Even as a kid I always admired the ocean. It fascinates me how the wind can carry the waves to the beach shore. How sand form shapes. Why the ocean becomes shallow in the early morning and becomes deeper later over the day. I love the smell of the sea. I enjoyed the breeze and the touch of sun on my skin. I take pleasure swimming on its water, drifting and floating as the waves carry my weightless body.
When I was younger I always have dreams of drowning, which I guess was one of my biggest fears that time. At nine, I experienced drowning. I did not realize that ocean floor can become shallow and then deeper with only one step. With that traumatic experience, I promised myself that I will learn how to swim on deeper water and so I did and the scary dreams have disappeared.
