She grew up near the beach, it was paradise. You know how they describe them. Swaying palm trees, white sandy beaches, blue sapphire seas, the ocean stretching out as far as her eyes could see… and the coolest part – It was all hers! Not much tourists ventured out that far, so there she could dream, and make up stories, and find secret places, and laugh, and sing, and swim. She loved swimming. A dolphin – that’s what they called her. Sometimes, when it was low tide, the ocean dries up so much that she could literally walk all the way out to the edge of the world, right where the reef came to an end and the ocean began. She had a favorite rock right up there, and as the ocean roared around her, there she would sit and imagine and make up stories. Although the ocean was so big, compared to her little self – she wasn’t afraid…never afraid. She felt free, and happy. For that’s when time stops for her, and her little heart starts thumping for all the right reasons…
