To Be A Kite (from "A Slip Of The Tongue")
when you put yourself out there
I've found that often it's the emotion that's in you at the moment that comes back to you. I have kept in the back of my head a realization that I made when I was younger that we really are all just kites in the wind, controlled by the elements and sometimes worse: whoever we let yank our string. there must be somewhere in this chaos of life that a person can find true happiness; that beyond our scope there really is salvation. and so in the pursuit of happiness I have put myself out there and I have met such amazing people; and these people have reminded me that there is hope and that dreams are achievable, and that maybe, somehow, there could be a hero in each one of us. as you read this you may feel like I am yanking your string. well I'm not going to lie to you; I'm only going to tell you that nothing in life comes easy. as a kite, I have been fighting with myself all of my life, and in my struggle of being out of control I have gained a bit of insight: what you do with your short existence is what you will get out of it. and all of these hardships that we cannot control will happen, and keep happening - but what is important is how we meet these struggles, and to our end, we have the ability to shape who we are inside.
