But I do remember deciding to survive. And somehow, I did

Now I’m here again, different rip, different pull. This time, I see it. I know better than to fight too hard, but the panic still hits some days. Some days, I float. Others, I dread how far I’ve drifted, how long until I find calm again.

I know a bit about rip currents. They can be deadly. I learned that the hard way. Years ago, I was caught in one, not by choice. That time, it took me by surprise. The worst I’ve faced. Thought I was going to drown. Didn’t know what to do. Can’t even remember how the hell I kept afloat.
