The trip was pretty spontaneous, right in the middle of my quarter. It was the season where it feels like every person, every place and things are scattering away from me, and I realize how hard I grasp them they linger away like sand particles in your hands, so I give up and I suddenly want distance between all them. Ocean is the best getaway for those times.
I've always wanted to go to Florida beach, but living in Oklahoma it's nice to be in the center but too far to go all the way to the edges. Now I've moved more East to Alabama, it's only four hours to these white sand beautiful beaches. It was end of January which it was still chilly and literally had no people on the condo except for some residents that seemed to live around the area. Elderly couples walking or sitting on the bench to see the sunset. It was all I needed. Quietness and water.
The three days were pretty same; wake up, watch the beach, eat, pray, walk the beach with Chevin, take photos, watch beach again in my balcony, eat dinner, watch a movie, cry, and go to sleep. Janice was telling me that time how for few months all she did was just watch netflix and sleep without meeting any people; then she felt such unexplainable burden lift up and really found how to rest. I think that was what I was doing; needed just a good rest doing nothing. The plus of the beach was a big plus.
Nowadays I am slowly feeling I need that break again, since my studio is my room I am constantly working never touching the bed. When this quarter ends (trust me though I am loving this quarter!)
