Tuesday, August 29. I vividly recall that sunny summer day on the beach. I met a free-spirited soul, Alex, who taught me to gather seashells, whispering stories of the ocean. As I dipped my toes into the crystal-clear water, the coolness sent shivers of delight up my spine. Lost in reverie, I spotted a mesmerizing sunset painting the sky in hues of coral and gold, leaving me in awe of nature's captivating beauty.
