Life According To An EKG

It's kind of hard to think of something to write about. Do I write about something positive or something negative? Well, since I don't think I should write about things better told to a therapist, I guess I will share a theory of mine on life. Which as it happens deals with both positive and negative. Life is most often referred to as a road that we travel with different paths and forks to take, the experiences learned along the way equals the person we are today, or in that particular moment, as life is constantly in motion. But I like to think of life as an EKG. The "flat line" is our path in life, same as the road in the above expression. The pulse of the EKG is our highs and lows, our happiness and our sadness, the roller coaster at Great America and the day a loved one died; our experiences. Now one of our experiences may take us so far away from the "flat line" that it becomes a completely different path in life. Let us say for example someone who abuses drugs. Thier EKG dips so low in addiction that now they are no longer the person they were on the original "flat line" and they may never climb back up to the person they were supposed to be, and this new "flat line" will have it's own ups and downs. Conversely someone may take a vacation to Europe and love the country and lifestyle so much they move there away from friends, family and other loved ones, and now they are on a completely different "flatline" with it's own EKG ups and downs. Ever have a day where things just seem to go right? Like life is flowing and you're right where you need to be. Then you have those days where life is throwing you curve after curve and you just want to go home and start over, or realign yourself with the "flatline". Of course this is just my own little theory, the way I like to look at life according to an EKG.
