Anyone ever felt this way?

[XMermaidMarinaX]

Sooooo~ I was wondering? Has anyone ever felt this way?
Even in Florida it gets cold to swim.. so it can be tough. I've had multiple occasions I either glance at the moon, or at the water.. and I can't focus. My main thought it that water.. becoming one with its tranquility under the surface. One time I found myself in my tail underwater before I was unable to swim anymore, and just flicking my fin side to side like that of a shark. It felt so natural. I didn't even notice I'd needed air! So one time at my friends pool.. the water was so deep.. clear... I was standing on my toes at the very edge, and wanting to jump in. But I felt the water with my toe and jerked back. It was icy but I still kept looking out through the window. Another time I was just standing by the water at my happy place. It's seriously gorgeous. Its a small cove only available in low tide, and I was like "TAKE ME AWAY" out of sheer boredom, the sea ran towards my toes. My friend said "Haha. Looks like you truly are a fish!" because every time I said that it happened.. As a tiny child, 1, I would run up and down the pool trying to jump in. My dad would be swimming to keep up and catch me. But then something happened and I didn't swim until I was 9. :( But still.. has anyone ever felt that deep longing and connection to the water? Where all you want to do is swim?

Canadian water is ALWAYS cold. I got used to it. LOL there's nothing like jumping in and having the wind knocked out of you. I didn't learn to swim til I was a teen and pretty much got frustrated with myself and started throwing myself off the dock. I was really sick as a kid and just couldn't do it.

I actually have "Be water" tattooed on my wrist. We should all feel the connection because water= life. We evolved through water, we're born from water (in utero), we are made up of water... water is amazin!

I think a lot of people do feel a deep connection with the water, some more than others. My boyfriend couldn't care less about swimming, he likes it but he is ok without it. I, on the other hand have been itching to go swimming since winter started.Warm weather is almost here!!

I'm going swimming tomorrow. I swear, when I heard about the Sunday swim thing... Well I started losing it a little.. I began forgetting the names of things.. I said that Adhesive sticky things.. I could close the end of my tail with that. and Bobby pins, I was saying those little hair things to secure my shells to my hair :D But really, I found the whole 'Take me away' with the ocean thing cool :D

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I have a VERY strong connection to water. The other day I had a hard time focusing at work even. ALL That was on my mind was water and the need to seim. I havent even slipped into a mermaid tail yet. But water is my element... Its in my soul. I love it. I remember my first time in a pool and my first time scuba diving in the ocean. Nothing compares to the feel i get 40 ft below the waves. Its literally the most peaceful thing I have ever known.
I have always believed that people are tuned to certain elements more then others. My bf for example seems to be incredibly fond of fire (not in a pyro sense) but i rarely see him get burned. *shrugs* its just one of those things. And its natural that I should be water driven. my astrological sign is Cancer the crab. My mother was a Cancer and my father an Aquaris. It's literally in my blood :p

[Mermaid Wesley]

ohhh yes. i get physically... well not quite ill but i get more nervous, jumpy, tense, irritable if i dont swim in a long time... like now. i just drove out to the ocean today just to look at it. i need my ocean soon or i may have a nervous breakdown :)

[Ariel-Starfish]

If i can't go for a swim two times a week, I'm getting a nervus breakdown... lol really.

[SeaGlass Siren]

The rocking and crashing of the waves lull me to sleep. I love being near the water too!!

[Mermaid Enhydrina]

Definitely. It feels like the water is almost calling to me, even if there are alligators sunning them selves less than thirty feet away(yikes!). Yeah I probably have a problem, but I feel (sometimes foolishly :P) safe in nature, especially in and around water.

@Mermaid Melusinah, I also believe people have their element(s), I love water but am also drawn to fire and sometimes air(:P). Guess I'm just indecisive. That or I'm some type of aquatic dragon at heart. :)

[SeaGlass Siren]

i'm a fire element (leo) so i think it's pretty dern wierd for me to even be attracted to water. eh well opposites attract no? lol..

[Mermaid Hamant]

YES. lol I totally get what you are talking about. I go absolutely crazy in the winter when it is too cold to swim. I feel drawn to the water all the time.

[Mermaid Wesley]

i dont feel weird anymore :D but i keep telling people I miss my ocean. they dont reealy get it. Also i do call the ocean "my ocean". i was raised on sand and salt water. I cant wait for it to warm up!

Yeah, I totally get this... I often have a very hard time seeing water of any kind as being dangerous, despite the fact that I have had two very close calls when I almost drowned. Both times I felt so peaceful, there was no panic, no 'omg, I need air!' Thankfully, my natural buoyancy got me to the surface both times (I float like a cork, lol).

I've been like this my whole life, to the point of endangering myself. I go into something just short of a trance with water. I used to jump off my great uncle's deck just to be in the pool, back as a toddler. I've been pulled out of that pool four times, a public pool once, and a small lake once. All this happened before I was nine. Then my dad got us a pool so I'd be able to learn to swim, and nothing bad's happened since. Now instead of jumping into water, I end up staring at it. I stare out at the pool from my room at night, and I stare at Lake Michigan when I'm in Chicago. Basically, if I know there's a large body of water nearby, I need to see it. The last field trip I took in Chicago, I turned with the bus to get every possible glimpse of water. When I went into the city for my latest hospital stay, I went stir-crazy because I couldn't see the lake at all- not from the road, and not from the hospital. I was getting anxious until today, because we're just now getting our pool set up, when it's usually up in May, and my parents won't let me go anywhere else to swim. Today I got to swim while the pool was filling, and even the two feet of water in the half- filled pool felt amazing. I love water!!

Oh yes. The entire three years I was in Portland, I was miserable- not just because of circumstances but because I was without the sea. People say, "They have a river." And... to me, for me, that is not the same, not even close. Especially a polluted one that feels half dead, and you can't even feel that vibrancy that comes off a healthy (or healither) body of natural water. Yes, there was a lot of incredibly beautiful nature there. But the ocean was hours away, and I will NEVER live that way again.

The whole time I was there, I played ocean videos, sea related movies and shows, read nothing but sea related articles, and went to the Portland zoo as often as possible to see the Steller's Sea Cove exhibit which hosts sea lions who've been injured and can't return to the wild. One has only one eye. :) One of those big pinnipeds used to love to come up to the glass and press his nose against it right in front of my daughter's face. SO cute.

I came back to San Diego, and I live in an apartment on the cliffs over the sea now, and I've never felt so lucky.

[Triton-Mahtlinnie]

I am definately the same way. Whenever I'm near a body of water, the only thing I want to do is jump right it. Which is bad, because Seattle is surrounded by water. It's a short walk to the ocean, or to one of our several lakes.

There's also the fact that I work on a steamship. It's torture when we're out on the water and the weather is hot, but I know I'd get my butt fired so fast if I jumped off the ship. Most people like to spend the trip on the top deck of the ship, but my favorite vantage point is to be on the bottom deck at the hatch or out on the stern. Nice and close to the water.

It is the affect of the changes in season. We all know that it is turning into its cooling period. So we mist be careful now.
