Trying to quiet the voices that have given me depression
There is a darkness in my soul, in my heart, that I can't seem to shake. I am in the part of my healing journey, that is lonely and alone. The part of the healing journey where I wish things were different. When I wonder if I made a mistake. I need to remind myself that what really happened and the reason why I feel the way that I do. That is the hard part of my healing journey. I don't have a lot of friends anymore. When I got into my past relationship, he did a good job of isolating me. Of making sure that I had no friends. So I feel like I have no one to talk to now. Which is funny as I live with so many people. However, my family is toxic and not very understanding. I never felt like they believed in me, understood me, or were really there for me. Because of this, and because of the trauma I have been though, I find it very hard to open up now. When you don't open up, it's hard to feel a good, strong connection with people. I know part of the problem is me, but I find it hard to fix it. In my head, I have opened up and build connections with people. But at the moment I freeze, and close myself off again. Afraid that if I open up to another person that I will get hurt again.

How to Swim: Comprehensive Guide for Beginner Swimming
Ever thought about what it's like to glide through the water like a pro? Well, today we're diving into the of learning how to swim from scratch. Stay with me as we go from being a total newbie to feeling like a fish in the water. Let me throw out there - have you ever tried swimming without a clue or even dipped a toe in the water? It can be a bit nerve-wracking, huh? But hey, no worries, I've got your back! When it comes to mastering the art of swimming, having a buddy by your side is key. Things just flow better when you've someone in your corner. And let's face it, starting off in a calm pool or lake is way better than battling those wild ocean waves. Oh, and don't forget your swim goggles - they're a game-changer underwater. Not only do they shield your eyes from pool chemicals or salty sea water, but they also give you crystal-clear vision below the surface, making the whole experience way more fun and less daunting. Here's a cool trick for you: did you know that as long as your lungs are filled with air, you'll naturally bob up on the water? Sounds crazy, but it's true! Take a deep breath, tuck into a ball, and feel yourself floating effortlessly! This nifty move, called the "tuck float," helps you get cozy with the feeling of floating in water and boosts your water confidence. But hold up - let all that air out of your lungs, and watch yourself gently sink down. It might feel a bit weird initially, but remember, you can always pop back up whenever. Learning to control your buoyancy by simply breathing in and out is a fundamental swim skill. It teaches you how to manage your body in the water and gives beginners a sense of security. Now, onto the fun part - kicking! Imagine squeezing your legs close, fluttering them out, then bringing them back together...rinse and repeat until it feels like second nature! This move, known as the "fflutter ck," is key for moving forward in most swimming strokes. Oh, and grab onto anything that floats (even an empty bottle) to steady yourself while practicing those kicks. Using a kickboard or pool noodle can also provide extra support as you focus on nailing those leg movements. Next up, arms! Reach them forward like Superman taking flight before pulling back with palms meeting above your head. Want to try lying flat on your belly? Go for it! Propel yourself forward through the water serenely while using your arms. This action is part of the "frreestyle stroke" or "rfront crawl," the fastest and most efficient stroke for many swimmers. Remember to keep those fingers together and slightly cupped to generate maximum propulsion with each stroke. By combining arm and leg motions, you'll hit step four - swimming mode on! Tighten those legs as you execute smooth arm strokes, and soon enough, you'll be gliding effortlessly across the pool. Coordinating your arms and legs is crucial for a smooth swim. Try to find a rhythm, and with practice, it'll become second nature. Mastering the breaststroke technique before venturing into deeper waters is a smart move. The breaststroke is leisurely, making it ideal for beginners. It involves a frog-like kick and a sweeping arm motion for a smooth glide. Feeling comfortable without needing support is key; oh, and don't skip mastering treading water - it could be a lifesaver! Treading water helps you stay afloat in one spot by using a scissor-like motion with your arms and legs. It's vital for saving energy and safety in deep water. Considering swimming lessons from a pro coach could level up your aquatic skills. Their teachings could take you places you never dreamed of. Instructors offer personalized tips and corrections that can accelerate your learning process. They can introduce you to advanced strokes like the butterfly or backstroke when you're ready. Swimming isn't just about staying fit; it's a stress-buster and a boost for your heart health. It's a skill that brings joy and safety in water activities for a lifetime. Whether you swim for exercise, fun, or competition, the basics you learn as a newbie will pave the way for an exciting swimming journey. In a nutshell, swimming is empowering and enriching. Take it slow, practice often, and don't hesitate to seek help from experienced swimmers or coaches. With time and perseverance, you'll be swimming with confidence and flair. Anyway, hope my tips stoked the water-loving fire within you! Dive in, keep at it, and savor every moment of this wet adventure called swimming!
