In my book of life, metaphorically, water is both time and life, and fire is hope:

Listening to: nope
Feeling: frozen
Its' late, all late entries are hereby written at their own risk. I'm not responsible for what comes out of my mouth this late. I'm not dead by the way! Today, I woke up not wanting to move. I wanted to lay and be content where I lay. Metaphorically more than physically. I yearn to move at some level, whether more physical or restless and moronically emotional I don't know. But when I thought of leaving where I am now for the vast world of bigness, I just wanted to lay here a while longer. I return to school in less than a week. I don't have all my classes figured out and I really don't know where I want to go with my life. I keep thinking I just want it all to be simpler, but I feel so much pressure to be prepared for the rest of my life. I feel like I need to be stronger for my family. Those are big words coming from me. I don't enjoy responsibility. My favorite place is as comfortably and safely irresponsible as possible. I thought that's how you make life worth living. It's the rush of new and uncharted territory; the wirl of unfamiliarity that takes over and pulls you under the clear cut world and into the instinctual, nearly animal, presence of mind that I miss most. I want to feel life again, to dip my head beneath the clear sky and into the murky waters that are human existence and taste the earthy liquid that is humanity. I want to throw myself into the river and let it run its course with me, as I have always done, but I can't bring myself to leap knowing I have a wife to care for. And I can't find a way to share that life with her, knowing she can't even see it. I want to move, really. To stretch my limber body and lift my narrow frame high into the water, to thrash and frolic, or even just swim with the current. Alas I am paralyzed by fear.
