standing on the edge

December 16, 2008

I’m standing on the edge. I can feel my weakness take over, the ground crumbling beneath me. My chest tightens to constrict my breathing . My thoughts spin twisting the truth till it’s no longer in sight. The sky is dark  the wind spinning around takes what stability was left. My heart tells me to jump. My soul keeps me grounded. Something deep within  holds me back against my will, the ground to unstable to turn back. I feel my knees shake giving way… my heart knows the fall would be amazing, my soul knows the pain of hitting the ground. No life line in sight no ray of light on the horizon. I feel butterfly’s inside fighting their way out, longing for that sweet release of freedom. Looking back I no longer see the path that lead me hear, to the edge.

Ok I have not poster in a LONG time just because I haven’t felt like it, sorry I don’t have a better reason. I thought this would be something fun to get me back on my blog, so here we go…

My friend Sarah tagged me and I thought it was fun and interesting to learn some random/weird facts about her so now it’s my turn and I hope you enjoy mine.

1. I lived in Maun Botswana (Africa) for almost 2 years, something most of you already know but still what I consider to be one of the most interesting things about me. And better yet I moved there when I was only 17.

2. I have 60+ panties. Having worked at Victoria’s Secret this happens. (Sorry to any of my brothers who may be reading and didn’t want to know THAT.)

3. I went bungee jumping at Victoria Falls (111 meters, the second highest in the world, I wanted to do the highest in SA but never got the chance. Maybe one day.) Not once but TWICE!!

4. I didn’t ACTUALLY jump on my bungee jump, I more or less FELL. I didn’t have the nerve to JUMP and the guys were not aloud to push me so I just kind of crumpled my legs under me and fell off the ledge. I thought I would have the nerve for the second time a month later but it went down the same way. I don’t know if I will ever go again (not likely because of my over protective/ over conservative husband) but if I do I hope to have the nerve to JUMP!

5. I will be voting for the first time ever this November. I didn’t want to vote for the last one and I really don’t WANT to this time either, but I will anyways. Someone still has yet to convince me that my vote actually counts.

6. I hate bats ever since I was little and I hate birds too. You never know what they are thinking and they have the potential to fly into you at any moment. I would rather be met with snakes and lions any day!! Oh wait I have met those too! When I see a bat I literally freeze up. and want to pee my pants.

7. This is the most random and bazaar thing about me (or maybe about anyone!). Ever since I was really little I have had a thing for Scotch Tape!! I don’t know how it started and I doubt if it will ever stop, but I love to play with it in my fingers. It has some sort of calming ability and if I am getting the munchies I pull out a piece of tape and it keeps my mind off of food. And it’s not just any kind of tape, it must be Scotch Tape and I like my peace to be a cretin size, not to short not to long.

Other than these, I think I can say that I am somewhat normal. Now here are my Tags!

Joy, Brandy, Alece, Angie, Deronn, Sarah, Kendra.

She has a great post for BLOG Action Day about Poverty. It’s something that I noticed while in Africa and has always stayed with me and haunted me. I hope it stirs you, maybe say some prayers for children in Africa and all around the world, thank you for taking the time to check it out. It is worth your time.
