The first time I swam in the ocean, I felt like the water was crushing me.
I panicked when my feet could not touch the bottom, and I knew that no swimming pool was large enough to prepare me for feeling as small as I did in that moment.
The second time I swam in the ocean, I felt like the water was holding me.
I have heard that daredevils are born loving fear, and that was never something I could comprehend until I met the ocean skin-to-skin.
