Ever since I was young I've always loved swimming in the ocean.
Never lakes.

Lakes are cold, and dark, and still, and get deep too quickly.
No matter where you are, you always feel like you're too far from land.

Oceans are movement, laughter, warmth, and life.
You can swim out as far as you want, and the comforting push of gentle waves will always guide you back to shore.

There's peace in that.
