I realized how life is a voyage through the ocean. It is a continuous crashing of waves, and regardless of the journey, we all end up in the shores.

“In this type of job, your other foot will always be left in the sea.”

My grandfather said these lines to me when I was a kid. And since then I have always wondered what they meant.

As I grew older I slowly realized that when you set sail, there is always a risk of drowning and never coming back. You never know what’s going to happen. Like waves, you never know if you will be able to go back to your family or you will end up swallowed by the ocean.
