oceans are so serene and beautiful. oceans are so black and peril. my ocean changes frequently, i don't have much control over the waves. some days the waves are a sparkly blue, with warm sunshine warming it through and through. it sways so calm and lazily. other days not so placid. just like that the waves turn black and freezing, and the water crashes, smothering any beauty or peace in its sight. i on my small boat, have to ride the waves no matter what, they are mine of course. when the sea storm rumbles and brews i whisper to myself βdon't drown don't drownβ don't drown. i refuse to let my ship sink and go down. why you ask? well.. because i force myself to think of how stunning the ocean is on the good days, and how much my ocean can withstand on a stormy day. even if it is easier to let the water push my body under and take me, i will not drown.
when you are in a low place, recall what a more beautiful "ocean" looked like. everyone has dark days and peaceful days, find a balance. find the strength.
