Gravity

I wish I could fly. Just take off into that clear blue sky without a second thought. Spread my arms like a bird, or maybe go for the superman look. It would be super awesome.

Unfortunately, I'm an average human and I can't. It's that gravity thing.

Gravity is an interesting thing. While no, I can't fly, it does keep me from falling off the face of the earth. It keeps me from floating away into the great beyond and suffocating on the lack of oxygen. It keeps me stable. Solid. It also keeps me from doing retarded things because I already know that gravity will prevent it. Sometimes, I go ahead and be retarded anyway (remember, I'm an average human).

I think we have many types of 'gravity' in our lives. It could be work, health, family, children, etc. For me, I would have to say it would definitely be my fiance. He keeps me from doing some really crazy stuff (some of which I still do anyway). But he is always there to get me stable. Solid. My family also plays a huge part. I am constantly aware that I am being watched, scrutinized, and sometimes idolized by my younger siblings. I don't want to mislead them. They keep me stable. It is important to have healthy 'gravity' in our lives.

However, there is unhealthy 'gravity' too. It may keep us solid, but it keeps us so solid that we don't get to go anywhere or do anything. There is no growth. It could be work, drugs, family, etc. I will come clean here and tell you that my most unhealthy 'gravity' is my fear. The fears of my past haunt me, incessantly. They hold me in such a vice grip that it is almost impossible to move forward and let go.

But I fight it! And I fly, anyway, despite being an average human....

What is the 'gravity' in your life?

May the Frets be with you!
