helikedmyshoesMy uncle had some very wise words for me the other day.
I told him I was in a rut. He said that's okay; ruts are okay. The thing to do in a rut is stick your hands out and feel the walls that surround you, feel them underneath your palms, embrace them and learn their curves - and then look up. Know that there are people who love you. Look up and see the open space above you and know that it's waiting for you to climb out and fill it.
Look up.
