Life is like an ocean. The waves serve as our problems in life. There are big waves, small waves, and sometimes there's no wave at all. In short, life can throw us waves as many as it wants. But there would be a point in our lives when the ocean is calm and serene. And you need to remember that that is not the end of it. You need to know how to surf and face the waves or else you'll drown.
Life starts off shallow, and as we look farther out toward the horizon in front of us, it becomes deeper, much like the ocean. And as we get further away from the beach, some may become disoriented due to the vastness of the water.
Just like you, within my more than two decades of exploring, I am still learning how to surf and swim along the currents in order to survive. There are times when I lose hope, let my thoughts consume me, and simply let myself drift in the waves, but in between such times, I'm always able to meet individuals who will assist me in coming out of the water and allowing me to breathe.
I hope you find the strength to face the waves, no matter how drowning they may be. I hope, you too, will come across people who are eager to join you in surfing whatever currents you may face. You are not alone, please don't forget that.
