I'm not entirely sure how much time had passed, but after what felt like an incredibly long, peaceful sleep, I finally opened my eyes again. To my relief, I found myself still lying on the beach, the warm sand beneath me and the sound of gentle waves in the distance. Phew… so it wasn't a dream after all… I really did escape the sea and make it to land.
Even though I'm on land now, being in the water for so long kind of messed up with my sense of things. I got so used to the ocean that I almost started thinking of it as my home. Now that I'm on solid ground again, it feels a bit strange and weird. I don't know why, but that's just how I feel right now.
I guess it's been a while since I've been somewhere without water, so I'll have to get used to this whole "land" thing again.
