I had to clear my head.

A run seemed like the only thing to do right now. I pulled on my running gear and my trainers, then went off down the road. I lived fairly close to the beach, like walking distance.

Laguna beach was probably my favourite. I hadn't spent much time in Huntington until I started dating Wes. I had to admit though, Huntington was beautiful. No wonder why the boys love being at the beach so much.

The beach was my time to think. My time for space. Today I really didn't know what it was that I was thinking about but my mind was buzzing and it was off putting.

It was still too early in the morning for the beach to be crowded. There were a few surfers and a few joggers across the beach.

The water was calm, apart from the waves. It literally glistened. It looked like the perfect temperature, no actually the perfect everything.

That's it. I'm going home and getting my board. These waves are too hard to resist.

I'm not that typical Cali girl with sun bleached blonde hair, green eyes, that surfs, longboards, plays beach volleyball every Saturday, and spends pretty much her whole life in a bikini.

I had brown hair, and hazel eyes. yeah I surfed but that was about the only similarity. I mean who in Cali didn't surf? It was almost like walking, you just knew how to do it. I find the long boarding dangerous and I have no co ordination to play any sport so that's out of the book. Don't even get me started on how uncomfortable bikinis are, I would hate to wear them longer than I actually need to.

I guess I can partly blame my photography for keeping me out of the same things as every other girl.

I was 15 when I started. So right about the age that everyone my age was 'exploring' different and new things. While kids my age got drunk every weekend and spent their entire lives at the skate park or playing beach volleyball, I was out and about taking pictures. I hiked nearly every Sunday. That was until I got about 16/17 when I got my license. I started driving to new, undiscovered views but I just started getting too busy with school and I ended up not going any more. But wherever I went it was a new adventure. With new life just waiting to be discovered.

Saturdays have always been reserved for surf life saving. It had been this way since I was about 8. At first mum got Nicole, Jordan and I into it for life skills, but after a while it just stuck to me and I just never stopped. Now a days I only go when they need me to, or when I want to. I accepted the highest achievement in surf life saving last year which meant I could go into it full time and get paid.

But of course I knew by then that what I wanted to do was photography. I still volunteer when I can though, and on really tough and busy days I occasionally get a little cheque for my efforts.

When I finally got home, I stripped myself of my running gear and changed into my bikini. I threw my running shorts back over the top of my legs and a rash tee of the top of my chest.

I quickly checked my phone for the time and any messages.

9:30, and 1 message.

1 from Nicole saying that the bills for the house had been paid but I needed to do my own grocery shopping. She had put $50 in my bank account and if I went over that budget I'd pay for the rest of it myself. I send her a quick text to thank her.
