Confession #39

Confession: I'd give just about anything to be swimming in the creek in my hometown, right now.

To dive into the water to see how far I can go.

To sway along with the waves.

To feel the water wash over me, and tension leave my body.

Every stress, every worry, every frustrating feeling I've had lately.

They'd all be gone.

I'd get to just lay on the dock, talking to my cousin.

Watching the trains go by.

Maybe go jet skiing, it's been so long.

I remember I used to be so scared to go swimming in there. It's legit 20-30 feet deep, and you can't see a damn thing in the water unless its within like 6 inches to the top. I remember seeing these black and purple fish once, and freaking out cuz it touched my foot. I remember going swimming with a cousin and her friend, and swimming all the way across to the campsite, and getting halfway back across and seeing my other cousin toss one of his snakes into the water. Everyone was screaming and you could see the snake's head bobbing up and down. It was pretty hilarious once we were all out of the water.

*le sigh* I don't even know when I'll get the chance to go home and go swimming, the weather back home is always so weird during the summer.
