I've almost drowned on multiple occasions, all accidents of course. Whether it was slipping on an algae-covered rock into a cold deep lake or being dragged down by a friend on accident, it was never on purpose. Yet I'm not afraid of water, not even the deep sea. Which is weird, you'd think I'd be afraid after almost dying multiple times. But I am not, I'm not sure I'll ever be. I do know I'll always be just a little more careful on the rock near the shore and that I tell my friends that I'm bad at swimming. I do know that I won't ever enjoy the sea as much as I used to. That my relationship with the sea will be strained. But I don't think I'll ever be actually afraid.

Strange isn't it?
