Shallow: No Diving

You've heard about the dangers of superficiality. People who hang in the shallow end are just a few inches away from hitting rock bottom. You want to swim in the deep end and explore what's underneath the surface, right? Well, that's great, but the understated complication of depth is the risk of getting in too deep, and it's a risk that makes the rocky shallow end look much more inviting.

When I get in too deep, I wish I was a shallow person, because even though I know I'll eventually make it out, there are those moments where I'm convinced that I'm going to drown in that water.

Love,
Juliana

  2. Hahaha, Melissa! Juliana, you shouldn't feel this way, though. Shallow people don't get to appreciate the deeper meaning and beauty of life, love, spirituality, etc.

  4. I know, Lauren. I was just trying to say that you always hear about how it's bad to never look deeper into anything, but you never hear about how it can be bad to look too deep into everything. I get in way over my head sometimes because I think I care too much about things.
