SUNSET BIRD!
A grand tourist attraction here in California where people from all over come during the summer to lounge around all day at the beach. Where you can walk down a street crammed with stores filled with souvenirs. With just an overall pleasant atmosphere to indulge in.
I have lived here my whole life. Well, for all 18 years of my life, and I wouldn't wish to be anywhere else. The skies were almost always blue with an occasional cloud slipping by. The days were bright with just nearing scorching temperatures. The nights were warm with the sky always permeated with scintillating stars. I spent most nights sitting at the beach or perched in the field behind my house, watching the sunset until I could contently stargaze. It felt like I was living a very long dream.
The summers were the best, until school comes around. When teachers are awakened from their slumber, I find myself cooped up in my room, securing good enough grades for my future. Of course, my neighbor (and best friend since I was 8) Cove and I would have enough, and drag each other outside to go on some sort of adventure before being forced back into our chamber of studying.
But this was it. This was the last summer before we went off to college. It was bittersweet, really, but I was determined to make the most of it. I needed to make the most of it. I couldn't live with the knowledge of letting this last summer as kids go to waste.
Every summer felt endless. We'd run out to surf when the sun came up and traipse our way back home, taking home the entire ocean with us. The scolds from our parents never got old when the water and sand got scattered throughout the house.
Sometimes, Cove and I would bring along our other friends, Terri, Miranda and Derek. We'd traverse to the beach, frolic around the old playground and enjoy each other's company walking around the town, sharing stories from our past or indulging in one another's past times.
Sunset Bird.
A beautiful place to grow up in and make lifelong friends that last forever. A small town in the middle of California where the summers seemed to last forever. A place to create incredible memorable moments to reminisce on and relive even in the darkest moments.
I couldn't dream of making them with anyone else.
