As my eyelids became weighted projector screens, I am thrown back in the events of this past summer to Huntington Beach. ]]> 2016-08-17 01:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mirelesbella4/3ksfn64sc59r/wish/118515827 mirelesbella4 https://padlet.com/mirelesbella4/3ksfn64sc59r/wish/118525429 My droopy eyelids open up and I wake up to the sound of waves crashing against the rocky shores. Then I rush to where the water and sand kiss, like a six year old. When I reach the water, it's fangs sink into my skin like a shark charging for food. I can feel stinging rays of sunlight grasping on to my skin making me darker every minute more that I am exposed to the sun.]]> 2016-08-17 03:56:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mirelesbella4/3ksfn64sc59r/wish/118525429 mirelesbella4 https://padlet.com/mirelesbella4/3ksfn64sc59r/wish/118525692 Soon after I cool down thanks to the refreshing, ice like water, the waves from the ocean begin to get bigger creating a sort of thunder clapping effect when it hits the shore. Instead of the water steadily staying at my hip, it begins to rise to the top of my stomach as if it was climbing a mountain. When I realize this sudden rise of the water I notice that I drifted away from the shore and I felt like a ship lost at sea, isolated. ]]> 2016-08-17 03:59:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mirelesbella4/3ksfn64sc59r/wish/118525692 mirelesbella4 https://padlet.com/mirelesbella4/3ksfn64sc59r/wish/118526618 All of a sudden this humongous wall of salt water casts a shadow over me and my first instinct was to duck underneath the salt water of China. The wall of water slaps against the other half of the water with me in-between like a sandwich and all I could do was to wait for it to be over to look for the surface again. When the waves are done tossing me around as if I were a rag doll I head for the surface in a panic. Reaching the surface, I've taken a huge gulp of air as if it were the first time I've ever breathed, and I can taste all the the salt crystals attached to my lips.]]> 2016-08-17 04:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mirelesbella4/3ksfn64sc59r/wish/118526618 mirelesbella4 https://padlet.com/mirelesbella4/3ksfn64sc59r/wish/118527267 That experience might have changed if I would have stayed near the shore instead of wandering around the ocean floor and being dragged into the oceans mouth. In the future I will pay more attention what's happening around me and be more cautious where I am when I'm inside the water is grasp. I won't be distracted with how beautiful the scenery looks and how good it feels to be outside the house, most of the time. ]]> 2016-08-17 04:19:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mirelesbella4/3ksfn64sc59r/wish/118527267 mirelesbella4 https://padlet.com/mirelesbella4/3ksfn64sc59r/wish/118527491 This experience has taught me the even pretty things have a deadly bite no matter how big or small. It has also taught me that actions can bring rise to consequences in life. Thanks to this event I will make sure that my children are more careful about entering the oceans domain.]]> 2016-08-17 04:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mirelesbella4/3ksfn64sc59r/wish/118527491
