Trisha, I had real anxiety reading the beginning of this essay! Beautifully written. So many good lines and observations.
I loved this, "But as I grew older, the daring deeds and epic quests that I had dreamt of never manifested and at 25, I was still waiting for my Hogwarts letter!" What a metaphor for waiting for life to happen to us. It's so fun to see how you flipped the script and went to seek adventure instead!
36 km in open seas Jesus Christ. I was gasping for lungfuls of air imagining you drinking sea water! Well done!
Is there another essay coming up about the Goa swim (and the jellyfish?) if yes, you’ve a reader waiting. Swimming clearly makes you come alive. :)
