I work at a fast food restaurant and our ice cream is the best. I will be going to college next year, so I am working to save up. I will be studying neuroscience in college. I volunteer at a research lab now. I am an Eagle Scout. I have dark hair and hazel eyes. I live by the Daytona Beach. I like to fish and swim. I like to be within walking distance of the water. I have been wanting to get a smart car. I don't want to have to wait to charge my car before going places.
I lived in Alaska and I don't like the cold. I am hoping to retire on a beach soon. My parents are from the north, I have never done scouting. I have blonde hair and blue eyes. I have a Smart Car. I have had it for five years or so. My car helps me save up for retirement. I mostly use my smart car to get around town. I'd like to retire to Hawaii but I'd have to save up more for that. I'd prefer to retire to a place a little quieter.
I just went to the beach after work and it was really busy, it must be tourist season. Did you go swimming at the beach? Yes, I love the ocean. I prefer it when it's quieter though. There wasn't much room to go for a walk or be alone with my thoughts. Was the water more calm than it has been recently? Yes, it was calm but lots were splashing around. I swam out pretty far though.  I got caught up in a rip tide once and it pulled me out so far.  I'm always nervous about the ocean now. I know. I experienced that also when I was small. I was pulled under. Luckily it wasn't too far from shore. Very scary though. Somehow I overcame my fear. But, it's always in the back of my mind. How did you manage to overcome it? Somehow my love of the ocean was enough. I also did a lot of meditation with ocean sounds. I think that helped me to see the ocean as a calming place not a place to fear. Ultimately, I just had to get back in the water. I took it slow though and stayed close to shore for quite a while, venturing out when it seemed safe. Today, I just wanted to get past the crowds so I swam out.  I think I should try that sometime.  I'd love to get back out there again. Maybe the meditation can help you associate the ocean with calm too. Taking it slow seemed to help me. I do have some white noise on my phone, which I can play ocean sounds through.
