Message in a Bottle

My image of myself was once of being inside a tiny bottle floating in space.

But I eventually realized that not being able to breathe or hear or move was not the way I wanted to live.

I vowed to get out of the bottle and come back to Earth and be part of life again. The hardest part of the vow was saying out loud that I wanted it even though I knew that meant I would make mistakes and hurt others and be hurt.

I think lately I have managed to partially re-bottle myself, though. Or maybe I just received a bottle containing some more parts that I accidentally left up there.

I used to think I was like a bottled spider....
