Hey guyyys. How you're doing?

First of all I have to tell you that I haven't forget your requests and I'll soon work on them. So sorry for the delay!
Also, you can go read my other cs fanfic "Us Against The World" which I deeply love and have maaany plans for what's going to happen. I don't update so often but not so rarely either.

Now, I consider entering a volunteering organisation in my country which is about the youth and the community. It has a blog and I want to try myself in righting articles or small texts about specific issues its time. So I wrote this as a sample and I reeaaally hope for your opinion.

I initially wrote it in my first language (greek) and then translated it so I hope it won't have many mistakes.
Last but not least, the text is about the sea and I used "she" instead of "it" because I wanted to make it more personally. I hope it doesn't sound too wrong.

Please tell me what you think! :)

Sea. What exactly is the sea?

For some, her unknown and threatening waters make them fear. For some she's just indifferent. For others the place where they work and live and for others a beautiful, magical world with mermaids, kings and witches. For me and I dare believe for many others, she's peace.

No cruise and no swimming compares to what these same waters have to offer you. Sea is a psychologist. You can sit and speak to her for hours and let the wind and the waves take your words away. Words you wanted to say but didn't managed to. Others that you were afraid to say and others that you just don't want to say to anyone else, but to her... you can tell her because she's gonna hear you. She won't interrupt. She won't rush to express her view of thinking and tell you where you're wrong. She won't judje and she won't mock you. She's not going to tell you who you are ...but she'll help you discover it yourself.

And it's her magic, no not the one with the mermaids, a stronger one. This magic she has every single moment, in every form she takes. From the huge, black waves that remind you of everything that hurt you, pissed you off and made you want to scream, 'till her steady, blue waters with the lovely breeze which encourages you to put a pause to everyting and just think. Where are you? Why are you doing anything you're doing? Where do you want to go? Faults, frustrations, memories, laughs, people. Everything is magically right in front of you, demanding your attention.

The sea will give you the answers, don't underestimate her. Where the waves end. That's where what you tell her goes. A small movement and then... the foam and the sound. And it's this sound that hides whatever you long for. She yells at you and then calms down because she know she has made her job.

Give her a chance. Love her. Don't make the mistake to consider it boring. The sea isn't for those who are lonely. Because the same people who takes advises from her, they're the same who will later sit in a big circle with friends, guitars and fire as the waves go and get lost.
