Catching Turtles

If fishing were easy then I more than likely would not do it but like many things I am left to my own short falls and short comings when it comes to my various undertakings. Much like this turtle, I am dangling on a line at the end of fate's reel. I say, "Read my stories. See how clever I am." But in fact, I am not. Just a thief of words and ideas. I post pictures on Facebook saying to myself, "Surly someone will see my photographic genius." But this is not the case. The reality of the situation is, I am not that impressive. That even goes for my climbing as well. If my boyfriend were not so generous with his advise I more than likely would not climb a single thing and that is more or less a fact. I accidentally filmed myself climbing one day and then watched it, not knowing it was me, I said, "Shit. That girl is fucking strong but has no technique. That boy is telling her what to do." Let me just say that it was very embarrassing to discover that it was none other than myself. I erased that video. It invoked the same feeling of those very embarrassing high school photos that you never wish to see again. Fuck. My boyfriend tells me to stay positive so I look at it this way: Fish are not the only thing you can eat.
