All around me i am surrounded. Tall buildings, people on their cell phones or personal computers constantly, and the steady stream of useless conversation that people start just to pass the time. This is not where my mind is. I find myself constantly craving peace and quiet, the sand beneath my toes and the sweet kisses of waves. A place so simple... just happy.
To know that a world as vast as the solar system can bring so much peace constantly amazes me. The smell of the ocean, that bitter taste of salt, thats what i live for. If i could wake up every morning to the sound of waves crashing at my doorstep and sea birds chirping i would be content. Just looking out my window and seeing a stretch of blue that i will never fully understand would be like living in a dream. Ahhh the beach, yes i am obsessed.
If there was a way that i could make sure everyone on earth visited a beach at least once in their life i would, just because i know what it truly is capable of. If there is one place on earth that could truly bring peace to someones life, its the beach. When you are there, the hectic world doesnt seem to matter. The only thing that makes sense is you, the sand, and the waves. So join me... share my obsession, lets just get taken away with a wave.

Wow Alex, that was really good. The first paragraph was attention grabbing. I feel like the picture inserted could have been showing how wonderful the beach is like you have described. The last sentence has kept my interest. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI like your description, too, and the image and layout of your blog....very relaxing....Watch your mechanics (capitalize 'I' and please use apostrophes for possession...it's ). You also needed to use a couple of metaphors.
ReplyDeleteWell it looks like your blog has come together pretty well in the sense of you showing that you must really like the beach. The color everytime i visit the blog just kinda soothes my eyes and does remind me of a crystal clear beach setting. My favorite is the picture of you while on the beach that really captures the true envirmoent and peacefulness of the beach. I dont know if I read correctly , but maybe you should have mentioned your favorite beach in particulat and possibly your favorite activity at the beach. I already possibly know these but maybe others dont.
