I keep coming back to the beach. It’s quiet and the sun is not quite up yet. I can hear the water. It’s so peaceful and the smell is so comforting. It feels like home.
Then I open my eyes and I’m in fuck ass Florida dealing with this fuck ass shit. Everything sucks! The world is burning and I have to CLOCK IN TO WORK?!??? What the fuck is going on with the gas prices?!? THIS IS WHAT YOU VOTED FOR?? THIS?! How can you hate yourself so much that you are willing to say that what we are going through is better than ANY OTHER FUCKING OPTION?!? ARE YOU SERIOUS!! There’s no way this is real.
And when it gets to overwhelming for me, I close my eyes and I go back. I go back to the beach. The feeling of the water on my feet. The smell of the salt water comforts me.
