Ambiguity often describes the murky waters of adulthood. Just when I think I’ve figured something out, I find another wrinkle. Those wrinkles aren’t easy to press out, either.

Lovely metaphor.

I feel this one… us all striving to get past the WTFness of things and keep learning, growing, loving, trusting—particularly as a group, so unwieldy… every now and then I just feel time peel away… until human voices wake us and we drown.

Namaste

Beautiful truth.

“We are all flawed and wounded, we all limp. None of us dances without stumbling. But none of us needs others to tell us we are broken. We aren’t.”

Or, in the words of Coldplay, “Just because I’m losing, doesn’t mean I’m lost.”

Your post made me think about those who have unfettered access to me. My immediate response is that there are so few and then I realize that this in fact not necessarily true. In fact, I think I might let too many people have unfettered access to me and not have realize the impact that has on me. I’m just thinking of this now, it comes at a time when it is appropriate for me to be thinking of such things, to evaluate the relationships I have and decide what I want them to be so that I can be me. I believe there is an element of truth to letting go and trusting, but then again one needs to be careful to not value too much or it would be very easy to lose oneself to the expectations of others.

You’ve left me with lots to think about! Thanks for this.

“Life is endlessly long and it is heartbreakingly short.”
This line… this is it. All of it, to recognize this and move forward with our days living it.
This was beautiful, Lindsey.

Ahhh, Lindsey. Insightful and beautiful. My heart aches after recognizing the powerful truth of your words. I leave buoyant, tucking your advice into my pocket…and embracing my uncertainty.
