I remember the first time I immersed myself into this world, the first splash of the salty water and I remembered clearly, how small I felt, compared to this big world waiting to be touched by humanity, the insignificance in the ocean made my time on land much more profound, more so gave life much more meaning.

People talk about feeling a pull from the ocean: its call, their response, and a splendid union. I can’t say I’ve felt the same. My pull comes from within, it is manic and obsessive. Every other thought is suffocated by my desperation for submersion. Returning to the water is a compulsion.
