WHY CAN’T I F’N SWIM?!?!?

from PIPE DREAM PODCAST Hosted by Shawn Miller, Nick Gemmell

Swimming with the kids on the weekend was so amazing. What it reminded me of was a motorcycle trip years ago where these little kids swam across this lake we we were at.... ⠀ Sounds like a good idea we thought. ⠀ We should follow them over to a rope swing. ⠀ Turns out this was a terrible idea. ⠀ The kids were able swim across no problem and I had to be picked up by a guy on a canoe because I was struggling so bad. ⠀ This feeling of helplessness was felt again swimming to a dock on the weekend with my kids. ⠀ Just like in my life, I thought I was helpless. ⠀ Couldn’t talk to my wife about things that was going on at work. ⠀ Couldn’t talk to my wife about how scared I was in life in general. ⠀ Absolutely frightening thinking about 17 years with the same person and you feel like you can’t talk about your feelings. ⠀ How helpless I felt. ⠀ Where in your life do you feel helpless, but if you just let go and communicated those feelings to explain what you are doing.... ⠀ And just tell them you don’t know what you doing and reach out for help? ⠀ How would that change your world? ⠀ Sit back and relax and listen to TODAY’S TALE FROM THE TRENCH.
