You all know that I have a completely irrational fear of sharks. Noone wants to be attacked or even greeted by a shark, but I fear they will come up on shore and chomp on me while I am sunning myself on the beach. I also fear they will jump into a swimming pool and have me for lunch. Pools… yaa… pools. So anyway… for some crazy reason my YouTube shorts feed is filled with people having close encounters with Great White sharks. I know they will keep showing up if I watch them, and my anxiety will go through the roof. Do I scroll past them? NOPE! I click on them and freak out. Every single time! I love butterflies and flowers. I should click on those little videos and feel peace and tranquility. Maybe even get a few ideas for the garden. That would make too much sense. I just clicked on a video right now of a shark slowly sneaking up on a diver from behind. The diver turn around and the shark took off after a little boop on the divers head. Well I am freaking out now. Oh no… another shark video…click.
