A Beautiful Disaster

I took this photograph at Ka'ena Point in Hawaii several years ago, when my life wasn't exactly going to plan. My father was terminally ill and I was struggling for support while being away at college. I thought I could start my blog with this photo because hardships in life are like waves relentlessly crashing against a shore. After the water calmly recedes, one can only hope to be more prepared for the next surge. Without any of those waves, however, we wouldn't be shaped into the individuals we are today.
