waves & deserts

ever been jumping waves in the ocean and suddenly there’s no ground beneath you?

you’re struggling for air

you can’t breathe

your whole body goes into panic

you can’t get yourself out of the water

you’re constantly struggling between staying afloat and letting the water take you down—that might just be better

ever been to the desert?

you’re okay at first, but then everything seems impossible

it’s so hard to take one step forward

it would be so much easier to stop trying

you can’t feel anything

you’re hopeless
