(re-blogged from unboundpages)
As I typed the fifth (sleeping on the shore), I remembered exactly how it felt. I remember lying on my back, looking up at the moon at three in the morning and falling asleep with nothing but my clothes and a flashlight. I remember waking up to the feeling of grains of sand stuck to my cheek as I shook more out of my hair, the smell of the sea and the sound of people sleepily making their way to the shore, laying out blankets to watch the sun rise.
There’s a painful tug in my chest whenever this memory comes to mind. When I think about it now I think of how foolish it was to fall asleep in the middle of the beach alone and far from help. But I’d do it again in a heartbeat. That was the only time in my life when I felt such pure contentment from solitude.
