Eyes Under Water

I have never written a blog before, but I love writing and talking about myself so I will start with a random question that I got when I started this. I was never afraid of drowning when I opened my eyes under water. I merely got annoyed when I couldn't see farther than a foot in front of my face. However, I have ichthyophobia. Yes, I am afraid of fish. No, I do not think that they will suck off my toes or anything. I would just prefer it if their slimy bodies were not next to mine. I went on a canoe trip with my family down a really gorgeous river. Towards the end my step mom and I had to get out of the canoe and swim it to the end. The water was about 20 feet deep and fish were everywhere. I tried to walk on water right then. I would only go to the beach knowing that there were no fish for a long distance. I love swimming in deep water a lot, but my fear of fish holds me back. I really wish that I was not afraid of something so irrational. I am missing out on some great opportunities. Playing in the sand is good though. My goal before the summer is over is to go to a beach. But this shall rap up my first post. Rest assured I have a lot to say.
