Rocket Ships

People are kind of like rocket ships. They are complicated and not a whole lot of people know how they work and what they're made of. 

Rocket ships can take us to far away places. Places we had never dreamed of. Places we never knew or thought existed. 

Once there though.... They can break down. They can leave us stranded somewhere that we may not have even wanted to be. Alone. Wondering, how did I even wind up here in the first place and is there any hope that I can be saved from here?

When you climb aboard a rocket ship you put an awful lot of trust in it that this journey will not end like that. When you open your heart to someone you hope that too. 

Rocket ships are a lot like people. And in your adventures you take you will be stranded at least once, sometimes it will be a faulty rocket ship that wasn't calibrated to your piloting style. Sometimes it will be your own error. Sometimes a combination of both. 

In the end it's hard to tell what went wrong. You may never know, even after you've crawled from the wreckage and pulled the good pieces out of what was once your beautiful rocket ship to make shelter and keep you warm until you can move on. 

So yeah.... People are a lot like rocket ships. If you care to see it that way.
