Today is Sunday, August 18, 2024. I’ve been living near the beach since COVID in 2020. Despite being so close to the beach, I rarely get the chance to enjoy it due to my busy work life during the week.

This week, I decided to change that. Instead of going to a happy hour on Friday, I went for a walk on the beach at 5 p.m. I repeated this for the past three days, and it has been a magical experience. It reignited something within me that I’ve been trying to rekindle for a while.
