I think it is there where I heard that drowning is a pleasant way to go.
For me it is more personal. my "heard" is drowning on my 8th birthday. It was calming. I didn't die at all though, as someone dived in at the last moment and fished me out, pumping the water out. However, just before I blacked out (I saw the person dive into the water above me), it was serene.
I remember reading that you should have 6 months of salary saved up and ready for emergencies.
I definitely don't have 6 months saved. It would suck hard.
Oh wow, that's crazy. It was good that they saw you and rescued you immediately. I have heard that children drowning tend to be silent since they don't struggle as much.
I think only the rich do.
