Ocean
~~
I didn't want to be around anyone. I just wanted to be alone and think. I wanted to dull the pain of what it was I was feeling. The problem is I didn't even understand what it was I was feeling.
I left school at the end of the day, avoiding everyone. I just wanted to drop my stuff at home and go stare at the ocean from the beach for several hours. That always made me feel better. I guess it comes with having the name Ocean but I always felt the most at home at the beach. I loved being in and near the salty waters. It just felt calming and safe to me.
It was still pretty warm out so I changed into a pair of dark green cargo shorts and charcoal gray t-shirt. I wasn't going to be going into the water, unfortunately, so I put on a pair of slightly older sneakers. With that I was ready to go.
