I get bored very easily. I begin something excited and I soon end up being like “ok I’m done”. That’s the reason I’ve tried all sports and hobbies you can imagine of.
At 5 years old I went to learn swimming. Maybe I asked for it, maybe it was my parents’ idea, I don’t remember. One thing I know for sure is that I never really enjoyed it, so maybe it was a way to try to love the sport and overcome any fears.
I always enjoyed the feeling of independence. I loved doing what I liked and not what others have been telling me to do. However, a swimming lesson is not like that. The coach shows you some exercises that you have to do in order to learn something new every day.
That was not the case for me though. I was constantly fooling around in the pool, doing whatever it came to my mind and I thought that all the rest were just bullshit. I was gurgling and playing and not following a thing that others have been doing. I thought that the lesson was boring as hell and my games were way more interesting.
It is important to mention here that I didn’t want by no means to get my face into the water or wet. That’s impossible Elia. I know. So I was struggling to keep my head out of the water all the damn time. There were endless pauses to wipe out water from my face and continue and stop again and continue... I think that the coach was desperate, while I was having my own kind of fun. Needless to say that I was always the last one to finish the "race" -not that I cared much about it. To myself I was a winner for not drowning.
The most crucial moment, when I decided to end my career as a swimmer, was when we had to dive into the pool. I had nailed my feet to the edge of the springboard, denying to step into the water. Another “screw you guys I’m going home” moment for me. Fortunately at the same time my parents realised that not only I didn’t enjoy the sport but it was torturous as well, as every time I was ending up turning blue from the cold.
If you want to get a better idea of how this whole month went for me trying to cooperate with the coach, watch the following video:
