You are a real mermaid

You will, at some point on your mermaid adventure, get asked whether or not you are a real mermaid.

Every mer I know has been there at some point, and it is important to think about what your response is going to be. 

There are many ways to handle this question and I like to tailor my response to the audience/person I am talking to.

My go-to response is that I am indeed a mermaid and I had to make my own tail because I spent so much time on land that I lost the ability to grow a tail of my own.
For me this response is an honest one because I have always considered myself to be a mermaid. You don't need to over-complicate your story, you can keep it simple and to the point. Try to really feel the energy of the person you are talking to, especially if it is a child. Not all children are so fortunate to have parents who nurture their imaginations and they might have a hard time getting on board with you as a mermaid. That's OK! We can't get upset with them for that! It's our responsibility as mermaids to help show people that it's OK to be creative and use your imagination. Patience is key! 
​
If you believe what your saying about yourself as a mermaid, others will believe it. You need to speak with authority and confidence in whatever story you decide to go with.

When it comes to how you feel about being a mermaid, you need to take the time to decide what mermaiding means to you. There are so many aspects to being a mermaid and so much potential in so many areas, that there will always be a place for you.

It's a journey my fishes, we are all swimming at a different speed and that's part of the magic! 

You can be as real as you want to be and you can quite literally use mermaiding to transform your life and create your own reality, one of creativity, wonder, and magic!

Definitely check out this week's podcast episode as well to complete the picture!

Happy Swimming!

I always felt the single best argument for mermaids is the following from an 1883 article: "Of course there are mermaids. The man who gets up and asserts to contrary is mad because he never saw one himself.

Mermaids do not live it mill-ponds, rivers or lakes, but make their homes in the green sea. Several attempts have been made to induce a band of them to set up housekeeping in Lake Erie, but the waters are too fresh and lake Captains swear too much."
