"Now the ocean rises to my knees,

before we know, we'll be swallowed by the sea"

To many times I'm finding myself out of my depth, and I'm scared.

I'm scared about having to grow up and make decisions, life-changing for both myself and those around me, and be wise about life, not looking just to please myself, but actually needing to think about how what I do is going to impact my friends, my family, strangers, the world.

The prospect of moving forward is exciting, but can I just look to the horizon without worrying about when the tide is going to come in?

I'm so not ready to be swallowed.
