Was randomly looking through my archives and I found these posts and felt the need to re-post them. I'm not entirely sure why I needed to, but something inside me was telling me to so here they are:

The Meaning of Shattered Glass Slipper
Have you ever stopped and wondered what would have happened to Cinderella if her shoe hadn't fallen off that night? Or if the shoe had broken? Well I have and this is what I figure. Shattered glass slipper, it means that you lost your fairytale ending. Your slipper shattered as you were running down the stairs before the Prince (or Princess depending on who you are) could catch you. Therefore they had nothing to search for you with and gave up and married someone else and had a different, but equally good, happily ever after. A shattered glass slipper is just the loss of a dream or a hope or a love. It's that feeling inside that says, "You screwed up... You do know that right? And you realize that you're never going to be able to fix that, right? And that happily ever after isn't ever going to happen for you, right?" It isn't always a sad thing, sometimes it is just a knowledge. So for those of you who actually care enough to read this and wondered what it meant, that is its meaning.


Why I lay on the floor and stare up
People have asked me so many times why I just lay in the middle of a floor and stare up. For hours at a time. They don't understand and I could never really give them the answer. But this is it: People in this day and age spend entirely too much time looking down. We watch every step we take so as to ensure that we don't make a wrong step or take a wrong turn, or trip and fall (metaphorically speaking that is). Nobody looks up anymore. We are content just to let the world slip by, slide through our fingers without seeing it pass. Luckily I realized one day, that if you lay down and look up, you see all the up that you have been missing, and... how can you fall if you're lying on your back?
