Florida Beach

Where did I go?

There’s a kind of exhaustion that feels like drowning.

Not the dramatic kind. Not screaming for help with arms flailing against the tide. I mean the slow kind. The kind where the waves keep crashing above you until the surface becomes nothing more than a distant flicker of light. Cold, dark, murky water pressing against your chest while the weight of your choices, your mistakes, and the world itself drags you deeper.

At first, you fight it.

You kick against the current, desperate to resurface, convinced that if you just push harder you’ll finally break through. But eventually the ocean takes your sense of direction. You no longer know which way is up. You just keep fighting the waves because stopping feels worse, even when every movement drains what little strength you have left.

Then comes the silence.

You used to communicate in words. Now even speaking feels unbearable. Heavy. Hollow. The thought of conversation alone makes me feel sick, as though I have nothing left to offer anyone. Somewhere along the way, my pursuit of happiness led me down a path so dark I didn’t even notice the warning signs until I was already lost inside it.

And sometimes I wonder how long a person can spiral before they finally hit the bottom.

Part of me craves the crash. Not because I want destruction, but because at least then the suspense would end. Like finally reaching the last scene of a horror film you never wanted to star in. Maybe then I’d know there’s nothing left that could break me.

But beneath all of it, one question keeps echoing louder than the rest:

Where did I go?

The person I am now doesn’t feel familiar. The thoughts in my head, the heaviness in my chest, the emptiness in my voice… it doesn’t feel like me.

But if this isn’t me anymore, then who am I?

Folly Field Beach-Hilton Head Island South Carolina

The term “King Tide” is a non-scientific term used to describe the highest seasonal tides that occur each year. For example, in Charleston, the average high tide range is about 5.5 ft., whereas during a King Tide event the high tide range may reach 7 ft. or higher. These tides occur naturally and are typically caused when a spring tide (when the sun, moon, and earth align during a new and full moon, increasing tide ranges) takes place when the moon is closest to Earth during the 28-day elliptical orbit (known as perigee).

The effect of individual King Tides may vary considerably. In some cases, they may barely even be noticed. In other cases, a King Tide may cause coastal erosion, flooding of low-lying areas and disruption to normal daily routines. This is particularly true when a King Tide event coincides with significant precipitation because water drainage and runoff is impeded

South Carolina State Flag

As Hurricane Dorian is approaching the east coast with an uncertain path, the popular beach and resort area was not as busy as usual.  Visitors seemed to be enjoying the rough surf in the evening with boogie boards.  The caution flags are flying to alert everyone of the strong rip currents now happening.

  Thanks for visiting 🙂

Coastal areas are affected by low and high tides twice a day.  Fishing, water sports, a visit to the beach and most of all when boating one should be on the watch for a change of movement in the water.

Daytona Beach Florida allows parking on the sand. Tourists enjoy this cool way to tailgate. It really is fun and all is great unless you decide to leave the car parked and take off for a walk without knowing the tide change schedule.

Most resorts and popular beach areas post this information onsite usually at the lifeguard stand.  You can also find this information in the local newspaper or on the web at US and Canada tide charts

I hope this beach tip is helpful and keeps the flip flops from floating away 🙂
