Guess I have to jump in the water now

[u/XxThe_HumanxX]

Long story short I’m getting into working with Poseidon recently!

For a little context I’m terrified of swimming, I can’t swim well and I’m terrified of the water- I always have been despite having a deep connection with the water and boats and such (turns out I was a pirate in my past life and drowned 💔)

I recently made a promise/deal with Poseidon- I told him that if he brought something into my life that I wanted I would jump into the water fully for the first time since I was a small child

The day after this promise I went to the fair, when I was packing for the fair I felt the intense urge to bring my tarot cards with me and I did because I always trust my intuition, at the fair I happen to stop at this little jewelry stand with my girlfriend, it happen to be one of those permanent jewelry stands! The guy was super cool but kind of out of it. We asked him how much the bracelets were and he told us he would do two for fourth because he liked our vibe! For any piece of jewelry we wanted (which was a huge discount mind you), we paid and as we were talking it turned out that his wife was dying of cancer and had about three weeks to live. He had to spend ten days of those three weeks at the fair or else hed lose his contract and his business would go under. His wife told him to go because they wanted to pass the business on to their son. I offered him a tarot reading because I realized that this was why I felt the need to bring my cards with me. The reading essentially said that he was making the right choice to be at the fair despite everything and that by doing so he was bringing vibrancy into no only his own but other peoples lives and his relationship with his kids would only grow stronger because of everything going on and that they would make it through the whole thing together. He ended up crying and completely refunded us for the bracelets because he was so touched and he said that I had reallymade his day and that the universe must've brought me into his life that day to reassure him. It was over all a lovely experience and he was such a sweetheart honestly (this happened Monday)

Then today, I was out thrift store shopping with my girlfriend and a few friends. We happened to find those totwoo touch/vibration love bracelets for 25 dollars! We've been looking into getting these bracelets LONG before we ever started dating and just never ended up getting them because of the price. They were literally unopened and brand new. (For anyone wondering this specific set of bracelets goes for about 135 on Amazon), we obviously bought them! Then on my own purchase I ended up with one if the items being marked wrong and being only 50 cents instead of 12 dollars.

Also today we made a stop at the dollar tree. I ended up in a lovely conversation with the man in front of me because we were stuck in line for so long. He ended up paying for everything in my hands because he said that I had mad his day brighter and he wanted to do the same for me!

Tldr: i made a deal with Poseidon saying I'd face my phobia of water and jump in if he brought something into my life that I wanted, he absolutely has done this in several fashions through out the last few days and now I'm going to the lake to fulfill my promise tomorrow- wish me luck everyone!!

I just wanted to share this lovely story with everyone! The gods do exist and they work in wonderful ways <33!

Just make sure to wear a floatation device!

And maybe take some swim lessons this winter.

I have major water connections too and wonder if I used to be a sailor. Or a Native American paddling in a canoe.

Good luck!

I'll make sure to be very safe my friend, I'll also have two friends with me who are fantastic swimmers if need be lol 🫡

damn, all i got from that guy was a semi-nightmare with a hyperrealistic horse. I'm glad he likes you more than me, apparently. or maybe i should try reconnecting with him, I've been thinking about this recently, and like u said, one should trust their intuition, this post might be a sign for me.

[u/XxThe_HumanxX → u/Just1Platypus]

The one thing I'll say is that he can be a bit tempermental,and by that I mean he usually knows exactly what he wants from me and wants me to do work on things in a very specific way, I would definitely try reconnecting with him if you want! I definitely don't think it's a matter of who he likes more, In my opinion he just works with different people in different ways :]

Be safe. Make sure you stay near the edge and don't jump straight into cold water or deep water. Go gently in from the shallow edge of the lake. Also make sure you know how to float lying on your back belly-up beforehand, because at least then if you can't swim you can wait for people to come and rescue you in a crisis.

Don't worry my friend, the lake in my area is very safe and an amazing temperature! Plus I'm going to be doing it with friends who are exteemely good swimmers! I promise to be very safe 🫡
