Swim. Persevere. Dream

Peaceful is the word to describe how i feel whenever i go for a swim..

Everytime i go for a swim, i love to soak myself by the edge of the pool b4 i start my swim. Stare at the other side of the pool, setting a target lap im gg to swim for the day..Under water, i realize tt u dun hear anything else but ur own breathing, u dun see anything else but the other end of the pool..No fast car zooming past u, no people walking pass u, no any other colours but blue, no funny thoughts, no distractions. Just me and the pool..

Lap 11

Tired, on the verge of giving up this lap already but decided to stop the swim and stay afloat.. As i was floating in the middle of pool, i started thinking abt stuff..

i realize tt achieving personal dream is like swimming, swimming to the other side of the pool.. You jump into a pool, feeling calm and peaceful, thinking the pool look really harmless, enjoying the view of the pool.. But the moment u start to swim for the other end, u feel surrounded, weightlessness. U feel tt u are kicking against nothing, ur stroke feels like u are pulling something invisible infront of u, like u r fighting against something tts not even there.. U grasp for air, struggling to swim forward, trying to stay afloat..

In the water, no one sees ur struggle, no one cares abt u. You swim at ur own pace, u decide on wat pace u want to swim, swim too fast and u struggle for air, swim too slow and u feel like u are not moving forward and it becomes a mental game with urself.. I decided to swim at my own comfortable pace knowing tt im still moving forward and not struggling..

Persevere.. the most important key to reach the other end of the pool, achieving ur dream.. In the pool, only u decide on whether u want to stop swimming forward or stop half way through.. Anyone who tt is persistent enough, reaching the other end is just a matter of time..

Quitters Drown..


I'm just floating..
