Now this is gonna be a little difficult so stay with me
How much does your life weigh?
Imagine for a second that you're carrying a backpack. Now I want you to pack it
with all of the stuff that you have in your life You start with the little things.
things on shelves,
and in drawers, the knick-knacks
Then you start adding larger things
clothes
table-top appliances, lamps, the T.V.
Well, that should be getting pretty heavy now, And you go bigger
The couch
Your car, your home
I want you to stuff-it all-into that backpack
Now, I want you to fill it with people
start with casual acquaintances
friends of friends
folks around the office
then you move into the people that you trust with your inner-most secrets
your brothers your sisters
the children
parents
and finally your husband your wife
boyfriend your girlfriend
Get'm into that backpack
feel the weight of that pack
make no mistake your relationships are the heaviest components in your life
All those negotiations arguments and secrets
compromise
The slower we move the faster we die
make no mistake
Moving is living
some animals were meant to carry each other
To live symbiotically over a lifetime
star-crossed lovers, monogamous swans
We, are not swans
, we're sharks
