Remembering the Ocean, Remembering Ourselves
There’s something about the smell of the ocean that stays with you forever. For me, it’s the deep blue of Hermosa Beach—the salt in the air, the way the mist settles on your skin, the steady hum of waves folding into each other.But it’s more than a place—it’s a feeling.I miss a kind of diversity that wasn’t wasteful or performative. A living mosaic of languages, colors, and cultures that flowed together without drowning each other out. The beauty of simply being ourselves while respecting the beauty in others.I miss unique and beautiful human beings—faces that told real stories, laughter that didn’t need a filter, and conversations that lingered longer than notifications.And I miss life before it felt fractured, when the horizon didn’t just meet the ocean—it promised something beyond it.
Today, I invite you to pause and think about the places, the people, and the moments that bring you back to yourself. The places where you feel most alive. Maybe it’s the ocean. Maybe it’s a park in your hometown. Maybe it’s the quiet corner of your favorite café.
💡 Wellness Tip for Today
Reconnect with a sensory memory. Close your eyes and recall one smell, sound, sight, taste, or touch that makes you feel peaceful. Maybe it’s the smell of fresh bread baking, the sound of rain, the sight of a sunset, or the feeling of sand between your toes. Allow yourself to linger in that memory. Your nervous system will respond by lowering stress and restoring balance.
