Struggling to Float

Published to Tumblr February 8, 2016

This is actually the perfect analogy for me - because I don’t float. I had swimming lessons as a kid and it was the most frustrating thing because I had to struggle every moment just to stay on top of the water. The teacher would be right next to me while I did the dead man’s float and she was as frustrated as I was that I would end up in the perfect pose, only about a foot below the surface. 

My life is the same way. If I try to just take it easy and float along, I drown. Every single moment of every single day I have to struggle to stay above the surface.
