I’m on vacation this week! With the magic of technology I’m scheduling this almost two weeks in advance but it’s still gonna be a vacation post. This week, I’ll be scuba diving in Bonaire with my dad. I am so fortunate to not have to create a large vacation budget because we do family vacations that are largely paid for by him and not me. It would be much harder to travel as much as I do without that. That being said, if this opportunity dried up on me next week, it’s something I would start prioritizing ASAP.
Scuba Diving for me is one of the best releases I have. I’m not sure if it would be the same if I could just take a weekend or go for a day trip. The combination of being out of the country and under water is freeing to me in a way I struggle to describe. The underwater world is just that, a different world. It’s like jumping onto a different planet. It is beautiful and dynamic and bright. Time spent on the boat or underwater is such a reliable way for me to recalibrate I think at least part of this is due to being fully removed my phone. I’ve gotten much better about turning off but when I’m diving I’m less likely to be wondering if someone needs me. It’s something I try to translate into daily life as well but it’s harder. Whatever the reason, diving has become one of my favorite happy places. Have a great week everyone, we’ll be back to normal next week!
