Living in Colorado is a bit weird, because it's easy to overlook a lot of the natural beauty you see every day and it just becomes part of the background.
Every once in a while I'll be running an errand and will have to pause for a second and just go "holy shit, the mountains look gorgeous today."
This is why part of me thinks its honestly better to live close to mountains not by them.
I want to keep them special, something that sparks that child like wonder inside when I see them.
My 16-year-old son never wants to go out of the house but he was talking about wanting to go to Omega Mart in Vegas. So I booked us a flight into Denver. Yeah it's an 11-hour drive even after we fly. But I get to drive through the mountains, and I don't live anywhere near the mountains. And I fucking love the mountains. I grew up in the US West and I was able to spend the last couple of days in the Smoky mountains, but there just isn't anything that satisfies that mountain itch in the eastern us. Enjoy what you have.
When I was a kid, I flew from Colorado to Tennessee and my dad took me to the Great Smoky Mountains. I was like "these aren't mountains - these are hills!"
I guess I was a bit of an ingrate.
