Hey Mer-people! So I had an argument with my ex as to why I decided to become a mermaid. He just couldn't except me for who I am and it bothered me. So this got me to thinking. I was told it was childish and I needed to grow up and leave it behind me. But to me it isn't childish, it's freeing! I love doing it!

So as the thread asks, why do you love being a mer-person? Do you get ridiculed for it?? (and) What helps you embrace it???
