There is a place I use to go all the time that would always help me clear my head, calm my heart and just allow me to be for a few moments no matter how loud or stressful things got around me. It wasn't hard to find or get to, but it did amazing things that no other place could do for me.
When I had a bad break up or lost a friend, I went there. Come rain or shine, if things got out of hand or my depression hit hard, I went there. I would always walk to the end and sit, listen, breathe in and just let it all wash away.
I took many people there when not feeling or dealing with these things, but never told anyone why it was special to me. Most probably thought because I was a beach bum it was and that works for me.
I haven't been there in years, it's still there, still amazing, but I just can't do it like I use to. But I do plan on it, I will return to it.
We all need a place that does that for us or even a person. Anything that helps us center ourselves is a good thing. Hold on to it as long as you can, but don't be afraid to let go when the time is right to move on.
Here's a pic of my place, what's yours?

Beautiful pictures❣🤗I love the ocean for the same reasons. I have a favorite bench I sit on up on a cliff overlooking the ocean and a lighthouse. I've always been drawn to lighthouses and don't know why. If I'm upset I instantly feel better by the ocean. I use to live there but moved to help my mother, she's gone now and I need to find my way back!😔💦Thank you for sharing your story, I can really relate. [image deleted]
@Peaches I'm glad you enjoyed my share and I love yours as well. I'm the same when it comes to lighthouses. For time, I was looking into how you can own an old lighthouse, not really being the lighthouse keeper of old, but taking over the care of the old buildings of lighthouses that have been replaced, but not torn down. Never followed through, but it would have been fantastic to live in one. :)
There is a kind of solitary romance to the whole lighthouse theme, I think. Use to collect anything to do with them as well.
Thank you for sharing your special place and I'm sure you'll get back to it or something close to it when you can.
@MrPerditus1 There's a haunted lighthouse where I lived on the coast. 👻You can go in the gift shop and watch a 30 minute documentary about it. I've climbed all the way to the top of one before, it was amazing❣😊💦
