The Unsinkable

I've been realizing more and more lately that no matter how much you grow up, your desire to be around the people you love never leaves you. As you branch out you begin to value more and more the people and things in your life that are constants, the ones that are always there no matter what. And the more people that enter your life, the more you realize how important your roots are. My high school years were spent fighting with my family and desperately trying to fit in with friends. I promised myself on several occasions I would never go back to that house or those people once I left. Looking back I realize how stupid those thoughts were. My family is my dock now days and all other things in my life are just floating ships, sinkable floating ships, some more sinkable than others. And when I'm sinking, I know to go to the one and only place with the only people that will never fail to be there, holding me above the water. The unsinkable.
