I am both terrified and in awe of the ocean. As someone who enjoys swimming, the water just calls out to me. When I am feeling particularly brave, I also like snorkeling and getting to see all sorts of sea life.
At the same time, the thought of waves, tides, undercurrents, getting injured by rocks and corral, encountering dangerous creatures, and the unhygienic nature of the ocean has me thinking twice about going deeper than chest-height. Whether that is cowardice or wisdom is open to interpretation.
It does make me wonder about what opportunities in life I am missing because I am thinking of all the ways it can go wrong. I hope that I can soon get to the point where I am brave enough to take the plunge.
