"Most days of the year are unremarkable. They begin, and they end, with no lasting memories made in between. Most days have no impact on the course of a life." - (500) Days of Summer
This I find to be true. But I also find it to be true that a moment, an experience, a day can be significant enough to change your life. Make a lasting impression that you will never forget. I think each of us craves this all the time, which is why we crave adventure, risk, something new. Being in La Push this Saturday was a moment that changed me, just in the slightest way. Crossing the water, climbing the rock and looking around the bend at one of the most beautiful sights. I was afraid to take the risk, but the things you're afraid of are usually the most worthwhile. It was one of those moments where you feel time stops and nothing can bring you down from this high. And to be standing there with two friends made the moment even more special because I got to share it with someone. I hope I have many lasting memories ahead of me, good or bad, I know it'll shape who I become. And I'm excited for that.
seriously, i'm so glad we talked you into going out on the scary rocks. there's something about taking the backroads that's always a little ominous. but its that uncertainty that makes it worthwhile, and the even cooler thing about the backroads, is they are definitely less travelled. so you get to see things that only a handful of people ever get to see.
