. I haven’t figured out where, when or how this will happen yet, but something in me just knows that it’s right.
