Where I come from being normal, is not normal. Merely all of my friends in middle school are self/and professionally claimed sociopaths. Where I come from, is a little city ALWAYS ignored in all of the weather reports, the great city of Ventura, California. Here you won’t hear of any astonishing rocket being sent into space, or a famous person being in town, but hey, a home is a home. Where I grew up was a sort of small home, where I never realized until now, but I truly loved that place. You don’t realize that you are attached to something until you lose it.
In my small town of Ventura, surfing is very popular. Surfing isn’t really my style though; I’m more of a technology dude. My favorite type of technology is computers, as I see it there are infinite amounts of possibilities for computers, and we are just beginning to see what we can do. Growing up on a street with no kids but me was difficult, and I often had to find entertainment in technology, which is why I have grown such a fondness to it. Technology has been in my life since as long as I can remember. I don’t know what I would do without technology, it is a part of me now, and forever will be.
Currently I live on the opposite side of that town in a place that I could barely call home, and also in Ojai a city close to Ventura, as my parents split up. Spending every other day in two different cities takes a toll on you. Especially if they are as different as Ventura and Ojai are. It is like comparing Montana/Colorado to New York/Dubai. Living in Ventura feels like average city life, as living in Ojai feels like living in a whole different state far away, with green and trees everywhere and it feels all natural.
Being able to relieve all of your stress just from taking one car trip for 15-20 minutes is a great feeling. The transformation around you as you enter Ojai is phenomenal. The transformation in the environment is pure astonishing from just around 10 miles. When I go to Ojai I try to leave all of my stress in Ventura, I find that it is best that way to do it. When your parents are divorced and living 10 miles away, you got to have some.
I think that my parent splitting up had an effect on me. It made me tougher, smarter, and sadder. I miss being able to see both of my parents at the same time, and not giving to wait a day to see them, but it’s really not that bad. In our new generation, the words “Till Death Do We Part” really isn’t holding up to its meaning. If you could see how your marriage was going to end would you still marry the person? If the answer is No then why would you be with them?
