    I’m obsessed with the beach. It feels like a true privilege to be close to such a powerful force — the ocean, the sand, and the lush natural greens, all in infinite abundance. When I’m there, I feel fluid and strong like the ocean, soft and delicate like the sand, and light as the coastal breeze. It’s as if I can sense and be fueled by all these elements of pure, untamed energy, and I absolutely love it.
