1. So I have this thing with sharks.
2. It’s a hate/can’t avert my eyes from the train wreck kind of thing.
3. I am terrified of them. Like hard for me to relax in the ocean terrified.
4. But I love the ocean…love it.
5. I have nightmares about said sharks.
6. every month or so.
7. Last night even.
8. I was in some class and had to swim with a great white.
9. Cause that’s normal.
10. To properly swim with a great white (in said dream), one must snuggle up to the side of the shark. But not too close to the mouth/teeth/scary place.
11. So of course I cuddled right into that beast.
12. Because in my dreams, I’m a boss and swim with sharks.
13. It all started when I was 12.
14. My parents let me watch Jaws at my Aunt Caroline & Uncle Bill’s and I was never the same.
15. I was actually afraid to take a bath for a few months.
16. A. Bath.
17. Then years of monthly shark nightmares.
18. Thanks, guys. Thanks.
19. I made it out without getting eaten last night, though.
20. Always a plus.
21. Pretty sure I woke up in cold sweats.
22. Drenched.
23. But you wait til shark week comes on.
24. Be glued to that TV.
25. #balanced
I love all of this. 😀
OMG! I was 16 the year Jaws came out and saw it opening weekend in Panama City (we had to go into the city to see it at that time). My parents, my best friend and I were there camping for 2 weeks and it was the middle weekend. My friend and I went thinking it would be a fun beach movie but boy were we WRONG! Apparently, there were many others thinking the same thing until the first girl was yanked under by the shark. Mommas were grabbing their small children up from their seats and running (yes, I remember them running) out with them.
I have never in my life felt such tension in a movie theater. I love the beautiful Emerald Coast ocean and the white sandy beaches but I do not like the whole shark thing. I think you and I (and probably many others) suffer from Post Traumatic Jaws Syndrome. I don’t have the nightmares but I am feeling the syndorme effects as I am writing this comment. Thank you very much Steven Spielberg!!!
