Keep Us From Drowning

From two years ago...

A little something to spark your thoughts...


Is there ever a time when we will be ready?

Ready to say goodbye to our friends,
let go of our families, move out
and move into our lives.

Seventeen and living alone...

They say the world is full of opportunity
but are they right?

Will you be able to make a name for yourself?
Will you be able to succeed?

How do we know we are ready for life to happen?
How do we know we are ready to grow up?

Sure, we are always wanting to be older then we are, so shouldn't we be okay with it?

We create goals for ourselves to achieve. We want the simple path with no speed bumps. We want to go to college , graduate and start are well awaited career.
But how do we know we are ready?

How do avoid the speed bumps, caution signs, and red lights?

How do we know we are ready?

I guess there are no rules, hand books or cheat sheets for life.
I guess there are just reasons.

So, how do we know we are ready?

We don't.

We just dive into life, head first and hope there is enough air in our lungs to keep us from drowning
