Let me tell you the story of how I fell in love with the ocean.
I stood there, on the glistening, silver sand and I let the wind flow through strands of my hair and beyond. I let it blow through decks and heaps of angst I've been holding on for ages, and I finally let lose.
Have you ever had the feeling of finally finding something you've never really searched for? Or is it just me? Because I know I felt it. I felt in my heart. In my bones, when the water touched my toes and it tickled the nerves I didn't know could be tickled.
If you ask me the best part of it all, it was probably when the waves pulled me along the current while I was still firmly grounded. The way a kite flies in the sky, knowing that the string is firmly held. Or like the ship floating amidst a deep ocean, already anchored home.
Or was it that night, when the waves teased me when they kept breaking at the shore and I wept at the grandeur of it all. I couldn't say. I guess all I can truly say is, I've never been more home.
