Swinging on the swingset like a little kid - it makes me feel so free. I wish I was that little girl again, so innocent and young, before the world changed who I was. Swinging back and forth - that never changes. The lulling motion of rocking back and forht, back and forth, never changing; it makes me feel so secure. Someone darts out in front of me and I swerve: all of my energy dedicated to not hitting that person. It scares the shit out of me, just like real life. Twisting the chains until they won't twist anymore, and then letting go - that feeling is amazing and terrifying at the same time. Your life is spiraling out of control and yet it's just ok. Life is good. Scary, but it'll work out in the end.
Reason for writing:
a recent trip to a playground i used to visit all the time has made me as reflective as hell.
