powerful powerless


Horseback riding makes me feel powerful because I feel free and dangerous. I love the feeling of the smooth canter of the horse's feet. The feeling of the wind in my hair makes it seem like I am in a movie. When I place my foot into the stirrup and hoist myself into the saddle its like I'm that ready to conquer the world.

One of the recent things that I have learned that makes me feel powerless is my broken arm. I cant do much and I'm always asking people for help. I can no longer play sports or hold things very well. Even simple tasks like zipping up my sweater or having a shower are are hard to do. I have to wrap up my arm in a bag a stick it out the shower door. Maybe I should be more careful when I snowboard next time!
