Grey Balloons


Lately, I feel caught up.
Like balloons, once free and colorful, now faded to shades of grey and trapped within the grasp of prevailing power lines.
Tangled in a web of what ought to be.
Every day, life seems to become a little more tangled.
Sometimes we let these complications dominate us.
Swamp our lives with emotions that are all too often unnecessary.
I often find it extremely hard to find balance.
Locate your true priorities and keep only the essentials.
Give away or lose the others.
The simple things are the most valuable.
Don't lose sight of that.
Too often we make our own cages.
Of the mind.
Of the heart.
We have the key to unlock them, but sometimes lack the will to use it.
Set your mind free and make your own decisions.
Unlock your heart and allow yourself to love freely.
Unlock your mind and live freely.
But most of all never underestimate your potential or discount your abilities.
Most great achievements are based on perseverance.
Persist and believe in yourself.
If you don’t, no one else will.
When others give in, keep going.
It’s ok if you falter.
That’s why we have faith.


“Be not afraid of greatness”- William Shakespeare

  1. If you keep yourself tangled, you'd deflate lying still. Set yourself loose, and you're free to roam.

  2. You know the solution? Call Natalie, remind her to bring the 11 foot ladder (she will most likely bring the 9 foot, if not reminded), and she will chop them balloons free with some nifty Cutco scissors ;)
