A new awareness and love for freedom

[muniyaakter]

I shouted: “ Go ahead, I'm catching up with you .”

But without a fin, I couldn't move a meter. In those minutes fighting against the sea, I started to think about my life, about everything I had done, and what I hadn't done yet and that made me unhappy .

Shortly after another boat came up to pick me up.

At that moment I had completely lost my clarity.

But I didn't have a moment's respite. As soon as I sat down egypt consumer mobile number list I looked to the left and saw the biggest wave of my life coming towards us.

The next moment I saw the world around me spin for fifteen seconds, then darkness.

When I opened my eyes, the bow of the boat was above my head and the water was up to my neck. In front of me, a family with a small child who was crying. They dove to the surface, and I never saw them again.

I stayed there for a few more minutes, but I had started to breathe badly due to lack of oxygen.

Before diving I said to myself: “ Manuel, you have to get out of here ”, and instinct took me to the left.

I found a hole in the hull and made it to the surface.

The current was still strong, but whereas before I was struggling to swim, I had now reached a state of peace , resignation, tranquility.

I clung to a piece of wood together with other people, until the boat picked us up.

I was safe.
