mumblings

everytime you go for a swim in the ocean ... you end up almost drowning ... but after much effort you manage to pull yourself out ... although not everyone is always so lucky ...
and as you lie there on the shore ... gasping for air and coughing up water while you do ... you swear to yourself that you will never swim in the ocean again ...
but sooner or later ... you wade back in ... thinking to yourself ... maybe i won't drown this time ...

So very true, and sad too. Fake invincibility?!

not fake invincibility ... just human nature ...

I'm imagining that if you were bitten by a shark, you would NOT go back in the ocean. ;-)

I have stepped on a stingray before. Oddly, I still go back in the water. But I think it's just because I'm stupid.
