I fell today. Again. I tend to do that a lot lately. I'm not proud of it. Somewhere amidst the crazy thoughts and almost breakdown I remembered this quote that Sammy told me yesterday. Yesterday it was just a quote. Today it was a lifesaver. There's just something so powerful of the image of little Bruce Wayne being lifted out of the well with the bats flying around coming back into the world. It was scary down in the well, but it's also scary in the world. Sometimes we throw ourselves down into the well, cover ourselves with a bit of dirt, and beckon the bats to us. Then when someone comes to help lift us up, we realize the world is an ugly place, filled with fear, violence, hurt, uncertainty. It's also a beautiful place of love, giggles, and lucky charms.
We're going to fall. Sometimes it's an accident. Sometimes we do it to ourselves. But that's. Ok. Because we need to learn to pick ourselves up. There's no greater feeling than knowing you were down in the well, and it may be at a snails pace, but you yourself climbed out of that well. You did it. There were those loved ones standing at the top, cheering you along the way, doing everything they could do to help. But it was the strength of your own arms and legs that pushed you up.
