spontaneous Beach trip

(Edited)

The past weeks have been a little challenging. Nothing major has happened, but I guess you can only bottle small things up for so long before it overfills and breaks.

I decided that after spending so much time in bed and being isolated, I would go out and be spontaneous. I decided to take a short trip 20 miles away to my nearest coast, Great Yarmouth.

It was cold and windy, and it even rained on the way, but the beach brings me calm and a small joy that is tricky to explain. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there is something about the crashing waves and the golden sands that brings a calm, allowing me to have an escape and enjoy the moment. I was also completely alone on the beach the whole time. I was on the sand; I saw maybe 2-3 dog walkers at most.

The tide was very far out, revealing a nice shallow area of rocks.

It felt good to get out and do something out of the blue. Mental well-being is very important. With all the drama in the world. The wars, the cost of living, and young people like me, and maybe you too, whatever your age, finding it impossible to grow and work towards things. For me, today was just about escaping for a bit and just enjoying a different environment. A beach trip is quite rare for me compared to a few years ago.

I also captured a couple of short clips. I may finally explore 3speak and see if I can make a short clip from the couple of clips I recorded. With that, I'll wrap up today's post. Thanks for reading.

How lovely! I have Yarmouth on my list of places to visit. I know the coast around Cromer and westwards. I've had lots of trips to Hunstanton and one to Sheringham. I think you must be quite near @stav? I think a summer trip is in order 😍

Hope your day out cheered you up - you're looking very good ❤️

@chris-uk...

Everything about this post just vibrates with the energy of thoughtfulness, positive energy, and originality. Yes, LOL, I already sent you a DM, but I wanted to highlight this for everyone to take notice...

I think we need these kinds of spontaneous actions to keep ourselves aligned with all things positive. You are right; the world is full of things that we probably weren't wanting or sometimes ready for. But you shine a beacon for everyone to take a different path. Even if there's not a beach! A wonderful addition to the #wednesdaywalk community, and certainly something to be thoughtful for... Have a GREAT weekend, brother!
