We were not born to be tamed.
We may be girls, but we’re not helpless.
Fear is only as strong as you let it be.
The sea is both beautiful and dangerous, just like us.
No one is born a captain. You become one.
In the face of adversity, we rise.
Our scars tell stories of survival.
We are the daughters of the sea, fierce and unyielding.
There is power in unity, in standing together.
The ocean is vast, and so are our dreams.
We are the waves that cannot be silenced.
We are not defined by the battles we lose, but by the ones we win.
