a wise woman once told me to just go with the tide. don’t fight the current; surrender. in times of chaos, uncertainty, and discomfort. sometimes it is okay to just allow life to take you where it wants to. give yourself permission to not have it all together. fall apart. be a mess.

like many, i was taught to not fight the current of the ocean if caught in a rip-tide. the best way to get out is to go with it. let it spit you out. fighting against it will tire you to exhaustion. spending hours on end in montauk’s fiery ocean as a child, this was drilled into me at a young age.

the best way out is through.
