"People who fantasize about living on the beach--this was what they never figured. After a while, the ocean view, the salt air, even the thunderous ocean song disappears, and you are left with yourself, your place in the scheme of things. All that you reach for and all you can't hold runs up before you like the tide and reaches for you. It takes a very strong soul to keep from getting swept away." — Jun 01, 2025 07:20PM
