I woke up thinking today was Friday. And you know that happy go-lucky feeling you get when it’s Friday? I had that. All morning. The weather was lovely, I had a fabulous crepe from Tonino’s and I was rockin out to The Killers. Everything was awesome. And then I looked at my phone.<\/p>\n

Thursday. It’s God damn Thursday. Why?! My mood was completely ruined. But hey, there’s work to do. And then there’s this picture of the sea tweeted by @nohaelsherbiny9<\/a>. This picture…of the sea. The blue-greeny majestic and ever expanding sea. The sea that is bigger than us all, that could swallow us all without a care in the world. The sea that is an angry shock of indigo one day, and a pure expanse of sapphire the next.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I forget how truly infinitesimal my problems are. And then I see a picture like this, where the city is a horizon of nothingness and the mountains and sea claim us all. I look at the sea, and then I breathe. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
