You like? It’s a bridge from my old life to my new. Ok, it’s really the San Francisco Bay Bridge. Don’t rain on my parade!
So anyway, we all have a bridge that we’re building. Building it every day, piece by piece. I know school sucks, and you’re bored out of your mind, and wondering when the hell you’re ever gonna really use that algebra and Western Civ crap.
Well, they’re not just classes. Days are not just tick marks on a calendar. They’re parts of a bridge. They get you from here to there, wherever there is. And even if sometimes it seems like the bridge is going to nowhere, you can finish it whenever you like and start another one. Or like a five year-old, knock it down and start over again.
My bridge is taking me from the corporate life to the life of a writer. I’ve never been on that island before, and it’s pretty scary. I mean, hell, I could end up like those folks on LOST, fighting smoke and weird dudes like Benjamin Linus.
Ok, sorry, I’m a bit obsessed right now.
But seriously, think about where your life is heading right now. Today. Where is the bridge you’re building leading to? You may never have even considered it. But take a moment and think - do I want to continue building it? Or really get a thrill by kicking it to hell and starting over again?
The choice is yours.
Where’s your bridge going to?
Right now, it feels like my bridge is rather a little one over a creak. All I have to do right now is travel from one grade to another. But hopefully when I get control over where my bridge will start I hope to have a good idea as to where it will end. Right now, I have no idea. Right now, I am only brave enough to cross over a stream.
ReplyDeleteThat's all it takes...one little crossing at a time. The size of the change doesn't have to be monstrous, and it doesn't have to be scary, like many bridges you see in the movies. And hopefully, most importantly, you realize that you're not building it alone. You have help!
