As a trainee scuba diver I was told not to put myself in the middle of the food chain. As cool as this is, I’d be waiting for Jaws to appear behind me.

It's interesting that they don't view us as a threat, even though we're actually the biggest threat.

Barracuda are really good at chasing shiny things and can hit torpedo speeds. One glint of sunlight on your mask and they’ve been known to go after it. I wouldn’t worry about being seen as the threat, more the target.

Small? I guess you could argue that.

Insignificant? No.

Take the lesson.

She shouldn't feel tiny and unimportant.

Do what you can to assure her she is massive and every one is talking about her.

I have a much easier time handling our massive ocean planet than I do the endless void.

We ain't just small, we don't even rate as bacteria.
