The Deep End

SOL #13 (should be #15) See below to find out what the Slice of Life challenge is

One of my favorite shows was on tonight. It's winding down--only 6 or 7 more episodes until the series is over--and there was a line that resonated with me.

The character was drunk and sitting in the bottom of an empty community swimming pool with his siblings. From his perspective, he was the screw-up, his brother had it all together, and his sister would have it together if only she stopped putting obstacles in front of herself.

I don't belong in the deep end. I belong in the shallow end.

It made me think of what was the deep end--for me, for other people. It made me think of how many of us are just treading water as we desperately attempt to keep at least our nose above water.
