Spontaneous Sunset

The other night after dinner with my friend, I was driving home my normal way through Pass Christian Beach. It was around 7:30, so the sun was setting. I looked over, and immediately parked my car at the beach and walked out onto the sandbars to enjoy the view. It was absolutely too gorgeous not to!

Even though it had been a long day, and I was tired and honestly ready to get home, I thought to myself "who gets to live in a place as beautiful as this?". And what was I going to do at home? Sit on my computer in front of the TV.

I think it is so so important to take time for things that are beautiful and appreciate nature. So much of my day is spent inside on technology, and I live in too beautiful a city to let that take over my life!

I also think it is so important to take time for yourself and your thoughts and have a moment to yourself sans distractions of any kind. In order to do this, put your phone on do not disturb mode. I turned on some chill music including Miguel, Jorga Smith, and Alina Baraz (all on my Spotify playlist titled "chill" @stpaulc, give it a follow) and allowed myself to be in my thoughts and enjoy this beautiful place that I get to live in. I don't appreciate it enough, and I've been doing my best to try to change that! This was a wonderful start. Challenge yourself to do the same sometime!
