One Day, I'll Swim.

Huhm, I think there's no need to beat around the bush on this 😁 Can I swim? No, I can't swim, I mean not yet. If you should push me inside a pool now, the only thing I can do is shout, nothing more, I can't do any other thing, maybe sink sha 😔. Well, I really want to learn it, and the earlier the better. I always admire people who do, you know, you see them gliding with confidence, staying afloat and all, but then I'm here struggling and being held down by fear.

Yea, there's nothing to be ashamed of, I'm scared. And I know myself very well, no matter how big or small a thing is, if my mind ain't ready, prepared or settled on it, it won't work. It has always been that way, I remembered when I wanted to learn to drive a car, everyone of my friend already know how to, but I really took my time, I waited till I was mentally set to go ahead with it. I don't rush things. When I was ready, I went myself to someone I know can take his time to teach me, and that he did, and believe me the first day I began, I was the one who drove us back home, it wasn't that much distance, probably 10mim ride. But that's how easy it was for me since I was ready too. And in less than a week, I could curve, Park, switch gears like a pro and all. If I wasn't settled yet, believe me I will still be there for the next 6months.

And that's how swimming is for me too, I really want to do it, but I don't want to be cajoled or forced too, nah. I'm already scared, so tell me ,how will I be able to learn. I need to be really ready and calm, that way I will learn effortlessly and without stress. I believe learning anything from a place of fear would end up in failure and that wouldn't want you to try again, but when I learn at my own will, even if I fail at it, I would definitely try again since I had already set my heart on it.

Truth be told, I want to really enjoy how it feels to swim, to be afloat, like, it still looks a little bit somehow to me, but I know one day, I will. Because once I make up my mind, I know I definitely will. So for now, I'm just preparing my mind. I watch people and imagine myself doing same too. At the end of the day, when I'm set to learn and go for it, it won't be out of fear but with confidence.

Don't worry, I will come back to share when I finally do, but for now, allow me take my time 🤗. And just like I learned how to drive, I will definitely learn to swim too.
