A couple times a week, I get dizzy and confused. It doesn’t last long, and I know what causes it (a benign tumor in my head). It’s a feeling I’ve known for over a decade.
I don’t like it, but what can you do? All I can do is plant my feet firmly on the ground and know the vertigo will eventually pass. As long as I think about my feet planted firmly on the ground, I’m good no matter how toppled space and time seem.
If it’s a big spin, I remind myself that I’ve been there before. Sometimes when it’s really bad, I think about how the planet is spinning and falling through the universe beneath my feet. (Probably not the best idea, but it’s a good reminder that I always win. If that doesn’t take my feet out from under me, nothing will.) Against the mass in my head, and the spinning of the planet, I’m grounded
.
And when the moment passes and I feel my feet are below me again, I trudge on, falling through time and space on a big blue rock, enjoying it all just a little more than before.
