Hi everyone!
I was a member on here years ago, then life hit me really hard. So I thought I'd write a re-introduction!
The first problem was not being able to find a pool nearby where I can use a monofin, the other was becoming a mom (that was a good problem though! ) I've really missed this community, and I really hope I can make friends and just enjoy being part of the culture here.
I study music (just a newbie, but doing my best!), and now I'm feeling really inspired to try creating some mermaid music! My son is also (finally!) old enough for swimming lessons, and I want to take swimming lessons too! I guess I'd like to believe if I become a strong swimmer, I'll feel more like a mermaid. And it would be a great way to get healthy! I found some adult classes in a nearby city, I'm thinking about signing up after the virus stuff is over.
I also love fish! I have a few pet fish already. A big chunky Tosakin goldfish, 3 little white daruma medaka (a Japanese rice fish) and lots of little Opae Ula shrimp that just won't stop having babies! lol I hope to adopt seahorses (captive bred from a seahorse farm!) down the road, they're my dream pet since childhood. They need an expensive setup to be cared for properly, so I'm slowly collecting the bits and bobs I'll need.
As for the Japan stuff - I moved here from the USA back in 2011. I'm terrible at Japanese, but I'm working at it! Living here is super cool, but sadly I haven't found and mer-schools yet. I know Singapore has one, but thats TOOO far! lol I also don't know anyone locally doing mermaiding. I'm quite isolated in that regard. But on the bright side, I can visit Mermaid Lagoon at Tokyo Disney Sea almost anytime! King Triton's palace always takes my breath away. Google it! It's amazing.
I've got an Arctic mermaid persona going because I LOVE snow and ice, and the arctic in general. Plus I hate the heat and get sunburn easily, so I'd be a terrible tropical mermaid!
Not sure where I'm going from here, maybe I'll focus on the music stuff for now since that's something I can do without waiting. Hope I can make something worth sharing!
And also hope to make mer friends along the way.
