Look At Me! I Can Stack Rocks!

Hello gingers! IT'S A LOT HARDER THAN IT LOOKS, OKAY?

So I don't really know why but I was thinking about those guys who stack rocks in Santa Monica. They do them like all the time and they're everywhere and I have always thought that it was really cool. Granted, I have never seen them in real life but they look pretty awesome in pictures.

So I was thinking about them in my back yard and I decided to build my own out of the rocks I had. It was pretty late at night (and dark) at this point. But I started stacking rocks. And pretty much all of them failed.

But today I went outside and I tried it again. And about 2 hours or something like that later, I got something that worked. It took a lot of work and effort but the key is to not get stressed.

And I got some pretty cool pictures of it.

Pretty cool right? Try to imagine how much work that took. Too bad, you won't be able to imagine it.

My dog knocked it over once, the wind knocked it over once. It was terrible but I finally got it.

And because I'm this "deep thinker" I started thinking that stacking rocks is a metaphor for life.

You make one wrong move that you think is harmless and the whole thing will fall over. Except the first couple of rocks. Your foundation and your base will never fall over with you. They only make it easier to start building again. If you get frustrated, you're never going to get it right. But if you just focus and work hard, you will make it to the top.

And it's all about balance. It's about making sure it's stable before you put another rock on top. Balancing everything that is going on to make it successful. You have to learn how to turn the rocks to make it stand on top of the rock below it.

And just being awesome. Don't forget to just be awesome.

Keep On Stacking Rocks,
