The ocean is one of my favorite places to visit. It is such a great and powerful force that no one can really control. Whenever I’m going through a difficult or anxious time I want to hit the beach. Between the loving rumble of the waves and the unrelenting force of the water around my feet, it really puts into perspective that my problems are not the end of the world. There are bigger and badder things out there, beyond my negative thoughts, that could harm or control me.
I think a lot of people who came to the beach had similar experiences. My friend and I sat and did some serious people watching (and cookie eating) during our first trek down Canon beach. By the end of the day I was feeling very crispy and sun burnt even though I used SPF 50.
