Swimming is fun.
But if you're like me,
and you can't swim that well,
sometimes you go under from time and time again.
But you always come back up, eventually.
Life is kind of like that.
One day you're just walking through the water,
and it's a bit too high,
and then your foot slips.
You go under.
You panic.
and you come back up,
eventually ,
coughing and gasping for air.
Sometimes,  if you were under long enough,
it takes you a minute to get yourself back together.
This happens a lot in life, well, to me.
You're just out living,
and suddenly..
you're in a knee-deep pool of emotions.
Maybe it's because of stress, or drama, or maybe it's nothing.
But whatever it is, it keeps building up and up,
and you can't really do anything,
so you just kind of accept it.
Eventually, you end up to where you're in up to your shoulders,
and it's getting harder to stay up.
You try to get out, but you cant, and that only makes it so much worse.
You're stuck.
You're going under.
And sometimes you come back up after a bit, and eventually you're fine.
Sometimes, though..
you're not too sure if you're going to make it back up again.
This is my first post, so please be kind! I always accept constructive criticism.
