directionless yes, but that's to be expected
and I know that best.

soil, soil.
I feel like everyone has such great expectations that I can't always live up to. I feel like I am a rope that is being tugged on, one ligament at a time. My fibers are frazzled, my ends are split. I try to divide myself evenly but find I'm not gifted with balance. Some people I coil around protectively but there are others I'd rather ensnare or whip fiercely. There are a selective few I bind myself to, committing to them eternally and asking them humbly to never let me go. Other times...I just want the game to be over and for everyone to let me fall to the ground.
To paraphrase the wise, not to mention, kick-ass, Bruce Lee, you have to be like a reed, able to sway and bend with the wind but strong enough to stand against the tides.
ReplyDeleteIt's natural to feel this way. The bonds we form with people can be loose or solid, yet both kinds exert force on us. I'd like to say that you will figure out how to balance everything, but that remains to be seen. The bottom line is that those bonds were formed by YOU and YOU control how you react to being tugged at by others.
