Proceed With Caution
In the calm, chlorinated, shallows of our modern world we are taught to tread lightly.
To be fearful,
To compromise,
To settle.
This is not our world.
Our world is the deep.
The violent, unforgiving, world of the open ocean.
A world where only the strongest survive.
You eat what you kill or you don’t eat at all.
Everything is trying to take you out.
There are no lifeguards in the deep.
No participation trophies.
No “A” for effort.
No one is coming to save us.
So we train.
We train alone.
We train everyday.
Forever forward.
Not to impress others,
But to be able to survive the storms.
The storms in our minds.
This is not a brand.
It’s a lifestyle.
A warpath.
A code.
A brotherhood for those who refuse to settle.
Those who would sooner die than stop swimming.
This is not for everyone,
But if what you are reading strikes a chord,
It just might be for you,
And if it is....
WELCOME HOME.
