There's a Lot to Be Said for Circles

Posted on the 15 January 2015 by Lizb12 @elizabethbrinks

A woman's menstrual cycle, the highs and lows of life, the comings and goings of depression, our weak times, and the times we are strong.
What if it was all a circle?
While there's a lot of different directions I could go with this, I'd like to head towards music.
For me, music is a pulsing line, not much different from the pulse line on a heart monitor machine, but music is also this incredible circle, pulsing with the beat, and dancing all over the place. At some points, certain areas of the circle will be bolder, others, it may not even be visible to the naked eye.
And that's exactly what life is like. Another great example of this is Tumblr.
I can't even begin to give you the range for the different types of emotions going on on Tumblr. But they're all there, okay?
There's your depressed people, who feel hopeless, our Scienc-y people giving facts and advice, our Feminists offering a fresh perspective, the occasionally "wrong" person who gets reprimanded. Anyways, it's all there.
And our lives are just like that, there's the moment when the teacher reads YOUR essay because it's amazing, and the other times you have to announce that you didn't do the homework to the teacher.
I'm going somewhere with this, I pinky promise.
No matter where you are in the circle, it keeps going, otherwise its not a circle! There has to be a curve coming up, a bolder section, or maybe you're starting to disappear, but hang in there. Life is a circle! And you can make this, absolutely and positively.
So, go, and live your circle life-because you can make it, and life is going to keep going, and your circle doesn't, cannot, just stop in the middle, otherwise you're not a circle.
And, you're my circle.
