1. The Existential One
To all the fish who swam before me, paving the way for land-dwelling creatures like myself. Without your dedication to evolving, I would not be here today, writing this book. Respect.
2. The Self-Deprecating One
To my teachers, who said I’d never write a book. Look at me now—an accomplished author of at least one sentence.
3. The Mysterious One
To the person who truly understands this book. If you exist, please seek medical advice immediately.
4. The Scientific One
To my 60% shared DNA with fish—without you, this book would be biologically inaccurate.
5. The Supportive One
To my family and friends who have supported me on this journey. Your patience and encouragement mean the world. Also, you’re partially responsible for letting this happen, so… well done?
6. The Philosophical One
To those who seek meaning in every word, every phrase, and every book—this one is going to be a long ride for you.
7. The Totally Random One
To the goldfish I won at the fair, who taught me that anything is possible, including living so long!
