So you've talked about sailing quite a bit. How is it? Whats it lile? Why you love it so much? Isk if I already asked this but have a food day

sailing is the most privileged ass sport and i always feel bad talking abt it bc thats so obvious but like i have so much fun doing it that i cant help myself. I literally get so much joy every summer being out on the water and spending all day in the sun and getting to swim and spend time with my friends its all just so amazing. Ive always been shit at sailing bc i used to be afraid of the wind (which is obviously Not Convenient) but bro its just exhilarating being out there and getting splashed by the waves and knowing if you do something wrong you’ll end up in the water but thats ok bc that just makes it another memory to have to cherish (even if u and your crew dont weigh enough to flip the boat back over and have to hang on the centerboard (keeps you stable in the water/flips boat back over) and hang on it until you both get bruises on your arms 🤪) (fam i have so many bruises from sailng bc u have to fuckin Leap across the boat a lot of the time and i fall so often 😂 i have a bruise from July that is still on my leg rn). 

im such a shitty sailor tactics-wise but i honestly think that makes it better sometimes because i dont worry as much about winning im rlly just there to make memories and have a good time and spend time with my friends yk? like me and my crew from this summer sailed together in the fall and got crushed every time we raised but we have so many jokes abt being in last and j in general collapsing in laughing hysteria. now we’re gonna sail together this winter and we fucking bombed the first day and got 4 last places and 1 second to last and we’ve already set our goal to be to get Most Improved at the end of the season bc we can only go up from here ya know 🤪 idek i just love it so much and i have such a lovely squad of friends ive made there and just so many happy memories literally j thinking about it has made me so much happier thank u sm for this ask 💕
