Dancing through life, skating through life. It all sounds graceful. I am not at all graceful. I fall walking up stairs, walking down stairs, off my bike, on level pavement, walking, standing. I am pretty gifted at being clumsy. Though I don't want to be compared to a dumb fictional charactor who needs a vampire to keep her stable. I am grateful that I have not danced through life, or skated, or drifted. I have clumsly made my way these 28 years. I have fallen many times, taken tons of emotional tumbles, and though I have my scars and bruises I embrace it. I can't imagine what my life would be like if I had not fallen as many times as I have, or made all the mistakes I had made. I assume it would be boring. I also assume I would not be funny. Because lets be honest, if you don't make mistakes you probably don't have a sense of humor. How can you laugh at yourself?
"We're adults. When did that happen? And how do we make it stop?" Yes I can find depth in Grey's Anatomy. I am focusing on being an adult now. Sure I have technically been an adult for 10 years, but now I'm settling in to the idea of it all. I am looking to buy a house, not right now, but it's why I am living at home. Trying to save up money. I am thinking of my kids, the ones I plan on adopting some day. Mortgage payments, baby proofing a house...why is it I am worrying about things that are no where near being in my grasp? Do I worry because I desperatly want them? Am I accepting being a grown up and just fully ready to jump in? "We're adults. When did that happen? And how do we make it stop?" Amen Meredith Grey. Amen.
