Happy Place [:

Where is your happy place?
So after time of thinking about it, mine is the water - swimming. (besides eating cookies & ice cream)
I dont care if it's a beach, pool, or river. Something about swimming really makes me feel alive.
Maybe it's the fact that I've been doing it since I was about 5 or 6, when we moved into the big house I taught myself & havent stopped since.
The way im able to think while swimming, release the stress or let go of the anger, I love it.
It's the way the water carries you, the effortless grace under water.
I also love the memories it carries. Sometimes it's the only place I can remember my dad being loving, the way he took time out of his "busy" schedule to swim a couple laps with me. Sometimes I wonder if he ever take the time now to just swim, and if he does if he thinks of me. How proud he used to be when I could hold my breath the whole distance of the pool. The way we used to race, and after a couple years I could finally beat him at it. It's like everything else didnt matter at that moment, just me & him and all the problems didnt matter at that moment.
Swimming takes me back to the childhood I sometimes crave, I love it <3.
