Ocean vs. mountains (the old question)

Ocean

Pros

• Beautiful

• It just makes me feel better when it's close

  • Perhaps it's the awareness that it's suddenly there (when it's not, it's as if it doesn't exist/is just not there (yes I realize this is kind-of stupid))

• It has healing powers I swear for real

  • Psychologically, emotionally

  • Physically

    • Smell (love-hate relationship lowkey)

    • Salt (apparently good for your skin)

• Can just stare at it forever

• The combination of staring + thinking + music is superior >>>

• People-watching + psychology

• Endless beach days

• SUNNNN RAYYYYSSSS

• sunglasses so we don't get skin cancerrrr or wrrrrinkles

• So mysterious!!!

• All the sea animals

• Can't see underneath

• So much potential for exploration

• Waves

• Dolphins

• Seals

• Walks alongside beach barefoot

• Warmish weather (obviously it depends when you go, but it hits)

• Color changes

• Staring into the horizon

  • + apparently makes your vision better

  • instant vision boost

  • The vast expanse-ness really makes you think

Cons

• Tsunamis are a little scary

• Sharks are a little scary

• Often people here, this is the more popular choice

Mountains

Pros

• Absolutely stunning

• Want casual views of the mountains all the time, everyday, at all time

  • As I'm like, walking out of Walmart or something

  • I've noticed this with people who live in Montana

  • They act like it's nothing

• Less people choose this choice

• More chances for forest around

• Hiking

• Mountain climbing/rock climbing/biking?

• I want to climb a mountain

• Altitude

• Tundra

• Cool animals/flowers

Cons

• I guess avalanches

• Mountain climbing injuries
