Catch and Cradle

by Katia Rose

Maybe it’s okay that I don’t totally believe it. Maybe I don’t have to. Maybe that’s what being a Lobster means—what being a friend means: believing in the people you love so much that they always find their way back to believing in themselves. I click the button. My friends cheer. I can do anything.

Life changes. It’s always moving and shifting, just like the sea or the sky. The world grows and evolves, and we have to grow and evolve right along with it. Counting on people isn’t about asking them not to change; it’s about trusting them to keep being there for you even when they do change.

Maybe I am crazy sometimes. Maybe I have reckless moments that seem irresponsible, but maybe that’s okay. Maybe sometimes you just need to take the damn shot and stop worrying about what everyone else will say.
