Sand and Sea

I am in Florida. Sand, sun, surf, and sea. As I walk down the beach, as the pure white sand squishes between my toes, I see more than a million footprints. What i think about when I see them is that each set of footprints is a life...a life, a person, a soul.

Each set of footprints represents a person who breathes just like you do. A person with feelings and a mind just like you and me. That just blows my mind. I think about myself so much that when I see all those other footprints of people who are like me, I feel massive amounts of shame. Shame that I simply won't ever completely fix. It's impossible to never think about yourself, yet I feel such regret that I do. I wish I could think about myself so much less.

Another thing I've noticed about myself is my obssession with money. I'm not one of those people who is like "i need money i need money i need money." No, I'm the person who so rarely has money, so when I do, I'm selfish with it. I don't want to buy anything because I have money and that's such a rare thing! I don't know...just some things that I've been aware of and that are weighing on me.

But Florida is simply amazing. The air is warm and not humid in the least. The ocean is cool and soothing to close your eyes and listen to. The palm trees are green and exquisite. The sand is warm and white and vastly abundant. However, the jellyfish the wash up on the shore...kinda gross.

I'm here with my friend. She is very awesome. She's always up for anything and fun to be around. I'm so excited to be here :) I do not want to leave. But at the same time, I miss my friends and family at home. Love you all very much :)
