If I swim out...

and the sea takes me, it's different.

I found this quote on tumblr. It was paired with a photo.

At first I thought, how depressing, another indulgent line of sadness and hopelessness, let me indulge, too.

But as I looked at it more, I began to see it in a different light.

If I swim out, meaning, if I put in the effort, and the sea still takes me, it's different, better (?), than if I just give up and let the sea carry me away.

I should be swimming, we should all be swimming, even when we feel hopeless or that the sea is going to take us anyway.
