I randomly started a conversation on water. Isn’t that how all conversations start? randomly… oh well.
I think this was subconsciously brought on by someone’s comment. They said I have a thing for sea creatures. I didn’t know if this is true or not, I still don’t. I just know that I love mermaids and water. I dream of talking under water. This image gives me so much life…
And yes, I blame the post I re-blogged previously too. There is so much power and truth in that post. Please read it, really read it.
The conversation took a turn to childhood trauma between myself and a friend. No it didn’t happen at the same time. But both incidents involved water slides. My friend, and I quote: “when i got out the water. smh. so embarrassing my costume was now around my waist. i dunno wtf happened between the slide and drowning that attempted taking off my costume” I laughed at this. Poor poor baby!
Mine was a kid who “fell” on me from a water slide. Our heads found each other and left me with a bump. I don’t know how long I was under water, but that experience made me swear to never ever be under water. LOL! But my subconscious doesn’t care about trauma. I am a mermaid and that’s that.
I’d love to bring my children into this world through water births {insert prayer to partner here}.
I’d love to go to the beach, it has been too long. The hustle and bustle of the city isn’t going anywhere {insert prayer to universe here}
It’s so funny, I don’t remember being fond of water – apart from drinking litres on litres of it daily. Yes I always stay in the pool extra long. By myself. Never with people, I don’t want to be pushed in. Yes yes, Paranoia is real. But I just don’t recall being so in love with water. I’ve always had the dreams. At one time, I was shopping under water. WHAT A FEELING!!!
Maybe we will get over this trauma. One day, Some day. Until then, I will have these dreams…

So I was just starting to think it and you said it….I don’t think you’re drawn to anything related to the ‘trauma’ you mentioned. That’s just happenstance. There’s actually a lot of psychological studies on this type of thing (too nerdy and verbose for this post) but….I actually think it’s UNnatural not to be drawn to water. And the reason I’m saying anything is that my theory around the house is “water makes everything better”. Colds, pain, germs, anxiety, fever, tired, wired, on and on and on. My kids know. Cold rag on the head? Fixes just about everything (Yes, I’m aware I’m outing myself as a marshmallow). Now, my joke to my, erm, adult friends is “just add water”….to anything. Barring anything electric, there aren’t a whole lot of amazing experiences in life that don’t involve water, or aren’t augmented (or made to be augmented) by water.
*my two cents
Yes yes yes!!!! Water fixes everything. I find that the only thing that calms me down when I’m either angry or very sad, is a soak. The water seems to dissolve all those extra emotions!
Exactly, ha. A cure all for sure. I’m guilty of resorting to that too when I need to wallow alone for a while. š
