The bus ride

Bus rides are cool. It's been a long time since I've gotten an inspiration from one though. This one is abit flawed though. Maybe cause of the long time since I've taken note of small stuff.

It's about

balancing life.

Ever tried standing on the bus the entire ride, not holding on to any railings, balancing yourself? I do that from time to time. Standing independent and anticipating any rough jerks seem to interest me.

To be able to stand well and balance well without support, knowing the challenges that will come along the way, is like learning to live life independently. You learn to stand on your own, fight on your own, grow stronger on your own. Leaning backwards putting more weight on your hind foot when the bus is stopping [due to inertia, force is forward, leaning backwards will balance the forward force :s], putting a foot in the opposite direction of the bus turning [to help give rise to a centripedal force so that you won't fly outwards]. Life, can be handled independently at most times. Learning how to handle it well yourself makes you stronger.

However, life is never quite predictable and peace-flowing. When the bus driver is having a bad mood, or simply isn't experience at all, you see your fair share of ups and downs, lots of jerks, crazy breaks and so on. It is difficult to handle this on your own. Don't forget your pillars of support, the poles and the handgrips. Friends are there to help, and lend your support when you're needed.

Other times, there's just too much load on you that you can't even stand properly. Share the burden, or let some down. Hold on to your supports now, or you will fall easily. Friends will always be there. But you need to be the one to hold on to them first.

Stay strong people, and I hope you guys like this new entry since a long long time =)
