As I made my way from the summer shade and onto the sandy yet firm rocks, I felt the reflexes in my naked feet being stimulated by each carelessly landed rock; nature's reflexology therapy. The smell of freshly blossomed flowers mixed with the aroma of sun-dried seaweed and salt in the air was exhilarating.
I focus ahead to the sulfuric sand that awaits me, knowing fully well that I am about to sprint like Usain Bolt across its hot fine crystals and make my way to the welcoming bubbles and foam that await me.

She is stronger than the others, well; at least that’s what everyone thinks. As she moved her arm – snaking it away from his grasp – he grabbed her hand and held it tight, intertwining his fingers through hers like an unfinished puzzle.…

I’m frozen in awe at the world around me.…

    During April of 2015, I stepped out of the car and onto the beach for the first time in Destin, Florida; the salty sea stung my nose as I breathed in a refreshing breath of briny air. The first step onto the sand was like a bed of blankets; soft and comfortable. The way the white sand glided onto my feet and squished between my toes felt like heaven. The waves were singing a delicate lullaby, pulling me closer to them. As I walk towards the ocean with the warm sand beneath my feet, the cold waves lap at my ankles, as if they want to take me away.…

    Anna Maria Florida It was a hot, humid Sunday in Anna Maria Florida. We were going to the beach with the 3 other families that went with us. It was about a five minute walk from our house we rented to the beach, which really felt like five hours because I was really excited. Once we FINALLY got there my friends and I decided to take our shoes off and find a perfect spot in the white hot sand to set up of chairs and umbrella. We took our clothes off because our swim suits were underneath and sprinted to the clear blue ocean.…

    It was the last day of summer vacation and I found myself on the docks of Point Pleasant preparing to board the Norma Kay III for a morning fishing excursion. The air smelled of salt as I helped my dad and grandfather unload our cooler and equipment out of the back of the car. As I looked out on the gray ocean in the early morning light the upcoming day looked promising. I had never gone deep sea fishing before, and my mind was filled with images of me hauling in flounder after flounder and having the time of my life. I could not have been more wrong.…
