“Why do I choose growth over comfort?” ✨ I remember asking myself this after the lip of a set wave hit the back of my head and I felt every single vertebrae in my upper back and neck crack while getting tossed around underwater, popping up ten seconds later realizing I’m in the middle of the jungle traveling alone paddling out to a new spot double overhead, ridden with jellyfish along a shallow coral reef, a fat treadmill of a current running out of a zigzagging keyhole. Every palm tree looks the same, and here I am, the only woman in the lineup wondering the hell I got here? What kind of lunacy is this — pushing myself so hard instead of melting into the plush, soft coziness of my comfort zone? What kind of twisted quest for dopamine has driven me to choose this life?
I don’t know if I could ever describe the feeling of that inner fire that lights up and drives you forward into the abyss, the unknown. A refusal to settle into archaic societal standards, an exploration of self through uncompromising adventure. There is no rush. There is no rush. ✨🌞
