Literature Text

The ocean is a place we all find ourselves at some point. Maybe you go there a lot.
Maybe you've only been there once, and it was enough for you.
It's easy to drown and it's easy to swim once you get things going.
It'll pull you under, sometimes you won't come up.
Sometimes it steals your breath but it's the times it gives it back that matters.

You could be under the waves and all you could feel is cold,
but that temperature eventually changes. You eventually adapt.
Most people learn to cope.

It makes you shiver.
It makes you feel fresh.
It makes you hold your breath.
It makes you smile.
It makes you laugh.

You fear it. You might run when it strays near you.
You might wait till the very last second.
Or you could let it consume you.
Am I really talking about the ocean?
