Kuroshio Sea Aquarium, Okinawa

Over a decade ago, I came across this video, and it’s been a source of comfort ever since. Whenever I’m stressed, I find myself returning to it. It brings back memories of the aquarium I used to visit as a child - the soothing darkness, the dim, gentle lighting, and the mesmerizing sight of sea creatures gliding gracefully through the water. There’s something deeply comforting about it all and it holds a special place in my heart.
