Lungs empty. GoPro in hand. Still here.

The one time that I almost died while I was in Honduras, my cousin found a really cool spot that inhabited old zoo animals. They had a zip line that you could jump off of. They even have little kayaks that you could jump in and take out into the quay. There was two sections of the quay. One of it was shallow water and another part of it was like the deep blue ocean. One of my cousins was paddling close to where the quay ended. His kayak actually capsized and everything fell out of his kayak, including his sunglasses and the GoPro. We kayaked back out to the area where he capsized and I actually jumped in the water. And at that moment I realized that being in the water where you can't see what's below or around you is like my biggest fear. So as I'm swimming, my heart rate starts to increase and I start to really just feel myself. I can hear my heart beating faster and faster and faster. I could feel panic start to set in. I gathered my composure and I just continued to swim in the direction that I, the area where I could vaguely see the bottom of the ocean floor. And at this time I'm one track minded. I'm like, I really got to get this GoPro. I've already put myself out there as far. As I'm swimming, I see something that's, that I can tell is not natural. It's like a selfie. It's just a little stick, probably this big. So like I went back to the top. I kept trying and I, the last time I took my goggles off and I spotted it and I just went with my eyes closed. It's kept going down until I grabbed it. Boom. I grabbed it with my hand on my way up. I could feel that I had no choice but to get to the surface. Like I was completely out of breath. I couldn't breathe in. Like I was done. Like, okay, this is the end. And then boom, I popped out. I had the GoPro on my hand. Like finally made it over the kayak. I was able to grab a hold. We were able to save, save the footage. After that moment, I was like, wow, I just felt so prepared for life because nature is, you know, the biggest beast in the world. Like it's something that humans don't even stand up to. And, you know, it just really showed me that, you know, I could survive through anything and that, you know, I could put my mind to anything and achieve it regardless.
