It was pretty cold in the lake, as you can see from the goosebumps. It's always the hardest to dip the upper body but once you get all the way in for a few minutes it suddenly isn't cold anymore you get to swim around for a while after, taking in the euphoric feelings that come with being immersed in water. Life is not about instant gratification, it's about the process and reaping the benefits, it's about pushing through the hard moments, to find a deeper meaning, to see the rewards those bring. Life is not easy and I think when you start challenging yourself in all the little aspects of it, the hard things become a little less difficult to tackle. With time and practice, shall come growth, with growth shall come understanding, and with understanding, shall you find meaning in what otherwise would have never existed without the journey to find it.
