Why to the sea 🌊 🥰

Why go to the sea?

Today we met up with Emily and did the last dip of her 52weeks challenge. Twice a week in

the sea for a whole year - why?

For me I came to the sea to wash away the pain of losing someone, grief had hit me hard and we were in lock down.

The sea engulfed me and wrapped me up, protected and took me away from the world. Out there nobody knew, nobody could judge. I cried every time I reached the 5k marker, the challenge I had set my self and I called her Louise, the friend I had lost. Every day I swam out and talked to her, we shared, my fears, the waves and the seaweed. Louise sent me wildlife to see on my journey in rain and sunshine and together we have now explored my home coastline.

Now I go to the sea to feel that wonderful feeling, the chill reminds me I'm alive and the beauty out there reminds me why.
