Lines


At some point, we have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out, they fence us in.

Life is messy, that's how we're made. We can waste our life drawing lines or we can live our life crossing them.

But there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross. Here's what I know. If we're willing to throw caution to the wind and take a chance, the view from the other side... is spectacular.

It's all about lines. The finish line at the end of residency, waiting in line for a ticket at the counter, and then there’s the most important line, the line separating us from the people we live with.

We need boundaries - between us and the rest of the world. Other people are far too messy. It’s all about lines... drawing lines in the sand and praying like hell no one crosses them.

In general, lines are there for a reason. For security, for clarity. If we choose to cross the line, we pretty much do so at our own risk.

So why is it that the bigger the line, the greater the temptation to cross it? We can’t help ourselves. When we see a line, we want to cross it. Maybe it’s the thrill of the unfamiliar, a sort of personal dare.

The only problem is once that we’ve crossed, it’s almost impossible to go back. But, if we do manage to make it back across the line, we find safety in numbers.

p/s: I draw the pic. hehe.
