World Ocean's Day

“How has the ocean changed you?”

I’ve come across this question and I immediately felt emotional.

I recently just learned freediving and have been spending most of my time in the ocean. As a growing freediver, I’m learning that every dive is different. What I take with me during my descend into the water is different from when I come back up on the surface. Every ascend, I pick up something new. Every after beach trip, I learn more and more about myself, what I’m capable of, and what I want out of this life.

Being in the ocean taught me more than just being a better steward of Mama Earth. The vastness of our ocean reminded me that in everything I do, it should always be something bigger than myself; that it should transcend to other people as well. The marine creatures taught me to co-exist and be of service to others. The ocean has changed me more than I could ever imagine. It’s a big part of who I am.

HAPPY WORLD OCEANS DAY 🌊
