(I was in a bit of a reminiscent mood thanks to this video, so I decided to write something that's sort of poetic)
(Also reveals a bit about me)

The sounds of waves could be heard hitting the sandy beach as I just stood on top of a small cliff near the waters.
"..."
I say nothing. Taking in the gentle breeze as the waves make contact with the land.
*Crash*
"So much has changed over the years..."
I say to myself as I'm the only one here on this particular rock.
'In the span of several decades that I have been alive, so much has changed yet so much still remains.
Staring at the beach of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, I take notice of people on the sandy beach.
Teens messing around, family enjoying themselves, people having fun.
"..."
Slowly, a small smile crawls its way to my mouth as I take in the sight.
"People love to stoke conflict and cause discomfort for their own amusement." I mused. "But there is no denying that the world isn't as bad and terrifying as people may think it is."
"There is beauty everywhere. You just gotta open your eyes to see them."
Heh.
*Rustle*
Deciding that I was getting tired of standing up, I sat down with my legs hanging over the edge. Just watching the sun rays illuminate the ocean waters. Giving them a golden glow.
"How long has it been since I've been at peace like this?"
I wonder to myself.
I certainly didn't really do myself any favors by stressing myself out constantly.
As I breathed in the ocean air. Memories that start flowing back into me.
Memories that I had long forgotten due to the passage of time and getting older.
Of times when my family and I would go to places.
Las Vegas.
It really sprung to life at night with all the lights and energy.
