When you fall down, it's common that you attempt to get back up. Although it hurts, you have to find a way to shrug it off and laugh at not only yourself, but the moment too. It's the moment of falling that you are able to determine how truly dedicated you are to saving something else.
Today, I fell up the bleachers. I must say that it's not my proudest moment. Although I'm still in pain and am mulling over my stupidity, I realize that I learned something. I learned that there are priorities when falling! You see, when you fall, you're probably carrying something or have something on you that shouldn't be banged up and broken. That precious item for me, just happened to be my camera...the most essential limb of myself. When I realized that I was hurtling towards the bleachers, there was only on thing on my mind. You'd probably think that I was trying to figure out how to catch myself and how to play this off cool. But that was furthest from my train of thought. I was instead frantically trying to get my hands around my camera so that it wouldn't hit the bleachers and break. Great dedication, right?
I think that we all have moments in life that are like this. A time where something so little can mean so much and have such a big weight in our minds. This, I think, is love in some sort. You love something so much that you'd do anything to keep it safe, no matter the consequence. You would go to world's end to keep it safe from any harm. In your case it probably won't be a camera; however, items like this are unique to each person. Because of this never-ending love, we are able to save these things most of the time. Then when you recover from your quality time with the bleachers you can just smile and know that everything's alright because all that's important is okay, and that's all that really matters.
