Have you ever blown out all your air so you could sink to the bottom of the deepest part of a pool? I used to do it when I was little, sometimes I would forget I was holding my breath. My dad's friend owned a dive shop and that's where I would sink. When I hit the bottom of the tank I would look up, everything above me shattering. It was always so perfect, until I remembered I needed to breathe. I pushed off the ground trying to get to the top as fast as possible, a few inches from the top I would fear I wasn't going to make it in time, the water pressure and lack of air would make me feel as though I were drowning. That's what how I feel, only I don't make it to the top.
