The other day I relearned a valuable lesson in life. One worth repeating over, and over. I may not remember what a prepositional phrases is but I learned different things in school than most.
My friends stopped and ate their lunch, but I was ready to go off again. I jumped into the water and made my way for the distance island. Not far, especially for someone scared to get their eyes wet, but far enough that only 5-6 people were there. After a quick exploration, I climbed a small rock formation, jumped off and floated away. I floated. I laid on my back and let the current wash me to shore. As I did, I sized up the entire cliff of the so called island. I looked it up, and down, and slowly drifted away, smiling. I can easily say this moment was enlightening to me and I will never forget it. I have carried with me for years much burden. I have carried it across the world, left it at this ocean, and stranded it. I've fled. "Goodbye worries, enjoy the views! The water is warm. May you no learn to swim!" I drifted back to shore, and turned to actually swim. And to face my future head on. Free from all troubles, it started to rain. Life is never that simple.
