Home Is Where The Beach Is

Meet me at the seashore

Where our troubles will wash away,

And my heart will lie still at long last.

Here is my hometown, everything feels so familiar. From the sound of crying seagulls to the smell of the ocean waves. If my soul was to every materialize, I firmly believe it would turn into the sea. Though I’m only 45 minutes away from the city, something about Redondo Beach just feels like worlds away.

Even though I only went to school an hour away from home, I met so many people who had never heard of RB. Usually most Southern Californians know of Huntington Beach, Venice, or Santa Monica Pier, the famous spots. But it’s a local’s secret to know the South Bay, and needless to say, I’m a spoiled local.
