My Favorite View

    When it comes to my favorite view, the scenery of ocean is without a doubt the top choice among numerous entities of wonderful views in the world--- the spectacular sunset, the lofty mountain, and the clear blue sky, just to name a few. Viewing the turquoise ocean water, accompanying by glorious sunshine makes me calm down. Sitting at the beach is one of my ways to relax and take a rest. Upon viewing the gorgeous sea glorifying under the sunshine, with shinning reflections, it is at that moment that I get rid of all the nuisances and annoying memories. Relieved and lay-back, that is exactly the feelings arouse from my true heart and they touch me deeply.

    To trace the reason why I fall in love with this wonderful ocean view is probably at the time when I was in senior high school. Preparing for the entrance exam and faced with endless piles of quizzes and tests, my heart was wilted and tiresome. I felt my life kind of aimless, losing the compass, not knowing what I was living for, except for entrance exams. I did not know how to enjoy life and be in the exact moment. Nevertheless, the turning point that alters me drastically is the encounter of ocean. To make me calm down and release my internal pressure, my parents would always take me on an “excursion” to get in touch with the nature on weekends in order to have a temporary getaway from the monotonous and dull routine life. The intimacy of nature, especially the sea is proved on me a fabulous way to have positive effects on a person’s mindset. Enjoying the moderate breeze blowing from the ocean and appreciating the ocean, tranquility and peace were the best descriptions of my mind on the spot.

To be frank, not only do I obtain a sense of relief from the tranquil seawater but I garner my vital and motives back, which allow me to keep going and realize the great essences of life. The encounter with the ocean makes me re-recognize the purpose of life. Apart from that, I also grow various perspectives towards the entire world when I am sitting alongside the coast, meditate and immerse myself in the atmosphere of relief and peace coming from the ocean.

To sum up, I guess the dominate feature that makes see on the ocean as my favorite view is due to the fact that it brings me such a calmness, which in turn re-orients me to walk on a pace that is guided by my inner voice. Thanks to the view of ocean, it really heals my heart--- enabling me to lead a content and meaningful life.
