Ironically, I really like water in the material world and am comfortable with it. I like swimming, boating, being near the water. It's the qualities of Elemental Water that push my buttons.

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that my sister has a lot of Water in her, and -- as siblings often do -- we polarized as we were growing up. She could create some extremely emotional scenes, which I scorned. She was 'sensitive' and got walked on and hurt a lot. She was empathic but had no idea how to shield. It made the less-likeable qualities of Water strike me in a far more personal way.
