Finding My Balance

The overhead lamplight flickered slightly. I was frozen mid-stride, balancing on one sneaker over the painted asphalt decal. Slowly, my outstretched arms relaxed. I tested my weight, gently lowering my lifted left foot until the sole met the cracked miniature pavement with a quiet tap. Right beside me stood a small signpost. I reached out a fabric sleeve, grazing its metal edge, and felt the cool, firm surface beneath my touch. Everything here is quiet, grounded, and steady. #Bloodyroar
