The thunder, lightning, and heavy rain was swiftly moving towards shore and the island’s visitors were hastily running for shelter.

My Magnificent Experience in Nature Imagine a sunlit sea, the deepest blue the eyes can see. The waves are forming and crashing with grace and the sharp smell of salt lingers in the air. In the distance, birds mimic the sounds of boats passing. I had always felt a mutual appreciation with the sea, it was as though we both enjoyed eachothers company. In that moment as the sun lingered above, every ripple the tide brought in and every breeze from the surface felt harmonious. I’ve had many…

That was a mistake. After I walked for about twenty minutes, I realized that I got lost in the jungle. There was nobody, but only trees and mosquitos around me. I could not even see the sky. I was so afraid because although I walked for a while, I felt like I came back to the same place where I started.

Look!” He said as he ran a few feet in front of his longtime girlfriend. “What?” She called as she ran towards him. “A seashell.” He smiled as he gingerly placed in her hand. She looked…

But upon looking at all that mess, there is a picture hanging on just one nail, collecting dust as if it was some kind of ancient artifact. As I look at it every morning before heading off to school I am instantly reminded of a trip that I now use to define who I am: commitment, compassion, and…

with her, the only way to relive the joy I once had. ... The starry sky was jagged and disconnected from the grass, a sharp difference from the last time. Stars bled from the sky like a thousand pale golden tears. Once again I could feel the life leave from my legs and I found myself moving without sensation. This time the sensation was remarkably different to last time. I felt myself swimming in the pool of the night sky, beating on against the…

father who is standing open-mouthed in the window. He snaps his mouth shut and rushes away from the window.

finger. The droplets of salty water stung my wounds in my bloody barefoot, as the waves slithered its way up. The pain was numbed by the exhaustion, acting as my anesthesia. Beyond those soothing waves were golden streaks that filled the canvas of the sky. The pink and orange beams of light merged together, resembling a flawless ripened peach.
