Upon Condemning

Katie refused to ground herself within reality. She would not condemn herself to the ordinarily mundane. So she sprouted wings and flew away. She never looked back.

John refused to ground himself within his family. He would not condemn himself to the typically overbearing. So he got married and moved away. He always looked back.

Linda refused to ground herself within spirituality. She would not condemn herself to the collective will. So she renounced her God and looked away. She never looked up.

Andrew refused to ground himself within human nature. He would not condemn himself to the depressingly predictable. So he kept to himself and strayed away. He never knew to look back.

Caroline refused to ground herself within death. She would not condemn herself to crippling fear. So she took control and fell away. She was never able to look back.

Thomas refused to ground himself within life. He would not condemn himself to pointless existence. So he took control and fell away. He was never able to look back.

Sue refused to ground herself within the opposite sex. She would not condemn herself to despicable lies. So she revered them all and turned away. She often wanted to look back.

Henry refused to ground himself within fiction. He would not condemn himself to the extraordinarily distinct. So he gawked at variety and never flew away. What was looking back?

Someone refused to ground themselves within something else. They would not condemn themselves to hope. So they ignored instinct and threw themselves away. If only they werent afraid to look back.

If only looking back was more than just that.

wow, that’s really amazing. it seems you are searching. keep going. there are so very few people who do. take care.

I know how you feel.. Hmm. Read my story.. I’m thinking about puting it on my frit page.. I dunno it says everything well almost everything I feel and want to happen but can’t b/c not only would I be hurting myself I’d also be hurting everyone around me and I don’t want that..

Con’t from above… I’m just all confused.. I feel like I never wana look back to anything like I just stray and never come back but then I think what would happen if I did..?Well i’m gonna go… Laterz

Perhaps we need more club club members. I have poor organizational skills. But Im good at money matters. Make me the treasurer

Beautiful and thought provoking

your words are… undescribably wonderful. Each one teases my mind and it makes me smiles. Its the knowledge that people like you live, and live to tell the story that makes me go through the day smiling at least once.

Yea I know.. Hmm.. Ya know and the scary thing about that story is, is thats how I feel and I don’t wanna end up like the girl in my story don’t wanna be lying in my floor with blood around my body then my friends come walking in and finding me then my b/f coming in and seeing me being zipped up into a bag to be taking to a mortuary.. THats the last thing in the world I want.. But hey.. Well ttyl

That was sooo great!! makes a person stop and think..

the best part about that entry is that we all can relate to each character, at least at some point in our lives.. and maybe we ground ourselves to fear, but we also ground ourselves to love… and that’s stronger than any emotion you mentioned. christa grounded herself to love. she smiled everyday and was grateful to be a part of life… she didn’t look back.

Very nice. I find it interesting that the two in the middle (Caroline and the guy after her) both refused to ground themselves within completely opposite things, and yet ended up with the same conclusion. ~ Becky
