The Burdens of Being Upright

no expression

a renewed faith in mankind./?

things always get to the highest point right before they start declining. like if you throw a ball into the air. there's a point right when the ball stops moving upwards and starts falling back to the ground. and for a split second, the ball is weightless. if you look without blinking you can see that the ball seems to pause in mid-air. that pause is where i'm at right now. that feeling of weightlessness. where everything's great and you can just enjoy the view. but then there's the knowledge that the only thing left to do is decline. and you can feel it all start to slip away. as you prepare to crash and burn.

isnt this supposed to be a time for optimism?
