Description A/N: For whatever reason, dA replaced what I wrote originally with what I wrote for Bluey's mini memento. Weird. I'll try to write what I can remember was here originally.

When I feel (dis)stressed, I'd sometimes imagine that my surroundings are underwater. When I was a kid, I liked to hang around the deep end, pencil dive to the very bottom of the pool, and curl up in a corner until I had to (sadly) go up for air. Things are safer underwater; I'm less of a klutz as I am on land (lol), sounds and movements are not as harsh. Sometimes, though, if I'm extra stressed, I "dive too deep", where light doesn't easily reach. Things seem to faze out. So on one hand, it helps, on the other hand, too much causes a disconnect.Β Just gotta be careful (and remember to "go up for air" sometimes lol)

Sometimes deep thought can be helpful, but other times I find it can be detrimental. :/
Here's hoping yours is the former. :>

Regardless, pretty pic!

I kinda do the same, only my mental space is the cosmos. Lots of times, I'll disassociate from myself reading or thinking and then I find myself staring at something in my hand like it's the first time I've had sensory input.
