Restless
I have this recurring dream where I’m on a swing. When I swing high up into the air, I feel a rush of adrenaline as my feet almost touch the sky. When I swing back, my heart beat steadies as the sky distances itself and stretches into an endless blue horizon in front of me.
That’s how I feel my life is like sometimes. At times, it reaches dizzying heights and I feel like everything is within my grasp, even the sky. And then there are times when you get pulled back and see the big picture, and how minuscule you are in the grand scheme of things. And how it’s beyond your control that certain things are out of reach.
And of course, there are also those times when life just…f**king sucks. Pardon my eloquence.
But I guess without bitterness, you would never know the taste of sweetness. Without pain, you would never know the sensation of pleasure. Without defeat, you would never know the triumph of victory.
Not that I’m trying to say life is rough on me right now. Quite on the contrary.
I’m just waiting for those dizzying heights.
