I Went to the Seaside for Ten Days on Vacation: A Journey of Relaxation, Adventure, and Discovery

Swimming in the ocean is not like swimming in a pool. It is unpredictable. The water moves with intention. It pushes and pulls in ways that require attention and respect.

But beneath that unpredictability is freedom.

Floating on my back, I looked up at the sky. The horizon stretched endlessly in both directions, and for a moment, everything else disappeared.

No emails. No schedules. No noise of daily obligations.

Just water, sky, and breath.
