how much does ur life weigh? imagine for a second that ure carrying a backpack. i want u to pack it with all the stuff that u have in your life... u start with the little things. the shelves, the drawers, the knickknacks, then u start adding larger stuff. clothes, tabletop appliances, lamps, ur TV... the backpack should be getting pretty heavy now. u go bigger. ur couch, ur car, ur home... i want u to stuff it all into that backpack. Now I want u to fill it with people. start with casual acquaintances, friends of friends, folks around the school... and then u move into the people u trust with your most intimate secrets. ur brothers, ur sisters, ur children, ur parents and finally ur husband, ur wife, ur boyfriend, ur girlfriend. u get them into that backpack, feel the weight of that bag. make no mistake ur relationships are the heaviest components in ur life. all those negotiations and arguments and secrets, the compromises. the slower we move the faster we die. make no mistake, moving is living. some animals were meant to carry each other to live symbiotically over a lifetime. star crossed lovers, monogamous swans. we are not swans. we are sharks. up in the air.
