The Coastal Cliché

All teenagers today claim to be obsessed and charmed by the beach, but no one ever bothers to find out why. With our hectic daily routines, the beach offers to us the soothing effect we crave. Priceless are the moments spent sitting on the rocks, by the shore with the waves lashing gently at our feet while our mind stays lost in the turmoil of thoughts. Watching the birds fly at the horizon, reminds us of the freedom we can achieve if only we are willing to let go of the past & all attachments which tie us down. The simple beauty of the sunset leaves us mesmerized ; in this world where beauty comes with nothing other than complications & pretense. For once, we don't feel conscious about being by ourselves even though we are surrounded by a huge crowd. It's not loneliness but inner peace which we finally manage to achieve. As the waves of the ocean rise, our hopes rise with it. Just looking at the rise and fall of the waves, reminds us that we will fail several times before becoming successful in life but you can't succeed unless you try; just like the waves never stop trying to touch the shore until the two do meet. I must say though, the romantic movies & novels, also contribute to spreading the beach charm. The concept of beach love, has its origin in these and we will always be filled with gratitude for that.
That feeling, that moment, the simple beauty of the surroundings & the solitude, is what draws us to the beach. So next time someone claims to be in love with the beach, remember, this cliche location has so much more to it than just being the trend of the time.
