I was recently scrolling through all the notes on my phone and clearing out the ones no longer needed. In doing so I stumbled upon a few little blurbs I wrote, most of them thoughts that were caught in a moment and meant to get transferred into my journal. I really liked this one, that must have been written at some point near some sort of choppy body of water, and figured why not share. Hope you enjoy this sweet little blurb!

Read MoreHow did you get into surfing? A fairly common question I get when meeting new people and the honest answer is, I don’t really remember.
