live on the coast

I absolutly love the beach. I love the smell of the salty air, the feeling of sand between my toes, the sound of the waves crashing on shore, and the laid back atmosphere. I’m graduating high school this year and hopefully attending college in North Carolina or South Carolina. My ultimate goal is to live off the coast of South Carolina in the Charleston area, Edisto Island perhaps? I can’t wait to look out a window and see the ocean.

I know someday I will live on the coast. I dream about it.I feel drawn to it. I am always so happy when I hear the surf or watch the waves rolling in. I make a trip to the coast at least 2 times a year but it is never enough!!

I’m dreading the day I may leave the coast or not live on an island. (it’s not as exotic as it sounds, I don’t live in the bahamas or anything lol) My parents however want to move away from the coast because they have this crazy idea that it is unsafe and the water levels are rising so fast we are being washed out to shore!!

I have done this for the past 5 1/2 years now. It is wonderful but choose a place that still has 4 seasons, you begin to miss them if you live in a warm climate.

My ex boyfriend lives in Lowestoft (which is the most easterly point in Britain) and i went to stay with him and his parents when we were going out. It was beautiful and I LOVE the sea. I have only been sort of 6/7 times in my life and i think i’d like to end up there in a little retirement cottage!

...is something everyone should do at least once in their lifetime. Currently I’m in Solana Beach, just north of San Diego, and this little bit of paradise is well worth the effort it took for us to get here.

We’re realistically looking at needing to relocate to MD for my employer, but we’re also realistically looking at keeping our place here as we’d love to come back.

Around 1995, I created a pet project. It was a 5 year plan, where at the end of 5 years I would be living on the South Carolina coastline. The problem was that I am a programmer and could never find work in the area. In fact, I had a friend who lived there, and he was always jetting around to other areas to find work. I have since widened my area so that I will take work in North or South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. The only clincher is that I don’t want to live in a big city.

So here it is 10 years later, and I am still living in Kentucky. But I am still trying! I will get there someday!

nothing like waking up in the morning and seeing the sea
