Maybe it's because it's at the sea that I stop being "correct". On the beach, no one cares who you are, how much you earn, how you look in the office. Here, everyone has the same decoration - a tan and salt on their lips 🌊.

I love watching people on the beach. Someone is always looking for the perfect angle for a photo, someone is nervous about the folds on their stomach, someone falls asleep right on the towel, not caring about anything. And there is such honesty in all this. It's like we're returning to childhood, where a bucket and a shovel are enough to feel happy 🏝.

Sometimes I think that the beach is my only temple. Here I pray not to the gods, but to myself. I sit by the water and think that it is in such moments that I am closest to my true self. Without masks, without loud words, without fear that someone will judge.

And yes, I know that in life the beach is just sand and water. But it is there that I feel that I live correctly. Because if you can sit by the edge of the sea and smile just like that, then you still know how to be happy 💫.
