Balancing Act

~

By Rowan Finley Published 11 months ago 1 min read

Life ~

The great balancing act

Ironically,

there is no life hack in general

Life ~

The colorful circus,

ups and downs, they jar and jerk us

Life ~

The wild adventure

Riding in a car with wild expectations

Life ~

The greeting card that surprises us

from that relative we almost forgot about

Life ~

The curveballs that broke our windows

making us reroute our five year plans

Life ~

What happened when we were sleeping

or snoring secrets through the night

Life ~

The grace we opened in gift bags,

and the grace we gifted back to others

    Life’s full of little shocks, huh? If life had a life hack, it’d probably just be vibes and persistence.

    Oh yes, life... the roller coaster 😵‍💫 ups and downs and ups, and then a pin falls out of the ride thingy and there we are...

    the repetition of the word life hits like the one, two, three punch that life can be.
