When I saw this prompt I was amazed!

The Sea it was always a safe place where I could stop and rest my mind. My haven.

Since I was a child, visiting this place was almost like a sacred "tour" of pure relaxation.

A homecoming that often was accompanied by some songs played by my favorite playlist.

The Sea imposes respect, life, calm and often the storm. A force of nature that can be as beautiful as it is deadly.

When I was a child, I was already in love with the sea and I imagined that when I went to the beach, there were mermaids in the water that played with us and accompanied us if we behaved well! obviously That I was very well behaved but I never saw a mermaid hah however, the passion for the sea and sea and mythological creatures grew!

The passion I feel for the sea has already taken me to many awesome and passionate adventures!

I already did Diving, I already went on a boat in the open sea and also went diving in corals, something that made me connect with the immensity of the sea.

One of the things I also like to do is sit on the beach, close my eyes and just listen the waves and smell the pure breeze.

It’s hard to explain in words the feelings I feel, This is what I feel when I see the sea! 💕

I want to mention Dr. Preeti Singh and Monoreena Acharjee Majumdar so they can read this article which I think perfectly describes the passion I have for the vast sea.

I would also like to mention other articles related!
