fwiw i got a lot of office work done too okay by @ej.sunshine

in le scuba, we call this the “giant stride.” it’s the safest way to enter deep water + clear the boat. you must calmly and confidently take a huge step off the boat. no running into it, no hesitating, just take a big step + go.

in my feelssss about how this is a metaphor for so much of life. i really believe what’s meant for you will find you, but it’s still up to you to step into it. ✨

one year ago: three miles off hale’iwa, 27 galapagos sharks, and @oceanramsey pointing out a shark’s eye injury, which was heartbreaking in a way i wasn’t prepared for. 🦈 still thinking about them. 🤍
