“Never have I ever low-key pretended to drown to get a cute bodyguard’s attention.” Gulp. We all have our summer sins, summer loves and terrible summer water sports that prove we’re not a rational species. Those are the ingredients for what I call “The Bodyguard Fiasco”, my biggest summer trauma. I have since done the inner work necessary to dare to swim in a public space again. And here I go! After not enjoying splashing in the water for some time, today I was ready and confident in my ability not to embarrass myself too much, so I could at least awkwardly enjoy a pool day. Goodness gracious, it’s hot! ☀️🕶 For future reference, 40°C summer days without AC are a nightmare, and the water’s not that much of a relief. Buuuuut… My back is more than happy to delegate some of its job to the buoyant force. Weeeeeee! I float! Weeeee! 💦🔫
