Oh god. I’m sorry for the confusion, but I actually wrote that original quote that you’re seeing. I wrote it a long time ago and made it into a text photo, which you can find here:

Notice how at the bottom it says “even the sea” by writingsforwinter.
That is my own quote, written by me, made into a photo by me. You’ve just seen it everywhere without credit so you must have assumed someone else wrote it.
I just want you to know that I did, indeed, write that quote, and reused it for my 6-word story. :)
