Something that makes me happy and therefore wanted to share with my friends ..
http://sassylittlepunkin.blogspot.com/photos.htm They are not taken by me or anything but they turned out great and you should see them.
What I love the most about them though is that they remind me of all I used to have.
The beach view,the waves,the walks by the sand,the feeling of the waves crashing at your feet,the reflection of the sun in the water,all the happy people,the shower with the fun colored tiles...
When I was young ,my grandfather showed me all that.We were the only ones in the family who loved the beach.Every afternoon during summer we would take long walks to either side of the beach.He would let me feel the water in my feet or sit near the shore and enjoy it(I can't learn to swim because im very allergic of the products they use at pools to keep them clean.)For a few moments I felt free from the dark clouds in my life.
We would pick as many seashells possible,we would enjoy the sight of sandcastles and people having fun...
Talking about this makes me want to cry because there's nothing left of the man my grandfather used to be.All there is a man taken over by illness.
My family will never be back there again either.I can only hope that someday I can go back to that beach ,even if its nothing like it used to be and just remember ,cry both out happiness and pain , and feel finally at peace.
I hold several treasures of those old days.I have a collection of 282 approx. shells we collected since I was very little until the last time I was there on 1998.I have over 40 pictures of the beach,my old apartment and some places nearby.
Yet nothings beats the feeling I had when I was there.There's too many memories from those days I don't wanna forget..
I just wanted to share this with my friends,one of the memories that makes me the happiest and somehow makes me want to cry for a long time.Not many things beat this.
I miss those days so much..
On a randomly related note:I've been living in my actual home since I was in third grade.Two years ago I realized that through my rooms window I can see the ocean from a distance.It still surprises me every time I look.
I feel like hugging someone right now...
