Today as I looked at the drab world outside, my mind began to drift. Now the place it landed was Hilton Head, South Carolina. I miss that place so much! I miss being able to walk down to the beach and sit and watch the ocean, whether it be in the afternoon or in the middle of the night at 3 am. I miss sitting outside at the Atlanta Bread Company drinking sweet tea and writing, musing over the lizards that were scampering around nearby. I miss going to the tiki bar after getting out of work and listening to a guy who played acoustic guitar and sang cover songs. I miss the people I met there who are fading slowly into the background. I remember the night we all decided to go swimming in our clothes in the pool in our apartment complex. It was 3 am and our heads were swimming with intoxication and it seemed like a good idea at the time, until security came and made us get out. Funny thing being that the security guard is who everyone bought their pot from, so we didn't really get into too much trouble. I miss the quiet nights too, me and my roomate Katie (sweet Oklahoma girl) we'd go sit on the beach at night under the stars and talk about life, dreams, and our aspirations. The stars there were amazing you could actually see the galaxies, this was because we had no street lights. Driving at night could be a trick, but you got used to it. One day I'll go back, I hope it's soon...
*The picture above is the actual pool that we were kicked out of.
Rainy daze and Starry nights
Thoughts, wonderings, poetry, and my life for all to see
