Ben just reminded me of his speedboat.
I should introduce the two of you to each other some time.
You guys are complete show-offs.

i swim in a lake. the largest lake of all the great lakes

[torn_paradox]

yes, but isn't it wonderful?

i could be wrong

[torn_paradox]

but it sounds like you're struggling with who you are.

you want to "go with the flow" but something is holding you back.

just remember girlie, you control the tide

Re: i could be wrong

[charmefou]

You aren't entirely wrong, I struggle with myself a lot but then there are other things that are so much bigger than me that I can't control.

disappearing, but not just enough

Then, at some point in that wild struggle, I would just keel over, drown and disappear.

i like this.

Re: disappearing, but not just enough

I get this too. I've had days where I feel like I am shouting my invisible words. I am getting so weary. I am growing tired. I am waving at you from here. I am crawling and looking for the aperture of complete and final emptiness. I am vibrating in isolation among others. I am screaming but it comes out like pieces of clear ice. I am signaling that the volume of all this is too high. I am waving. I am waving my hands. I am disappearing. I am disappearing but not fast enough.

Your thoughts are my thoughts, your pain is my pain, if you were a man I'd make love to you.

I wouldn't say that I necessarily down with all of the pressure of the water working against me; sometimes you just have to keep treading the water, just enough to stay afloat and wait until the tide calms and returns to a more pleasant state with less resistance. I think the different cycles of this tide are what keeps life moving along

[charmefou]

Thank you Meera, I think the tides are only capable of getting bigger at this point but hopefully I'll be surfing instead.

Voyage upon life's sea and embrace it all. You can't stay running for long.. you're a born swimmer and you're fast as hell! So live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air! I'll be right beside you to make sure your head doesn't stay under the water too long ;P

Yup.
My life's a joke.
