Ashley Pepper - Natural Setting (1)

My roommates Megan Edwards and I on Thursday, September 9th, took a late night drive down to the little gazebo beach off of Riverside Drive here in Newport News. We wanted a little peace and quiet and we knew that that was the place to just relax and let our minds go. It has been a stressful week for us both and the beach is just such a beautiful place to go to relieve stress. It allowed me to figure out my boy problems and realize that I was pretending to be someone I wasn’t. It is a tough thing to realize and an even tougher thing to have to change. From this I began thinking about other things. Like the ocean. Which was very convenient considering it was huge, and right in front of me. That also helped to put me back in my place because have you ever looked at the ocean? I mean really, really looked at it? It’s huge! And to think that the same person that created that ocean, created me. Wow. It was just what I needed.
