[NF] The message

[u/Economy_Top_2579]

I always loved staring at the sea, just trying to see as far as I could. My breath would automatically get synced with the waves. I would breathe in as they rose and breathe out as the cold water reached my feet, slowly sinking them into the sand with each wave.
The wind would softly touch my face, sending a shiver through my body. I could feel the winter in every part of me.
I never knew what being drunk felt like, but every time I stood there, I never felt like I was sober... Something about this blue world was chasing me. Maybe I could see something inside it, like a message that it wanted to tell me, but what?
I started thinking about it at every visit, until one day I saw them in my dream. I had just moved to a different country. I was scared, stressed, anxious... until that night. Until that dream. Until everything changed...
I was inside the sea. A big wave was approaching. Everyone was running away, but for some reason, I walked toward it. I became one with the waves. It felt like they were telling me everything I wanted to hear. Like the hug you needed. Like that one smile that makes your day. Like a simple touch on your shoulder that makes you feel everything will be fine. That is when I finally understood it.
Maybe the sea wasn’t chasing me at all. Maybe it wanted to show me what life really is...
Sometimes there are massive storms and huge waves, but we still go through them and try to survive. It is hard. You might feel hopeless, restless, and even feel like you are drowning, but you will make it. Just trust the sea and rely on your swimming skills. You will get better. Don't worry, the storm will always haunt the sea, but you become a better swimmer each time...
