Underwater

18th July 2009

Hello internet,
I've been going night swimming pretty often for a couple weeks. I've always loved being underwater. I feel so at peace, calm and happy. I love the sound of the bubbles from my mouth or nose floating up. I love the silence of being underwater. I love it how when you drop a rock while underwater, it makes a different sound compared to dropping a rock on land.

As I swim laps in the pool, I always have a lot of thoughts going through my mind. Most of the time, I think of topics to blog about or memories from the past. At other times, I would be amazed at how beautiful the water looks underwater. Have you ever noticed how beautiful the surface of the water on top while you're underwater? Have you ever noticed how beautiful the light from above makes the tiles of the swimming pool underwater shimmer? Have you ever noticed how beautiful the little sparkly bubbles as they float up that were made from your hands when you push your hands downwards in the water? I always wanted to try paint a painting of moving water, one day I shall.

Just floating on the water and staring towards the sky is magical, I wish the city wasn't that bright so I could see the stars but just being able to look at the moon is good enough. I go very deep in my thoughts wondering about how different the colour of the sky is from one end to the other. I'm not a good swimmer to be honest, I pretty much swim like a walrus. One of my favourite thing to do underwater if just twirling around and around, not standing upright but sideways like how mermaids in movies twirl underwater.

I am 100% sure that I would be a water bender if I was ever reborn in a world that has four nations. Goodnight, internet.
