AUTUMN MERMAID VIDEOS TO RELAX TO
The autumn season is here. The days are getting shorter and shorter and the nights are getting cooler and more quiet. The leaves on the trees are changing colors and the lake temperatures are dropping steadily. While I love the fall season, it is always a bittersweet time of year for me. As a professional mermaid, the coming of fall usually means going back to my day-job and spending less time doing what I enjoy… which is being a professional mermaid and making videos on YouTube.
I thought things would be different this year. I quit my day-job at a school to pursue my dream of being a mermaid performer and content creator fulltime. Although this has certainly improved my mood and my overall health and wellbeing, I am still finding myself feeling a little blue about parting ways with summer. I don’t feel the excitement for fall that I used to. I thought it would have returned, but it really hasn’t yet.
Mermaid rests near a pond in a bed of fallen leaves. This autumn mermaid image shows The Magic Crafter's original mermaid character, Mermaid Phantom, looking at a fake skull in a pretty fall scene.
Instead of being excited for the harvest festivals, beautiful fall colors, perfectly moody skies and that wonderful cool, crisp autumn breeze, I’ve been preoccupied with the thought of no longer being able to swim. It may seem silly, but really I look forward to jumping in the various lakes in my area with my dad and my boyfriend… not just for the sake of filming mermaid videos, but because I genuinely enjoy swimming and spending time with my loved ones (and the fish).
While it is officially pumpkin season in Mother Nature’s world, I’m still stuck in mermaid season. Perhaps once the water gets cold enough, I’ll finally snap out of it and be ready to appreciate fall once again. We shall see. :)
For those of you who would like both mermaids and fall weather, I hope you will enjoy this video playlist of (mostly) relaxing autumn mermaid videos. All of these videos were filmed in Northern Michigan, by the way. It’s a magical area!
Wishing you a cozy fall!
