california dreamin

Last week I was explaining/whining to my parents about how badly i wished i was still in California. and kindly began begging them to take the fam on a trip there this summer. maybe for a week or two. 
sadly, my convincing just wasn't enough. But my dad DID find me a song to listen to on You-Tube. 
that generous man. 
it was called California dreamin' by the Mamas and Papas. 
all week i have hummed that song. it's pretty rad.
 I'm not sure what it is about the golden state that calls to me so much. 
maybe the warm weather? the sun? the beach? the hustle and bustle? the unique stores all around? the people to see? the palm trees or the salty air? Maybe it's because i want to be a surfer. or because multiple people have told me I look like i should live in California. (not sure what that exactly entails, but I'll take it.) 
All i know is that it's been exactly a month since i was there and i am more than ready to go back.
pretty sure i have a gypsy soul. 
It's a strange feeling really..to be so sure you belong somewhere different than where you are. 
sometimes it's frustrating. but other times I just have to say to myself "all in due time."


ha this video just cracks me right up. except I'm pretty sure i have the same clothes as the girl on the left. that's embarrassing.
