I don't know how to explain it to where you can feel the depth of passion I obtain for this. It was euphoric. Feeling the damp wind hit my face and the pinch in my stomach from the speed. It was beautiful. The epiphany I had could blow anyone's mind. I'm in a completely different state. Driving around with my cousin, that I just met a few days ago, like we've been best friends for life. He's me. It's amazing how well you can get along with someone so quickly. How you figure out they have the same intrests and immediately bond. It's amazing. I never want to leave. If there were more down to earth people like him in California I wouldn't be so quick to abandon it. But it isn't my family that keeps my spirit aching for more. It's the atmosphere itself. Forests and water sources only minutes away instead of hours. Dirt and rocks instead of cement and fake grass. It's beautiful. I'm envious that all of this is only a walk away for them. I could write paragraphs and observe for hours. Yet, sadly, time was not on my side. I am not returning fast enough.
