Everyone talks about the beach like it’s some peaceful reset, and meanwhile I’m fighting for my life 😭

• the sun reflecting off the water
• finding sand in my stuff for the next 3 business days
• wind noise + screaming kids
• sticky sunscreen/saltwater skin
• being wet and sweaty at the same time
• packing for hours
• carrying 900 items just to exist for 2 hours

And then everyone acts confused when I’m exhausted afterward instead of “recharged.” By the time I get home, I need like three days to recover.

I swear, beach days feel less like relaxing and more like a full sensory assault.

Am I just broken lol? Please tell me this is an ADHD thing and not just me 💀

Also accepting survival hacks because apparently normal people ENJOY this???
