When you open your eyes underwater, do you ever worry that you'll drown?
I learned to swim during my honeymoon. My ex-partner gave me a life vest and told me to trust and jump. It was hard to open my eyes underwater since I had never opened them before. When she gave me the life vest and inspired me to jump, I remember telling myself that this could be a new way to live... just to jump in.
