Beach Tales
Somehow, the beach is never quite as good as you expect it to be, is it? The water’s too salty and too cold, there’s seaweed everywhere, the sun is too bright and the wind blows the sand into your face. And yet… there’s always something that makes a beach trip so much better than you imagined it would be. The warmth of the sun, the sound of the waves, the certain way that the sand moves around you, the squeal-inducing wave that crashes over your head. So many things are different than we remember, or we expect, or we want them to be. But all the same, they turn out pretty okay.

Those waves look awesome!!
I think an interesting thing about remembering events is comparing it and going “ohh, man last time it was soo much better, and I had more fun.” and then when you actually think back on it, you realise it sucked, and you’ve created a mythical standard that can’t be reached in reality.
