I've never really wanted to be somebody else. I think that's partly because I have been lucky enough to have a pretty good life and partly because, after close scrutiny of those I may possibly want to be, I inevitably find flaws or challenges that I would rather not have to deal. I think that is my mind's natural response to avoid the feeling of envy, but if that's the case it sure failed me this morning. I was watching 20/20 on my while I was getting ready this morning and saw something that has irrevocably changed me forever......
...I want to be her. I want to have her life. I have wanted to be a mermaid my entire life. I grow my hair out for the sole purpose of being able to skinny dip and have my locks cover the girls. I am completely in love with the ocean and NEVER get tired of being in the water. Sure I can dive and be under for hours. But dive gear is a bit restrictive. You can't effortlessly cut through the water looking staggeringly beautiful with a sparkly sleek tail and gossamer fins. She is amazing and feel slighted that I am not her.

That was awesome!!
Of course we're kindred spirits, I wanted to be a mermaid too! That girl is awesome. I want her hair. And her abs. And her tan skin. And her insane ability to hold her breath for long periods.
Soooo awesome!! Sounds like some of us are kindred spirits! From the time I was a tiny little girl, I have loved the water and thought being a mermaid would be the "it" thing to be. Thanks for sharing the vid...that was really fun to watch. :)
no wonder u are always harassing me to grow my hair out...
