Shaler, your essay really captures the grace and resilience of sea turtles, and how it mirrors your own journey.

The way sea turtles just glide through the water, taking life slow and steady, really hits home, especially in a society that’s always pushing for speed and productivity.

Your narrative draws such a strong parallel between these amazing creatures and the process of healing.

The way you talk about your healing process, finding comfort in both writing and the sea, is seriously inspiring.
