This was what Alex loved most about life: the raw, untamed pulse of the sea. It didn’t care about his doubts or his dead-end job at the hardware store. It just was—endless, powerful, and free. Sitting cross-legged on the damp grass, he let the sound wash over him, each wave loosening the knot of anxiety in his chest.Alex wasn’t one for grand dreams or chasing big-city lights. He liked the small things—his morning coffee brewed just strong enough, the creak of his old guitar when he strummed late at night, the way his sister’s kid laughed like the world was a giant joke. These were his anchors, the moments that made him feel alive when the days blurred together. Up here, with the ocean sprawling before him, he felt big and small at once, like he was part of something vast yet still himself.As the sky deepened to indigo, Alex leaned back, a rare smile tugging at his lips.
