For the first time...

For the first time... I went to the ocean...

I watch the waves moving in and out...

I feel the breeze blowing through my hair and against my skin...

I hear the laughter of the people around me...

I watch the sun starting to set...

I see the reflection of the sky on the ocean...

The pink, orange, yellow colored sky filled with white fluffy clouds...

The sun seems to disappear against the ocean...

 

I close my eyes and listen to the ocean...

 

The ocean tells me...

That like the waves I have to keep going...

That like the breeze I can push through anything...

That like the laughter I must find the good in things...

And that like the sun I must shine bright even when it feels like all the light is fading...
