The best medicine for anything aching is vitamin SEA. Notice how the beach can just cure all broken things. When we are sad, lonely, brokenhearted, bored, confused and guilty, we just want to feel the sand brushing against our feet while the waves are slowly washing it away. The salty air is somehow relieving. Just staring at the horizon while it just nonchalantly fading away into a fireball and dispersing its tint like paint in a canvass. 

But funny how the beach can drown your sorrows, it can also uplift you at the same time. The solitude of the shore shows a perfect reflection of your self and you will just realize that the world is deeper and bigger than you.
