today i swam in the ocean for the first time in at least over a decade. (i didn't even own a swimsuit that fit until my best friend gave me one on my birthday). it was peaceful to be out in the water with fish swimming around me, my feet in the sand, walking along a coral reef (even though it stung at times). i could have been out there for hours, floating, letting the waves carry me out to sea. for the first time in a long time i was liberated -- i said "screw it" for being self-conscious about my body or my swim gear, and just swam and swam until i was tired and content.
quote of the day: "you smell like the ocean."
