海の

"All men should strive to learn before they die, what they are running from, and to, and why." - James Thurber

humans are simple creatures made complex by their own little hands. these creatures make themselves feel better in times of crisis with two main solutions. the first will look at someone who's worse off than they are to reassure themselves that they are alright. the other will turn to something bigger than they are to remind themselves how insignificant their problems are.

i belong to the latter. i am a child of the sea, the sea is my textbook and my teacher. sometimes i lose myself in it and nearly drown, but i am still here. still here, sitting, waiting for the next wave to come in and wash me clean.

私は海に属する。
