Can We Normalize This Please?

We all, at some point on our mermaid journeys, get hung up on the perfect tail and the PERFECT look. Somewhere along the way we forget that how we feel matters too...

I would love to see us all normalize the use of leggings with or without fins. There. I said it.

I'll also say this extra loud for the fishes in the back:
YOUR MERMAID TAIL DOES NOT MAKE YOU A MERMAID.

In my honest opinion, mermaiding is a state of mind and a way of being.
We can get so caught up in the material excitement (which can be lots of fun, I'm not going to lie and say it isn't) that we forget there's more to it.
In this video I opted to wear leggings because TBH I am very nervous to swim in such deep water. It only occurred to me once I was underwater that this was one of the most magical swims I've had in a while!

I felt secure in knowing that my legs were free if I needed to escape my monofin quickly, and that helped ease my nerves in the deep water which allowed me to really have some fun!

It also brought me back to my early days when I used to hit the pool with nothing but my swimsuit and goggles. Back then I was focused more on how it felt to be underwater vs what I looked like.

This is something I hope to explore more here on the blog. 💖

All that said, what are your thoughts? Do you have a go-to comfortable look that you like to swim with as a mer? Leave me a comment and let me know!
