I took a road trip up to Pismo Beach and back with Sara this weekend. It felt great to take in deep breaths of fresh air, be surrounded by wide-open spaces and huge skies, and laugh with my friend until our stomachs hurt. It never fails though...I'm tremendously blue today. It hit hard on the drive back home as soon as we got stuck in LA traffic. No more wide-open spaces. All day today I've felt like I can't breathe...like the city is pressing in on me.

I just don't understand it. Why can't I settle down and accept where God's put me? Why do places like this call out to me so strongly?
