I wonder how I'll ever leave Southern California now that I'm here. Now that I've found sailboats and beaches and organic, local, vegan restaurants and so many Whole Foods; now that I've started introducing myself to sailors and have met wonderful friends-of-friends. Now that I feel that I fit into the scenery without being overwhelmed or lost in it; now that I can either disappear or shine in equal happiness, amidst other beautiful and interesting people.
How do I leave the sun and surf and sand, now that I've fallen in love?
Now that I'm thoroughly seduced by SoCal?
It is so easy to see how people get sucked into this lifestyle, why they make exoduses of their lives to come to this magical place, why the beautiful never leave and the dreamers thrive amidst each other:
There are so many dreamers here, so many lovers; so much to dream, so much to love.
I am seduced - and do not want to return, for I never want to leave.
