Today’s photo is from a few years back when I had visited my Dad at the Oregon Coast. I remember feeling how much I had missed Oregon, when I left I wasn’t in a great place mentally. I had gone through a very tough breakup, and was lost in so many ways. Coming back here was bittersweet, I love Oregon and always have. Some of my favorite memories are of visiting my grandmother who lived there during my childhood years. From throwing too many fermented apples to the cows across the street and accidentally getting them drunk, to playing board games with my family. Each of these memories have planted themselves firmly in my heart forever. I remember being in awe of the raw natural beauty the state has to offer. The way the mountains seem to drop right into the ocean, the way the waves crashing on shore brings such peace and warmth to my soul. In life, we can’t make everyone happy all the time, but you can choose to make yourself happy. At the end of the day, that’s all that really matters. Some people may want to bring you down to their own level of unhappiness if you let them. I am choosing the higher path, the view is better from here anyways. ✌️
