As a man of the sea I loved your post; I was born and raised in a seaside city and every time I move away from the sea I feel its absence.
I have always loved the mountains but the sea is something that I have inside. there is a phrase by Banana Yoshimoto that I like very much and it says: "In cities without the sea... who knows who people turn to to find their balance... perhaps the Moon..."
For me it's true, every time I have to find my balance I go to the seashore and everything becomes clear, serene....
This really resonated with me. As I live very far from the coastline, oceans are a rare sight for me. And it is true that the hassle of finding balance is hard for those like us who are trapped in a land full of concrete. I know the sea really helped me the last time I visited her. There is just something calming about her. I can't get enough of it.
You can never have enough of the sea😉🤗
