Depths of the Ocean
The ocean is such a mysterious and intriguing concept to me. It is fascinating knowing that there is life that functions entirely differently from ours. Not only do sea creatures have an entirely different anatomy, their lifestyles and communities hardly resemble ours. What is most interesting, however, is knowing that the ocean is kilometres deep, and that I’ll most likely never reach it. I have loved water since birth; I am a pisces. I can explore parts of the ocean but constantly wonder what there is in those hundreds of thousands of kilometres that I will never be able to explore.
Life in the sea is more peaceful than that on earth, for the most part. Animals think of survival and most need to kill to eat, but now what is killing animals more is the way we are treating them. Water, land and air pollution have infected oceans and seas, forever harming and changing its natural beauty, one that I will never be able to explore at its purest. The deeper I dive, the colder the ocean feels to my skin but I am warm on the inside, aware of the fact that I am seeing more and more of what I cannot see on land. I am in an environment in which I was not born to be in, yet here I am, surrounded in water, fish, sharks, turtles and coral. Everything I see underwater gives me the tremendous joy that I occasionally find on land.
