Thalassophobia

When I was a kid,thalassophobia wasnt an issue at all for me.When we saw a place that can b turnd into a swimming pool,we(cousins n I) used to swin n caused so much of chaos til one day when we came bck,I saw my uncle was getting rdy to make a police reprt assumin we went missing.Most of the time,the biggest rgrt will be when we went too deep into the jungle to reach the sea bcz of the tides.U can oni see water if u go deeper,othrwise its full of mud at the nearest shore and we have to walk al the way bck hm once done.The hungr,thirst n lassitude wil b devastating yet our retrd brain wil nvr learn frm it to pre- plan food n drnks back then.Luckily no Naegleria Fowleri ,rare amoeba found only in freshwater nvr enter through my nose and ate my brain,credits to my country cz pathogenic species of N. fowleri have not been isolated from Malaysia bck then(up to 2011,no idea abt nw).That name N.Fowleri was a pain in the ass word durin micro viva,the whole subject indeed.Whenever we gt caught for swimin in ppl's prprty or we saw the owner cmng,we wont run bt we walkd to him and admt our mistks n in return we used to went bck home wit sncks n chips despte our 'crime'.I rmbrd the stry that sun n wind tryin to prve who is great by makin a man gt off his coat quicker.The hrdr wind blew,the tightr the man clutched his coat to him but the sun cm out frm the clouds n smiled kindly n he mopped his brow n pulled off his coat.I learnt since then,gentleness n friendliness were alwys strngr than fury n force.Frndly apprch n appreciation can make people chnge their mind more readily than all the bluster n storming in the world.
