Sandcastles. Fragile joy

Against_the_current profile image

I was at the sea, water clearest, warmest and calmest i ve ever seen, starting to see the light, not think of mom drinking, having to call my Boss and pay rent but dad's in stepmother's village and i need money and i'm scared. Having to book a restaurant for Grandma's birthday but it's in my university city (she wanted to come) but i have to have money to go there). Then mom came and told me to get out of the water to not drown. I made a sandcastle, the sea took ti. That's why i im so negative and anxious all hte time. I'm not given chance to be happy

I agree. Have you ever taken a creative writing class? Does your school offer one? I think taking such a class might change your world and show you how smart and gifted you are.

At highschool i was. My university doesn't give a damn about us. My dream is to write a book but somehow my own issues are always visible

There’s nothing wrong with letting your life and experiences inform your writing. In fact, that’s a perfect place to start.

Can you build those sand castles with worries and fears in mind? Then when you see them go out to sea it's a beautiful thing.

The ocean is very therapeutic for me. I take my worries to the ocean and watch the tides take them away.

Beautiful words and picture

I love your sand castles. I used to do that when I was younger. It’s fun and relaxing. Glad you had a day at the beach. I know you’re dealing with a lot of drama going on in your family. Don’t get all caught up in it. Know that a lot of it is not about you at all. Your parents have their own issues. Take one day at a time. I truly wish you the best.🙂👍
