We All CRY Sometimes

I saw a quote along the subway line the other day. It says goes like this:

“hovering

All of us

hovering

between

the dream

of possibility

and the

certainty

of gravity”

I believe we all yearn for something more. There’s this flicker inside us we hope burns into a fantastic flame before it fizzles into embers. The only thing preventing this fire is gravity. Our self-doubt, our fears, the words of defeat we whisper to ourselves instead of fanning those flames.

I say we all CRY sometimes because at some point, we all experience these emotions. And these emotions can make us feel small. But if we’re able to hover long enough, we can overcome this certainty.

Do not let gravity hold you down.
