Life is like...

A sweet sunset
A silky breeze
And a soft sea

But the sun will fall into night
The breeze will get harsh
And the sea is not as soft as it appears

The night is dark
The wind is cold
And the sea is scary

You'll want to go home where there is light
But you are lost

You'll want to pull on a jacket
But you didn't bring one

You'll want to get out of the water
But you are drowning

You are scared
You are freezing
You are dying

Eventually you will find your way home
You will find someplace warm
And you will resurface and swim to shore

You will be safe
You will be cozy
And you will be dry

Things will get better
In time

But it can't get better
If you choose to not ask for directions home
If you choose to stay in the cold and not ask for warm help
If you choose to not to grab the hand coming from the surface

So it's best to get help
Even if it is hard
It could save you.
