fulcrum.

it's funny how life can change in an instant. one minute you may be on top of the world, the next, something drags you down so bad that you cannot get back up.

like a seesaw with a fulcrum in the middle, life is balanced when nothing drastic or huge is put on it. put something on either of the sides and the balance shifts. in a way, one side of the seesaw could be seen as good news, joy, your sanctuary. in contrast, the other side would be the opposite, your nightmare, your hell, just somewhere you would want to escape out of.

in life many things hit you hard, and sometimes just like a seesaw with a toddler and a fat kid on either side, the balance cannot shift, no matter how hard you try. whilst you may be contempt with yourself if you were on the side that is your sanctuary and wouldn't mind just sitting there with things on your side, if you were on the other side, and if you were the fatty, no matter how hard you try to kick up or push, whilst you may elevate up, you will always end up coming back down to the ground, not levelled on balanced with the other side, but back down, deep into the ground.

you can't control what happens in your life. just like a seesaw in a park cannot control who sits on it, and sits on what side respectively. you can only hope for the best, and expect the worst. whilst most people go on about three simple words making their day, even the smallest of words can crush all hope you have left in the world, all the optimism you have and all the beliefs you once stood strong for. whilst some words people crave to hear, there are some, people fear and dread to hear as it may be sooooooo heavy it breaks the seesaw x]
