As I lay in the soft sand, the inevitability of death made its way to my head. The ocean waves crashed onto the rocks. Inhaling the salty smell, I realized that I had the benefit of the doubt. I had to live every second as my last. Death, I thought. Such a strange small word for something as big as it's meaning.

My watch read 7:40 pm, it was time to leave this beautiful place. There was something about the ocean that calmed every cell in me. As I walked by the pier, the city noise came to life. Living in California was stressful. Being the most typical girl around was like being invisible. A good invisible though , I've always been the girl that's just there.

I thanked the Gods, since I'm really not religious, that my school was close to the beach. As I strolled through the halls, every face looked vulnerable. People went day by day without thinking outside the box. Don't they realize that every action they make has a consequence?

I guess they don't.
