Scuba Diving Is What Keeps Me Sane

There's nothing but me and the sea and I love it.

Scuba Diving Is What Keeps Me Sane
Trinity Tew

Ever since I was little, I've loved the ocean. The beach, sand and all, makes my heart happy. In fact, it's more than a happy place, but most people don't get it. I live to jump into the ocean one more time. But one thing that's even better than jumping into it, waist high, is jumping into the ocean off a boat with dive gear on.

Scuba diving is by far the greatest and most spectacular hobby you can have.

If you disagree, you're wrong. If you've gone diving before, you know what I mean. The ocean is wayyy cooler than land and I'd much rather spend my time pruning up at the bottom of a reef than spending my time doing anything else on land. I have salt water in my veins, it's what I'm made for. In fact, it's a running joke at my house than I'm an actual mermaid because I eat salt on everything- and not just a normal amount, I'm talking enough to where you can see the salt on every bite. I don't taste my food before I salt it, and most of the time, I end up needing more.

When I'm living a normal life up here above sea level, I dream in blues and the colors of coral. The ocean is good for me, no doubt about it. I've been itching to get back in my gear so badly that the other day, I dreamed I could breathe underwater without my regulator.

Scuba diving is my bit of Heaven on Earth and there's nothing that can take that away from me.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
