Lost in the freeway, this must be L.A.

Thoughts in: L.A. 

I had a spectacular Saturday. My friends and I went to Dockweiler beach to have a bonfire and chill. Although we couldn't find a pit, we made the best out of what we had. One more thing I get to cross off my bucket list and a life event that I really wanted to experience for the longest time. Somehow the time just passed by so quickly. After the beach, we went bowling, which was great because we pretty much played until 1 something in the morning. If this doesn't feel like college, I don't know what else will. It was just so great and I felt such bliss just being with my friends, laughing, listening to great music, and being me.

What I realized is that this is probably one of the reasons why God didn't plan for my ex and I to work out, because without the breakup, I wouldn't initiate all these hangouts  and I would miss out on all these cool things we do if I were still with my ex. What makes me ecstatic is that I feel awesome about that realization, because when I think about it, my best college experiences were the days I spent with my friends. I'm not saying you can't have a great college life with a significant other, but in my case, I really wouldn't have gotten the chance to go on all these adventures and hangouts with my friends if I was in my past relationship.

Even if sometimes I miss having that one special person to go on adventures with and chill out in the house and watch TV shows and movies with, I am nothing but thankful for my friends and how my life has turned out thus far. I hope my ex and his new girlfriend are having a good time, because I'm having such a great time finding happiness in the little things in life and doing all the things I've wanted to do with friends who equally want to do them as much as I do. Whatever I have now, he's missing out on big time. I wouldn't trade any of this for the relationship I had with him. I thank God and life for the good times he and I had, but now, I'm really finding peace and happiness from the breakup and his moving on quickly. I'm close to free from the shackles of the breakup and the aftermath.

Life really is something. Being single really is something. Having amazing friends really is something. Here's to more surprises - our journey has just begun.
