Fishing To Calm Down

I love fishing of all types, but don't get out much these days. My favourite though is fresh water. Grew up in Wisconsin, allot of lakes and rivers there. Walleye and Pike are the most fun.

Something here struck a chord though. Swimming. I'm trying to tame the "beast" a bit by doing some swimming. Allot of places to go here in Stockholm, good old iron enriched fresh water. The smell is fantastic and I feel great afterwords. If in a pool, I like to sink to the bottom and stay there as long as I can. Another world. Lots of peace. Deep sea swimming is a dream. I've been out swimming past the 100 fathom curve. No feeling like it. Touching bottom is not an option.

And then something else happened while swimming the other day. I looked up and realized that the bridge I was swimming under was the same bridge I had chosen to check out of this sick and twisted hotel back in January. Then I watched a kid climb the damn thing and jump off.....no problem. 40 meters or so And I thought. Christ, I was so f'd up at the time I couldn't even come up with a decent suicide plan. Better days now. Still sucks, but better.

Sorry if this brings the thread down a bit.
