: climb. fall. repeat.

how high is too high?
how big is too big?
how far will we go just to slip off the edge?
we all fall down; life takes us out.
the sky starts spinning when our heads get above the clouds;
the higher we fly the harder it feels when we hit the ground.
we all fall down.


we all are climbing the same mountain.
we all reach the top; our breath is taken away.
and than we are so high above life that we think nothing else matters;
eventually, we have to climb down the mountain because reality sets in;
you can only be in the clouds for so long until you have to fall;
fall back to the ground; reality.
but where do we find the courage to turn our life back around once hitting the ground?


simple answer; we are all in the same boat, on the same mountain, in the same race and in the same world; we are in this together. and you should realize that once you hit the ground, you find courage in yourself and other people; know that you aren't in this alone. don't be selfish. there isn't one person in this world who isn't striving for that one thing; that one thing that makes their life whole. me; i am climbing this mountain with you, walking beside you, looking for the same thing you are; realize that. realize that there are other people on this mountain with you; so don't forget about the other racers of life. we climb, we fall, we strive; together.

now, me; there is one thing at the top of my mountain that can make my life whole; love. yes, never thought i'd say it, but to be loved and love a man. to be married. to have a family. to have someone to come home too and share moments with. that's at the top of my mountain. within my mountain, my career fits in somewhere; but the most important part of my mountain is the top; and in order to get to the top, i have to keep on climbing and falling and climbing and falling; because i won't settle for anything less than what i deserve. so if i pick a bad root here and there, i climb, i fall. repeat. life is all about tests and trials, and if it doesn't work, so be it, i just get back up and start the climb all over again until one day i will pick a flower instead of a root; and with that flower will come the top of the mountain; my happy ending.
