The big wave and the white foam

The big wave

My brother and I were playing with the waves on the Marina Beach in Chennai. We stood there holding hands and when a big wave came, we dashed backwards and watched with glee, the white foam rushing over our feet. We stood firm so as not to be washed away. It was so much fun. The fun we have in childhood and youth can help recharge our batteriez as we become older and almost succumb to thd stress of middle age.

As this is freewrite, I did not edit. I paused and could not write more because of other painful memories
Note- Save the beaches, stop pollution

I am sorry this brought painful memories up for you. I hope you wrote them down somewhere - often that helps to work through them.

We all have bad memories mixed in with the good, sometimes it helps to write about them, if not the actual memory you can include it in the abstract as part of what someone is going through in a story, or by making it someone else's memory with the names dates and places changed. 😎
