The world’s beaches each spoke a different kind of softness. Some whispered—shells clicking in the tide, salt wind tangled in my hair. Others felt bold and bright, waves crashing like applause. I remember walking a shoreline in another country, the sky wide and blue, and thinking, “This is the same ocean, but it feels like a new beginning.”
What stayed with me were the quiet, universal things: footprints trailing behind me in warm sand, a coconut in hand under the shade of palms, laughter carried across the water in a language I didn’t need to understand. I wandered through quiet coves and golden bays, windswept cliffs and turquoise shallows, and each one left something with me—sun on my skin, peace in my chest, time moving just a little slower.
