Two days. That’s how long I was taken down by fever. Flat on my back, sweating, groaning, negotiating with whatever higher power might listen. Honestly, I felt like I got hit by a truck that reversed over me just to make sure. And then once more.
So today, what do we do? Most rational people would say, “Hey, maybe keep it chill. Tea, Netflix, blanket.” Not us. Nope. We took the car to the Belgian coast. Because apparently, the cure for fever is wind strong enough to exfoliate your face for free and rain so heavy it feels like you’re standing in a car wash. And well… read on!
At first, it was miserable. Like, “what are we even doing with our lives” miserable. But then… magic. The rain backed off. The sky turned into this chaotic war between thunderclouds and a golden sunset. Half “end of the world,” half “you’re about to see unicorns.”
We started walking. Slowly. My body was like, “Bro, are you serious right now?” But step by step, it happened: energy. Momentum. By the time I looked down at the tracker: boom! 10k steps. Yesterday I couldn’t crawl out of bed. Today, 10,000 freaking steps on the beach.
Of course, then we see another monster cloud rolling in like a final boss fight. We laughed, snapped some epic photos, and sprinted back before getting soaked, again. Dry clothes = victory! Failed in the afternoon, succeeded in the evening!
The thing is, sometimes “rest” looks like sweatpants and soup or hot cocoa. Sometimes it looks like dragging your half-broken body out to the sea, facing down a storm, and proving to yourself you’re not fragile, you’re just human.
And if you’re keeping score? Fever: 0. Beach walk: 1.
