you're an ocean

we're back in krabi today after 3 days in phuket.
this is no joke, i'm not being overly drama, and i am writing this exactly how it happened.
there we were, 3 of us, swimming at patong beach. we were taunting the waves. we were tempting fate after what happened on my birthday. we went further and further out into the sea, thinking it was safe. heck, the water was only knee-deep! there were 2 other kids with us, a boy and a girl, they must be middle-eastern. the waves were big, it was fun. until the currents started to pull each one of us out.
and there we were, all 5 of us, struggling for our lives. the undercurrents were powerful, the waves kept crashing on us as we tried to swim back to shore. i gave up struggling twice. finally, my recurring nightmare came true, i thought. i do not wish to go into detail now about how i survived the 10mins of hell, but in the end, i was rescued by a jetski, i was dragged by my hair all the way to the beach. the other 4 got help from the other lifeguards. kc lost his voice from shouting. i swallowed a lot of water.
im glad to be alive. what a trip.
time to just relax. i wanna tell my stories to everyone when i get back! except my parents...

God have given you a 2nd chance my friend. Time to move on and don't think of the past. Get on with your life. There are other worst things happening in this world. Look around you..war everywhere..people dieing...children losing their parents..parents losing their children....the problem they have are much bigger compared to ours ...take care
