we hung out for awhile at the beach last night. we both miss the ocean so much even though we don't live too far away from it. at our previous residences, it was much closer to the beach and so even if we're not bikinis and sand castles people, we would drive by or stroll along the cliffs and waterfronts. we just don't do those kind of things anymore. there's various things like that that i feel we've neglected. each one constitutes a small piece of happiness and we've chipped away at happiness. it was very nice to just sit there on the sand in the dark and talk with the sound of the waves breaking on the shore as background. a tear, a hug, a kiss, a grain of sand closer towards closure.
