I get so tired of the world. Do you? It is so draining. For me, there is so much heartache and so little pleasure in my world I really want to remove myself from the everyday life. I long so for a quiet life. I feel desperate at times about having a quiet existence. I don’t want to hear vehicles going down the street. I don’t want to hear my neighbors chatting in their yard much less listen to their music and noise. I don’t want to listen to the radio, television or internet video.
What I do want to listen to is birds and the crashing of the waves on the shore at some southern California beach. More specifically a San Diego County beach. Sure I can enjoy a quiet day in the mountains. I can enjoy the sound of a stream and the sounds of nature out in the woods. That is all good. But the beach is my top choice. Not only is the water relaxing but there is the sea air. It smells refreshing. It is often cool and crisp.
Maybe it is watching too much Baywatch. I don’t know. But the ocean is so relaxing. You can wade in the water and it washes over your feet and up to your knees. Then the tide flows out and your feet dig into the sand just a little. I would like to see what a Hawaii beach is like some day. crazy place. I would like to see Venice Beach. It sounds like a I would also like to travel along the Southern border along the Gulf and enjoy those beaches as well. The water is nice and warm.
When I was in the fourth grade, we lived in Florida right on the Gulf. Boy was that great. The water was fine and we had a boat and we would go boating around the Gulf and the International Waterway. Good times. I can myself traveling around going from one beach to the next.
I really love the idea of escaping the rest of the world. Give up the internet for the most part. And just enjoy the beach bum life. I actually imagine living in a camper and have that as a permanent home. A place to place your head when you want to rest and a place to store your essentials. A place to eat and a place to feel safe when you leave the beach. Another option is having a boat for a home. But I don’t know how well that would work. It would be great in good weather, but a winter storm may not be kind to a boat.
Maybe one day I can do this. Right now, with a dog, it would be hard. But it is on my wish list.
