• We sat looking out at the ocean. There was just so much of it, and it never failed to take my breath away. Looking at the ocean gave me the same sensation I'd get staring at a sky full of stars- that I was small.

And knowing that, that I was nothing but a speck, I felt pretty lucky for all that I had.
