Hello my dear friends…
Me talking about outdoor activity are something rare because i mostly spent my daily life indoors, especially since the pandemic happened. When i read some post in this community, it just awaken my longing to some outdoor activity. I still cant do it, bit i have a lot of files i didnt opened yet during my travel last year. Last year was a rough year for me, so i decided to do something i have never done before which is going to an open trip. In this post, i will share about a water activity i only do twice in my life (this time included).
I am scared of water, i am scared to be hugged by water. It leaves me powerless and breathless. I feel so small and weak when i was inside of the water. Like i dont have the power over myself and just follow what the water’s will of me. This might be different to some other people. I talked to some guys before and he told me the exact opposite of it, he said that being in the water makes him feel like he can do anything, like he can fly, he can move his body the way its not possible on the ground. I cant understand that. No matter how i think about it, its scary.
As we can see, the activity that i shared this time are about snorkeling. This is the second time that i ever do this in my life. The first time was when i went to Sabang in 2013 or 2014, i dont remember the exact year because it was such a long time ago. At the time, i was so scared. I used the life jacket, I remember that it was an orange life jacket at the time. I was so scared that i ended up only in the water for 10 minutes, i just cant stop clinging to my friend and they might be annoyed by that so they take me up to the ground again. I cant even see whats in the water because i was so busy trying to save my life, which kinda ridiculous because my life is safe with the life jacket with me.
This is my second time snorkeling in the water. It was our last day in our 3 days boat trip. Our last destination are in this Kanawa Island to do some snorkeling. I was debating the whole time i was in the trip, should i do the snorkeling or not? I can just stay in the ground watching my boat trip friends playing around in the water. But, my friends convinced me to do that m. Since i do a lot of different thing i never do with this trip anyway, so why not. I should just do this. If i really dont like it, i can give up in the middle.
All of my friends there were so nice and kind. They kept helping me. I was the worst out of them all. I was like a dead weight that they keep have to pull and help. For that, i feel so thankful because they never left me out when they play in the water. If they only leave me be by myself, i will feel like i want to give up immediately because i dont feel the fun and joy of it.
I didnt have the picture but in the end, i found a style that suits me the most. Rather than snorkeling and see the beauty inside the water, i prefer to lay on my back and floating. I never knew nor expected that it would be so fun. I feel so calm. Its not the meditate and thinking clearly kind of calm, its the i cant and dont have to think about anything kind of calm. I feel like closing my eyes and sleep while being hugged by the water. Its so peaceful. Well, sometimes it makes me bumps into strangers because i cant see where i am going but nothing dangerous. Its still fun.
My friends and guides were all teasing me about it. They told me that i am unbelievable because i sleep even in the water.
My Friends
We cant take so many pictures while we were in Kanawa Island because we put out all of our phones in a dry and safe place since we will be playing with water all the time. So sadly, despite how much fun we have, we dont have enough documentation of it. Still, the memories will always be safely placed in my mind.
The Water
