Mermaids. Everyone's heard of them, everyone knows at least one person who claims they're a mermaid and some even are apart of the mermaid (merfolk) community.

Mind you, the title isn't limited to just people identified as a woman, it is titled to anyone who believes they're a mermaid (or who are).

When I was a baby at 3, I was already meant to be a mermaid because I literally couldn't get enough of the water even at that young of an age. Since then, I found myself drawn to the underwater life such as marine animals, sea life, the depths of the ocean, and the shear fact I'm a mermaid evben if I'm landlocked in the mountains of NC.

So without further adeau!

1. You have this affinity and attraction to water that makes you love the way it looks and how it creates a sense of homey-ness you don't experience on land.

2. The color blue is YOUR color.

3. You automatically love staying underwater (especially in areas 5 ft. or deeper).

4. You typically like or absolutely love The Little Mermaid because she had everything you always wanted.

5. You swim with your legs bound like you already have a tail.

6. You're filled with glee when you find out someone else loves mermaids or is a mermaid and have a friendship that is unbreakable even if you haven't seen them in a long time.

7. Sometimes as a kid you would try to have powers like the girls from "H2O" or "Mako Mermaids."

8. You have a mermaid tail in some way or form (costume, ring, tattoo, shirt, etc.).

9. Lastly, you're a mermaid at heart and have found a beautiful community that is accepting and is a home unlike no other.
