The only time she truly felt happy was when she was in the ocean. Her mantra was swimming. Peace fell a upon her at these times. Blue waves shattered not her soul, but her sickening thoughts. Time would only tell how she felt in the morning when she woke up, but one of the other great joys in her life were her puppies waiting at home for her. So at least she had that to look forward to.

Her boyfriend had broken up with her the other day. But as soon as she had those clouds hanging over her with the riptides in the distance, she felt better and all the drama washed away.

When she got home, she would smoke some weed and jump into bed. Her puppies would cuddle up with her. Her friend Kasha would cook her some dinner. This girl knew she was feeling down and would give her some down time just to be herself. She was one of her best friends but had only met her a year ago. A lifetime friendship was something she really needed so she was hoping all the best from and for Kasha.

Getting out of the ocean was not something she really wanted to do but she knew it was time. As she swam closer and closer to the line where the sand would touch her feet, she suddenly felt a lobster touch her toes. Ouch, she cried. She thought about taking this creature home for dinner. But she let him live. Figured she’d let him spend more time in the ocean even if she couldn’t tonight.
