About this listen

Salt Letters to a Younger Me is a tender correspondence between memory and tide—a series of lyrical letters written by a marine biologist to his younger self. Each letter drifts between science and solitude, salt and sorrow, tracing how the sea mirrors the human heart: its erosion, its return, its endless capacity to begin again.

Through quiet observations of coral bleaching, migrating whales, and the hush of coastal dawns, the narrator learns that every loss leaves behind a mineral trace—something that glimmers even after grief recedes. What begins as a study of oceans becomes a meditation on forgiveness, time, and the fragile resilience of the self.

With prose that moves like the tide—slow, deliberate, luminous—Salt Letters to a Younger Me is an elegy and a renewal, a reminder that what we leave unsent still finds its way home.
