RE: The season started! =/= Die Saison ist eröffnet! 👹🍣🎎 Wonderful Japan ENG-GER
I know how much you have been looking forward to this @maxinpower :) so I am thrilled to hear that you had a great time! Also, I must say - that water does look quite tempting! Calm too!
At first I was still a bit cautious and I didn't jump into the waves headfirst. As you get older, you start to know how to approach things, so I went into the water in a very calm and relaxed manner.
I admire your confidence... even if it is cautious confidence. I think I may have mentioned this to you before, or perhaps someone else around here... but I have had two quite traumatic experiences in the ocean in my life time and because of that I no longer have the confidence to get into the water and swim.
I am happy to walk up to about waist height - but that is where I draw the line :) Though I will say that I would like to overcome that insecurity and fear... I guess it just has to be initiated with the right person who makes me feel relatively comfortable in a situation which makes me feel anything but.
And as the good weather is likely to continue for a few more days
Enjoy it! I have no doubt you will :)
I also had some bad experience in the waters when I was a child, but fortunately I don't really remember it. I won't say I am a good swimmer, but I enjoy it really much to jump into the ocean.
I wish you could overcome that fear of deeper water somehow. As you said, you need the right person on your side, or maybe not only one but a group of friends could be a good ideas too. Take little steps without putting yourself under too much pressure. Who knows, maybe eventually you will want to go in deeper by yourself!
Thank you very much. I already went there again :)
