The Pool

Truth be told I don’t know how to swim but have much love when it comes to water. After a couple of years, I had a chance today to dive into the swimming pool. I needed a break, more of a vacation where it’s me and nature.

I was a bit nervous, the water seems scary after 2 years, I had feelings of me drowning. But when I got inside the pool the next second was magical, it was a hard sunny day over where I live despite the weather and sun the water remained chill.

I didn’t feel like getting outta the water, even though I literally don’t know how to swim. It was such a bliss with the hot sun on top of your head whereas the body is sunk in chill water.

Laying down aside the pool drenching my leg in the water, I had a lot of thoughts running into my mind. From choosing a career to how to live healthy and happily, in fact how to improve me to attain the better me.

Then came a realization, I need breaks, not just me everyone who works every day. Little breaks like this helped me to become a better thinker and a better human being indeed.
