One of those days you want to pretend youre deathly ill..

Today , I had my first swim meet! I was SO nervous! There were so many people there , and most of them we pretty competitive, being that I only entered for the fun of it ... I was feeling a little out of place.. I only just started swimming again this year and most of these people have been swimming a REALLY long time. Although they seperate the groups in level of expirience I was still feeling pretty jittery. My first race was set to begin and as I stood on the platform I was awaiting the annoucer ( usually they say on your marks which is where you prepare to dive and the buzzer goes and you dive in). The annoucer decided to refrain from getting us prepared and the buzzer went. I have rather slow reflexes so I was still waiting for him to talk.. it added a good couple seconds and a fail attempt at a dive which slowed me down a lot. I ended up coming last but it was only encouragment too keep practicing so I can do better next time!

In love with these lyrics

Up with your turret

Aren't we just terrified?

Shale, screen your worry from what you won't ever find

Don't let it fool you

Don't let it fool you...down

Down's sitting round, folds in the gown

Sea and the rock below

Cocked to the undertow

Bones blood and teeth erode, with every crashing node

Wings wouldn't help you

Wings wouldn't help you...down

Down fills the ground, gravity's proud

You barely are blinking

Wagging your face around

When'd this just become a mortal home?

Won't, won't, won't, won't

Won't let you talk me

Won't let you talk me…down

Will pull it taut, nothing let out

Who knew..

" My Daddy always said Childhood is the happiest time of your life but my Mom says its the time you try to get over for the rest of your life. I think my Mom is right"
-Hope Floats

I'm so happy that somebody finally said that, Ive always been so regretful of my not so happy childhood for a long long time. Hearing this finally made me feel like why do I have to feel so eager to follow the mould of everyone else? Ill be happy doing what I want at any time of my life, its not all downhill from here..
