santa monica pier around 0300 in the morning, some while before the fires. when i lived at the base of topanga canyon near ventura blvd i would always drive through the canyons to malibu then down to santa monica and just sit by the pier when my insomnia would act up. in hindsight it probably wasn’t the smartest to do alone (i honestly can’t think of a valuable enough defense- maybe moods?) i know with the fires and all it wont ever be the same and i miss it so so much already.
