Dolphins

My name is Anisha Akhtar, My favourite animal has always been dolphins. I've always been fascinated by their intelligence, playful nature, and the sense of joy they seem to bring wherever they appear. There's something incredibly calming about them, and I've read that interactions with dolphins can even have a positive effect on our wellbeing and mood.

 

Dolphins also remind me of one of my closest friends. When I think of them, I think of a peaceful blue energy. Someone who brings calm, light, and happiness into my life. Just like my friend, dolphins make me feel grounded and safe.

 

There have been two significant periods in my life when I was struggling emotionally and going through difficult challenges. On both occasions, I found myself out on a boat, and dolphins appeared, jumping and swimming alongside us. One of those times, my favourite pair of glasses; also the most expensive pair I'd ever owned fell into the water. Strangely, instead of feeling upset, it felt like a small sacrifice in exchange for a beautiful moment, as the dolphins continued leaping around us. The same kind of experience happened again during another difficult chapter of my life.

 

Because of these moments, dolphins have come to represent hope, peace, and guidance for me. I see them as my spirit animal, a reminder that even during life's hardest times, there can still be beauty, joy, and light ahead.
