    This must be the best thing I've ever read.

    I decided, I would take to the ocean.

    if you published a book of just your drabbles, I'd buy it in a heartbeat, because this is so good.

    You have a poetic way of writing, and it's unique.

    The layout is very cute and quaint and the picture is very pretty.

    I think this didn’t flow very well. In my own opinion it flowed awkwardly and could have flowed better. Don’t take it personally, most do, it is how I personally read. Others might read it differently.

    However, where it didn’t flow well, you certainly made that up by painting a good picture in my mind of the scene. It’s like I can see the beach clearly and all that you described.

    I think you did a good job because for most people, including myself, the ocean is a place of serenity, where people can relax, calmly think things through, or forget about them for a day while they have fun. It’s different for every person but I like how the narrator describes what the beach holds for them. It makes the drabble more personal.

    All in all, you did a fine job.

    I'm in love with this layout.
    And this story.
    I love how you make your drabbles 100 words. I can never do that.
    It was written so beautifully. I loved it :D

    I love how this starts off with a description and ties the scenery in with the emotions. You painted a wonderful picture with this, and tied it all together very well. =) I like it.

    This drabble gave me a really odd feeling of... internal peace? Okay, so that didn't come out like I wanted it to. But there's something about this. My favorite part is definitely the last line. I really think it just made the whole drabble. The rest was great too, of course, but that line just summed up all of my feelings.

    I wish I could take to the ocean as well.

    Great job.

    God I loved this.
    The layout was just perfect and totally matched the words you wrote.
    I'm kind of at loss for words here so I'll just leave it at : SPECTACULAR. <3

    This was beautiful :)
    I loved how you described it all; with just enough detail, without going overboard with it.
    It made me see the scene :)

    This gave me that stomach-sinking feeling a lot of beautiful pieces give me. And then some.

    This is so...more than beautiful.

    So short but so much.
    I loved it, I really did.
    Like AliceHumanSacrifice. said, it did remind me of the Little Mermaid.
    Amazing job :)

    aw wow. This is beautifully written I must say!
    I like how it flows really well and is described beautifully.
    I also think it's amazing how you wrote this wonderful story in 100 words, it shows your skills as a writer :D

    I really liked this because it reminded me of the little mermaid. Except their situations are the opposite. Your story had a girl who wanted to be in the ocean and Ariel wanted to leave the ocean and wanted to go onto land. It was a really good read that I enjoyed very much xoxo

    Okay, first, I'm in love with the layout and picture. Both are so pretty! And I absolutely love this drabble. Once again, it's very, very pretty :] Also, I'm jealous that this is 100 words. You don't see many people accomplishing that xD
    Amazing job! <3

    Ba-u-ta-ful! I like it. The ocean always makes me wonder too. This kind of reminds me of the Little Mermaid, only you know she wondered what life would be like on land. Anyways I liked it and I am the first to comment! BOOYA!
