On each dive deeper the pressure of the water becomes more and more unbearable. It feels like you want to cave in and break down. Like a submarine lost in uncharted waters, unable to see or navigate. You call out mayday, hoping for help, but help is so far away. Too unknowing of your particular situation. How one small thing goes wrong and destroys the ship. But that small thing could take days to ye...

Today it started to snow as I was doing the dishes for my mom, I watched out the window in front of the kitchen sink forgetting what I was supposed to be doing at that moment. I stared in awe at the tiny beautiful sculptures made out of snow for about 5 minutes before my mom told me to continue doing my chores. When I finished I went into the living room and just sat at the window looking at all the snowflakes. I would love to be out there but my dad won’t let me because it’s too cold for me right now.
