The sand felt like the best thing in the world. It was so smooth, but rough.  It's the best feeling, other then the feeling of water, or the feeling of fire. What? You've never felt fire on your hands before? Oh come on, don't tell me you haven't.

I walked to the edge of the water. It laped at my feet. The water just covered my feet. I walked farther into the water. The water was not cold, but not warm, the perfect temperature.
It was 10Am. Early in the morning, yeah? Well, that's normal for me.
I walked up to my Knees. I didn't have a bathing suit on, just short shorts and a t-shirt, so i couldn't go vary far in the water without getting my clothes wet.
I wish I had warn my bathing suit so I could go swimming.
All night, I had been thinking about the ocean. It wouldn't leave my mind.
I just got out of the hospital a week ago, they had told me that I couldn't go swimming until today, because they wanted me to take it easy. But, what they don't know is, by keeping me away from the ocean, the more likely it is that I'll end up in the hospital.
I looked out across the ocean, and all I could see, was the ocean.The sky was blue, and so was the ocean.
Beautiful.
I took a deep breath in, and then a deep breath out, smelling the fresh ocean and morning air.
