Day 296 - 4/8/11

I feel like this picture above. Hmm, I guess I should explain what that means. I know it's a tennis ball. I feel like a tennis ball. The big "three" in my life (family, friends, and school) constantly serving and returning me back and forth in one crazy somewhat endless volley. That's ok to me though. I want to feel that I'm being shared evenly amongst the three but there are some days in which I feel someone/something has swung and missed throwing off the balance. When you get so caught up in other things, it's hard not to let older things slip through the cracks. Older, not as in age or wisdom, but as in familiar. Things that were once familiar really don't seem familiar anymore after a hiatus. It makes you question whether you've moved forward and they've stood still or vice versa. Back to the tennis ball metaphor, I imagine it may be a challenge to keep the volley going if the ball, perhaps, is busted. Just know, I'm trying bounce around to all of you, busted seams and all.
