Something I’ll never get tired of

Anytime you go through our family album, the one thing you’ll find out is beach outings. I remember very well how we used to go to the beach every blessed Saturday. Yes, every Saturday. My dad would take us and we’d play till nighttime.

On Saturdays my parents weren’t around, our driver would take and take care of us till nighttime. I can recall a lot of beach memories from when I was 6 years old but my parents said they were already going before I was even born.

Funny enough, I found out about this thing I’m telling you just today. I went to the beach with my mom to play chess while she studies for an upcoming exam she has. On our way back, I asked her why I always want to come to the beach any least chance I get and she then told me that I have been coming to the beach since I was 9 months old. I wasn’t even shocked to hear that.

I have this friend who said it looks like I have a connection with the beach for reasons known to him.(No, I’m not going to ask him anything before he scares me with any stories.)

I remember some time ago, @princessbusayo asked if I ever get tired of going to the beach. That’s something nobody can get tired of. All my life, I’ve never heard anyone say they are tired of the free therapy nature gives them. It’s the same as going to the beach. For those who have been to the beach, I’m sure you already get my point. But for those who haven’t been to the beach before, I’ll try my best to explain it to you.

There’s this feeling of nothing else matters the moment you step foot on the beach. You’ll forget anything that is bothering you and just live in the moment no matter the kind of person you are. I always say maybe the waves are behind that particular one: they blow away any bad thing you are feeling. (And one thing I’m grateful for is how Ghanaian beaches are very clean. The cleaners do a great job.)

I can remember so many times when right after stepping foot on the beach, I found myself smiling. Everything at that place is just mind blowing. It’s even better at night where the aura makes you feel like you are in a whole different world. Oh, and there’s another beautiful feeling: rain at the beach. That phenomenon is so beautiful and could get you to forget yourself for a hot minute.

I’m not certain about a lot of things but something I know for sure is how I’ll never get tired of going to the beach. Never. If it were possible, I would probably be going every day if that were possible. Because I never want to miss the chance to feel the magic.
