i can talk to my mom about life and know everything she knows. i can hear someone talk about signs of their dead relatives and place that somewhere between trite and true. i can see skates in waves and help rig sailboats. i can sit on the water, pulling ropes, talking about lives but know that this is what life comes to. i can rebond with my dad over fashion. i can cry at a movie you shouldn't cry at and walk out laughing too wildly with people who aren't in my life nearly enough. i can need to come home to see the bay but smile seeing the domino sugar sign and understand that it is quite possible to belong to two places at once. i can take deep breaths and know that what will be will be and never let that hinder trying to change it all anyway.
once i had to explain to someone what the phrase "ignorance is bliss" meant and from that day on i knew that there was a heavy price to be paid for awareness.
and i can put myself in the middle of most things, being as balanced as i need without even needing to be dead center, but with that comes a severe lack of something to put your back against.
unless, of course, you have someone out there with you.
***on a less contemplative note, Step Up just may be the "movie that captures the voice of our generation," and i think our generation is really just saying, "we all need to fuckin dance!"
