The sound of the sea

The leaves on the trees sound like the sound of the sea, when the wind is blowing up and the water is crushing against the shore. White foam leaving behind a trail of the sea along the coast. The sea goes in rythmic waves; hitting the shore and contracting in easy steady movements. Morning sun glistening in the surface of the blue colour; making it into a thousand different shades of blue, mixed with the red and orange colours of the sun. Seagulls screaming and flying around for the hope of food. Little bobbles farther out in the sea gives the sight of living creatures. A breeze from the side reminds that, even when the morning sun is there to warm the world up, it is still bright morning with all the cold, before the rest of the world come to life.

Prompt scripts #2

“There are many forms of love, yet, you can admit to none.”

“What would that mean? That I am not capable of love?”

“That’s not what I’m saying, my dear. I’m saying, that you don’t have to search for a love to share your life with.”

“So I am doomed to live on my own?”

“You don’t listen to me, dear. You can have all the love you want, but you don’t have to commit to one person, or to one gender, for that matter.”

“But isn’t that what life's all about? Find the love of your life and live happily ever after?”

“No, dear, not necessarily. It is about finding a purpose in life, that you can live with. You have to follow your dreams, not just what society tells you to.”

“But I don’t know, what I want to do. How I am suppose to find my purpose in life, when I don’t even know what the next day will bring me?”

“That is the beauty of life. You can make all the mistakes you want, because that is the only way you will grow, and learn who you are.”

“But will people not look at me and think that I’m a total failure?”

“Yes, maybe they will, my dear, because that is how society is. But out there, there will be one person out of ten others, that believes you are the bravest person, they know. And those people are the ones you need to hold onto, because they will be at your side through thick and thin.”

“But how do you learn to find these people?”

“You don’t, you just know. It is the people that will give you a smile, even when you are sad, and give you a bigger smile in return, when you are happy. Those people will always reach their hands out to you, no matter what.”

“Grandma, how did you find those people?”

“Oh, my dear, that is a story for another day.”
