I beg to differ.
Calm and serene is for other people's benefit.
The paddling, it turns out, is the good bit.
The paddling is what it is to be alive.
I once overheard my father tell someone, I knew I had two choices.
Get over it or lose my daughter.
I faced a similar choice.
live life according to my own standards and risk losing my family, or live according to their rules and never get the opportunity to meet myself.
I took a calculated risk.
And against all odds, I won.
Thank you.
