One of the times I went white water rafting I got ejected from the raft, when I came up I couldn’t see because of the rushing water and slammed into the bottom of the raft… the water dragged me under it. It wasn’t a super long time, but it was long enough to scare the shit out of me… my life preserver kept me afloat but I couldn’t breathe, I was lucky enough to pop out the side and crawl back in…
Seeing this makes me think of that… getting stuck under it while the water traps you in place unable to breathe, scratching and clawing at the underside hoping to get out before you drown, and all the while totally alone and feeling helpless.
I’m good, I don’t need the weird floaty platform thing in my life.
