"look on white sea spray and be lonely."

Some days I feel lonely and strange, with a sadness that comes from nowhere, like fog off of the sea. The sort of sadness that is somehow both lovely and melancholy, both grey and brilliant blue. It makes me feel like a character in a movie, wandering the shore, making a bouquet of last year’s flowers and plants, and collecting seashells…empty, broken seashells like little fallen stars. I think loneliness is one of the feelings I always tend to romanticize.
